Happy Mid-September! Nothing like some nice cool fall weather during a mental breakdown, am I right? Adjusting to home-life again has been anything but easy. Last weekend was the first weekend since being “home” that I actually spent at home, which was much needed after my slight psychotic break a few days prior. Not really…
