What would you do if you had no Internet access for 48 hours?

This morning I was just casually browsing 

through my newsfeed on Facebook like 

I always do, (like almost 24/7) 'cause that is what 

Facebook addicts like me do.

Hi my name is Jamie. 

I am an addict.

My drug of choice is Facebook.

Anyway, back to this post.

 Mental note:  I am here and not there.

(Hah!)

I came across this post that said 

"What would you do if you had no 

Internet access for 48 hours?"

Now there's a thought.

My immediate comment was, "I might actually

do some real housework, LOL."

I should have said "I might actually do 

something productive right now."

Shhh!  I am really at work right now.

So I guess that means I need

to wrap this post up, huh?

Anyway, in my defense to the whole 

being a Facebook addict thing, 

I can honestly say that it has helped me

stay alive, to be able to wake up another day.

Depression sucks.  

It sucks the energy out of you.

It makes you over think and

think of issues that weren't even there 

in the first place.

I get really lonely at times, yet

don't want to leave the house.

I struggle everyday.

I am always so stressed out.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I am tired of never having any money.

I am tired of telling people

"I am sorry I don't have the money."

I am tired of sleeping all the time.

Thankfully, I do have a job.

I have to work, even if I have to live

paycheck to paycheck.

So, maybe if I had 48 hours away from the Internet

I may be productive and I may not.

Please tell me!

What would you do if you had 

no Internet access for 48 hours?

I would like to thank Mental Health Mission for 

reminding me of my Facebook addiction. 

This page aims to raise awareness, promote recovery and 

help to end the stigma of mental health illnesses and 

addictions.

It's all good though.

I do know my limits, okay maybe sometimes.

There are days that I do "Just say no!" 

to Facebook, especially when there are

a lot of triggers and I find myself starting to 

over think posts and quotes.

I am a highly sensitive soul.

Yeah, add that to the mix.

Such is life, my life.

I live it well.

 

Just Saying

If you can laugh at yourself literally,
make fun of yourself, 
and are not afraid to be a little silly,
seriously you can do anything.

My Normal To Do List

Some days this is all the 
motivation I have to do anything.

Just to stay awake some days 
is truly impossible.

Oh, the ever loving Selfie

**Click Title Below to Read Article **

Scientists Link Selfies To Narcissism, 

Addiction & Mental Illness

What do you think about this?

While you are pondering this, 
here are a few selfies of me.

Here is what I think of the whole selfie thing:

I am not a narcissist. 
I despise those who are. 

Yes, I am addicted to social media.
But I am lonely and it occupies my time.

No, I am not addicted to posting selfies
by no means, but I do like that I am 
beginning to like certain things about me.

Yes, I do have to take several pictures at a time
in order for me to find ones I like.

And yes I suffer from a mental illness, 
but it has nothing to do with me taking selfies.

I do love attention, but when I post my selfie
I do not do it with the hopes or intention of
getting likes and comments.
I do it just because I can.
I am finally getting a little more 
comfortable at seeing myself in print.
I grew up hating having my picture taken.
I hated seeing myself.
I thought I was so ugly.
I am no way near 100% comfortable 
in my own skin (hence the fact I only
do head shots) but I am working on it.

Of course I understand that some 
people can take selfies to the extreme. 
 I am sorry it causes problems for some.

We all have our reasons why 
we do the things we do.
Honestly, I think that the professionals
have blown the whole selfie thing out of control.
But it is what it is.

Hey You!

Be the best you, you can be!

The Business of Living

Well now that I am a whole week behind,

I feel like a loser.

I had such great intentions of catching up but

well, thanks to stress, chronic fatigue, and

my old friend depression, I didn't.

 

It has been a rough, emotional week for me.

 Sometimes the struggle of daily life is

 just too much for me. 

Besides it seems that lately I have been

too busy trying to save everyone else

that I forget about myself.

Who in the hell is going to save me

if I don't take care of me?

So here I am, tired of sleeping,

tired of being sick and tired, tired of

struggling.

Yet, I get up each day, make it to work;

I may collapse into bed when I get home,

but I made it through another day.

 

I am feisty, I am loud, and

I am a survivor.

I am a fighter.

Giving up is not an option.

Cry I will and I must.

But I will always

keep going with the hope that

the best is yet to come.

 

 Yeah, What Elizabeth Taylor Said!

Living my life is my business.

Prayers for Ft. Hood

According to Huffington Post, the Army stated that the 

shooter Ivan saw no combat while deployed to Iraq.  

They also said that he was treated by a 

psychiatrist last month for sleep issues and 

showed no signs of violent behavior or suicidal tendencies.

And This Means What?!? 

Obviously he was dealing with demons no one knew about 

and maybe he was too proud, too embarrassed to 

admit that he was not okay.

 Dammit Society! 

Educate Yourselves

The stigma placed on Mental Illness has got to end NOW!  

Violence and Suicide is never the answer. 

I just feel that this definitely could have been avoided.  

My heart goes out to everyone affected by this senseless

 tragedy, including the shooter's family.

Lastly, since this is the second tragedy that 

Ft. Hood has had to endure in just a few years, 

Please United States Military, you have got to do more

for the very people that live, die,  and 

fight for everyone's freedom.  

The third time is the charm won't work in these instances.
