The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

First, here is a little heads up:
MY BLOG IS NOT KID FRIENDLY. There will be cursing and”violence” if you want to so call it that.
MY BLOG WILL BE BLUNT.
MY BLOG WILL USE OFF COLOR TERMS. i.e nuts, crazy, warped.

HI!

I’m Echo. No that’s not my real name, but it’s my story name. How did I get it? It’s my favorite gaming character on COP Black Ops4. And it is a unique Wiccan name by origin. No, I am not Wiccan but fascinated by it and all things mystical. Crystals, spells, candles, sage (smudging), and so forth. Desmond, another Wiccan name meaning “knowledgeable man” is the antagonist in my stories. Desmond seemed an appropriate name for my antagonist because in reality he’s very knowledgable and wise. And Desmond may be a witch in real life. Seeing as how his family has a history of members claiming to be. Triton and Thalia are our calico cats. Thalia is older, she came from the first liter and Triton came a few months later in the next liter. They’re our Sister-Kittys.

Desmond and I first met almost 20 years ago. In the youth of our lives. Then we went separate ways, marrying and having children. When those worlds fell apart we ran into each other again. I brought with me my own baggage of anxiety, depression and bipolar.

Des brought his baggage too. I think his is greater. Anxiety, depression, bipolar and the most difficult of all, his C-PTSD.

Let me interject here. He does not have PTSD. PTSD is typically combat related. Military, wars, etc. C-PTSD is non-combat post-traumatic stress disorder. Things such as car wrecks, deaths, childhood trauma, abuse, rape, neglect, etc.

You will take my journey through living with two people with mental illness.

Along with the daily struggles of dealing with life, you will experience our own personal fights, nightmares, hate, love, tears, and laughter and our dreams.

LETS GO !
