About Anxiety

Those who were institutionalized, those who were different than me.  Looking back, I should have recognized that I would eventually be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.  My mom’s side of the family are what I used to categorize as ...

Thanks for visiting my blog, which is a work in progress. I'm a (cool) mom & wife with a full time job, trying to balance it all. My interests include Pinot Grigio, Netflix, blogging, fashion, the treadmill & reading celeb gossip when I am not busy packing lunches & wiping butts. Cheers!
