Flying the Coop

Another chapter, a new adventure…

  • Psych2Go

    Psych2Go is a YouTube channel that explains and explores the human mind with a focus on mental health. Topics from introverts to depression to autism to therapy… their content is high quality, fun, and quite helpful to better understanding others and ourselves. Today I watched their “high functioning depression” explainer and it really got me […]


  • I’m sad.

    I’m sad tonight. I’m feeling sad, frustrated, disappointed, and probably a few other emotions. This will have to do for today’s post. I did have a full post thought out, but it’ll take more energy than I have right now. Today’s been a good day, though! ^_^ Hopefully you’ve had a good day as well. […]


  • Look up.

    Look up. Look up and see. There’s something missing. Something is gone. But look up. Look up anyway. It’s not there. But something else is. Don’t look down. Look up. You’re gonna miss it. There’s something new. Lift your head. You need to look. You miss what was there. But you’ll miss everything. So look […]


  • False start.

    Isn’t just so frustrating when you start something with such drive and passion only to be knocked back by some outside force? The past several weeks I’ve felt this effect. My body gets all sick and my mind is all depressed, I do my best to manage it all and work towards improving my situation […]


  • Ugh…

    I picked up Rebeckah a little bit ago and the car was acting weird… weirdly… oddly… not normal… something like that. The engine kept dying when I stopped or slowed down to a crawl. It’s so weird because it was working perfectly fine (finely?) last night when I drove it down the street. At least, I […]


  • Am I being lazy?

    Am I just being lazy? Short answer: yes and no. Well thanks, Matthew! That really clears it up. I don’t even know what you’re talking about and you’ve given me both possible answers as the tldr; answer. Yay! Sometimes I feel like I’m just being lazy and using my Crohn’s, depression, or anxiety as a […]


  • It’s happening… again.

    Stomach pain! My stomach is hurting again. What does this mean? Well, I’ll tell you what it doesn’t mean; it doesn’t mean everything’s honky Dory, I’ll tell you that much for shizzle. Note to self: Lookup “honky Dory”. Did I even use that term correctly? Hopefully it’s only minor, but I have this gut feeling […]


  • I’m a pendulum.

    I’m a pendulum. And not in the fun way. Note to self: Find out what the fun way is. I keep going back and forth between okay and not okay, it’s getting really irritating. I can’t deal with things, but I have to. I’m really trying, but I… I just can’t. Being sick all the […]


  • Another write off.

    This is gonna be one of those lame posts I make when I’m either too busy or too depressed to write something more thoughtful. Wanna guess which reason it is this time? Yeah, I’m kinda back to feeling depressed. I should do something about that. Well, I have been trying, but that doesn’t mean it’s […]


  • Let’s do a check-in.

    I set some goals at the beginning of the month for myself. Besides those four goals, I had some other big “to do” items, some of which I have completed! Others still need doing. But we’re here to check in on the four main goals for October. Let’s jump in! 1. Exercise and eat more […]


  • It’s over.

    Soooo… I’ve dumped PayPal officially. We’re over. I’ve changed my status and everything. PayPal hasn’t stepped up at all, but now that they’re unable to mess with finances again, I kinda don’t care. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. (Well… yeah, let’s just go with that, Matthew.) There are a few loose ends to tie […]


  • The purpose of a giant fibreglass hand.

    The purpose of a giant fibreglass hand.

    Community. One of my all-time favourite television shows! In the sixth season there’s an episode that stands out to me. That whole season is fantastic, but in the sixth episode the Save Greendale Committee is transporting a giant fibreglass hand to sell after the dean bought it on an impulse. Their vehicle breaks down along […]


  • Today was the best.

    The past several weeks have been quite difficult for me, but with that difficulty have come some amazing and uplifting moments. Today I got a heaping dose of good energy, positivity, and new connections. I stumbled upon an Instagram account earlier this summer for the Invisible Conditions Conference which was focusing on IBD. Today I […]


  • From zero to one hundred.

    I’ve been doing stuff all week, even if it has mostly consisted of calming down and working to relax my mind and body. For the most part, that was effective and I’m feeling much better now. Good thing that’s the case because starting with tonight things are getting a little crazy for me over the […]


  • What’s on my mind?

    What’s on my mind? Glad that you asked! Well, I’m not really glad that you asked…I’m more, “eh. I can’t really think of anything else to talk about, so might as well share what’s going through my mind right now.” Although, come to think of it, you didn’t really ask me anything. I posed the […]


  • Who am I?

    I have a question. Who am I? Who are we? There’s many ways that this could be taken, there’s the physical aspect to myself with my body being composed of cells and whatnot. We could also go into the whole “you are the sum of your experiences” thought train. What I’m interested in, though, is […]


  • It’s a little frustrating.

    Just a couple of quick things. I had to park my car down the street a ways because the construction crew working in the alley will be blocking access to the driveway during the daytime for the rest of the week. I don’t think I’ll need to use the car, but just in case I […]


  • Time off.

    I’m basically taking time off from writing proper blog posts this week. Hope you’re having a happy Thanksgiving! M3


  • Le blog post.

    This is my minimum requirement for a daily blog. Please check back again soon! Be kind! M3


  • Today was a bad day…

    Today was not a good day. It ended well with Thanksgiving dinner at the nerd cafe though, which is good. But everything before that was horrible. Basically my body and my mind aren’t doing well and it’s negatively affecting my daily life. Today it got really, really bad. Now I’m going to sleep. M3
