I could have ... http://unfilteredinsanity.com/2011/12/figuring-it-out/ So last week: My hormones were kind of insane. I was feeling all kinds of depressed. I was feeling unheard. Unloved.

I needed to just talk about the things that ... http://unfilteredinsanity.com/2011/11/the-power-of-venting/ We're talking about real depression here.

In my last post, I came out as queer.  I still hold to that.  However, it's ... http://unfilteredinsanity.com/2011/07/labels/ Imagine what it's like for me... I'm a woman who likes women and married to (and attracted to and love) a man.  My mind is full of questions and feelings I don't even know how to answer for myself, let alone anyone else.  So I explain, "Well, I'm queer."  This answer, ... http://unfilteredinsanity.com/2011/06/if-you-think-its-confusing/ I've had this blog going on and off (well, more off than on) for over two years.  I've changed in the past two years beyond anything that I ever thought was possible, and it's time that this piece of me changes as well.  I won't be sharing the same types ... http://unfilteredinsanity.com/2011/06/a-fresh-start/
