Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. Choosing the wrong path. Bull;January 27, 2015 • 2 Comments. Have you ever felt like you’ve chosen the wrong path in life? I’m at a point now that I’m questioning everything even God. A few years ago I decided to try and be more positive to try and view myself in a more positive light. Those that know me know that I’ve never had a positive view of myself. I began to actively change that with the help of my great best friends.

Ramblings… | Running From The Nothing

https://runningfromthenothing.wordpress.com/2015/02/02/ramblings

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. I have been toying around with a few blog ideas for the past couple of days and I just can’t figure out the best way to write any of them. So I’m going to ramble. I am not a porcelain doll! I’ve been trying to overcome this funk I’m in but this one seems harder than the others. Yes the others. Something most people don’t know is that I’ve dealt with depression ALL MY LIFE! Those are my ramblings. By Beth on February 2, 2015.

Conversations with the boy | Running From The Nothing

https://runningfromthenothing.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/conversations-with-the-boy

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. Conversations with the boy. I love this rock head child of mine even when he gives me such grief! Today I got a text from him that said Call me. Why do people do that? Why do people text you and ask you to call them? In the time it took to type that text you could have called yourself. So, being the mother that I am I got very nervous. Y’all know I’m already not right in my head right now. Him: Mom, I have to tell you something.

The finality of a funeral | Running From The Nothing

https://runningfromthenothing.wordpress.com/2015/05/04/the-finality-of-a-funeral

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. The finality of a funeral. So a couple of weeks ago was the funeral of my friend . I agonized about going for days. I was so worked up that my sister told me not to go. I wish I would have listened to her. I finally made it to Chicago after drama with the rental car place that forced me to drive my own car which I wasn’t sure was ready for such a long trip. But my car is a G! The night before I was a ball of nerves! After the se...

Somebody Else | Running From The Nothing

https://runningfromthenothing.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/somebody-else

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. I remember when this CD came out and I heard this song. I immediately put it on repeat. Every single word spoke to me. And 2 years later they still do. For the past few years I’ve fantasized about leaving everything behind, changing my name, my location and starting my life over. Like the chorus says “If I’m somebody else it never happened to me”. I know that sounds foolish but I give this serious thought just about everyday.

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. 8220;Authentic love does not silence, shame or abuse”. Last night The Grammys were on. And like many folks I watched and made jokes on twitter. It’s a social media thing. But at 9 pm EST I turned off the Grammys to watch the midseason return of The Walking Dead. This morning I got up and started reading online about the performances I missed. One imparticular Katy Perry and Brooke Axtell, Brooke is a domestic violence survivor.

I’ve been talking more… | Running From The Nothing

https://runningfromthenothing.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/ive-been-talking-more

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. I’ve been talking more…. About depression. Well my depression. And honestly, that has helped a great deal. Just being honest with myself and my family and close friends. I have been for years off and on. As I said in an earlier post I’ve been battling depression since I was a child. Prior to his bullshit I was dealing with anxiety like I’ve never dealt with before. I was scared I was for real going crazy! I think it is important...

Ramblings | Running From The Nothing

https://runningfromthenothing.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/ramblings-2

Running From The Nothing. The random musings of a not so angry black female. I have to go to the doctor every 3 months because of the prozac that I’m on. My son is becoming more and more worried about my frequent doctor visits. I keep telling him I’m ok which isn’t exactly a lie but it isn’t exactly the truth. But should I tell him his mom is suffering from depression? Should I tell him the super woman is not so super? I’m struggling with that right now. I’m still trying to process this. I’ve never reall...
