LIFE : Dealing with my anxiety.


      I have tried to figure out how to write an entry on my anxiety issues for months now, and I've even written a couple entries, but they were so jumpy that it didn't make sense.  I realized that actually writing about it while actively fighting it would probably make it the easiest.  That actually sounds like torture when I think about it, because while I'm fighting an anxiety attack my brain is firing off in rapid spurts of different things. 

     I've suffered from anxiety issues since I was probably about 14.  Probably even earlier if my fits of crying when I was in elementary school qualified as anxiety/panic issues. I would write a paper in pencil and would mess up on the very last word on the back of the page, and I would have to start completely over because I just knew my teacher would be able to tell I had made a mistake and would think less of me, or something.  I'm serious, I would have an absolute melt down and freak out over it.

REVIEW : Diamond Candles

     Review time!  Just what are we taking a look at this time, Skeddio?  I'm glad you asked!  I just recently went a little crazy having noticed that Diamond Candles was having a sale of 45% off any candle they sell, and well, I ended up spending almost eighty dollars on candles.  Oops?  I've purchased these candles in the past, and they are made with wonderful quality, and well worth the twenty-five to twenty-eight dollar price tag.

    Now you might be cringing over the price, but let me explain the cost!  They're made with soy wax, and you get hours of use out of them.  The bonus?  Each candle contains a ring.  When I first purchased the rings, the candles themselves contained a ring that could be just a simple costume jewelry ring worth $10, but a few contained rings worth anywhere from a hundred to five thousand dollars.  Now, out of the candles I've had, I've only found the cheap end of the rings, but with the exception of two of the rings, they've all been really pretty. 

4 of 5 rings that I've gotten from the candles.  Top two are not exactly lovely.
