Poor Meow Mix had 14 teeth pulled. She&#8217;s a Maine Coon, and her breed has a tendency towards a genetic oddity where her immune system will start to reabsorb her teeth.

And perhaps I\u2019ll go into everything in a separate post, but for now I\u2019ll just highlight. Given the poor economy and the hit oil-rich Alberta is taking, life has been stressful, needless to say. And all that stress brought to the surface a condition that runs in my family: depression.<\/p>\n<p>I was diagnosed with secondary insomnia brought on by generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. On the surface, you may think anxiety is the opposite of depression, but they are in fact closely related. Both are the result of low feel-good enzymes in the brain called serotonin. In some, abnormal serotonin results in depression, in some like me, the serotonin imbalance equates to troubles making decisions on how to deal with the simplest things. To put it perspective, my anxiety got so bad I\u00a0 was having panic attacks when the meeting reminder popped up on my compute,r and I could no longer drive a car.<\/p>\n<p>I joke about it openly with friends \u2013 I say \u201cI always thought I was crazy\u201d but this is in fact a serious issue if left untreated. I was on the road to ulcers (I already had terrible stomach pains and had troubles eating), I clenched my teeth all the time which resulted in fracturing a few teeth, and there were a couple times I had to pull my car of the road because I just couldn\u2019t breathe. I knew something was wrong but I just didn\u2019t know what. I did know depression ran in my family, but I thought \u201cI\u2019m not depressed \u2013 I don\u2019t feel down or hopeless, I don\u2019t feel like the world has given up on me. I just can\u2019t sleep because I\u2019m worrying about stupid little things, and I can\u2019t get through the day without panicking over something.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/crazy_kitty.gif?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-302\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"302\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/sometimes-life-gets-in-the-way\/crazy_kitty\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/crazy_kitty.gif?fit=500%2C367&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,367\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"crazy_kitty\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/crazy_kitty.gif?fit=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/crazy_kitty.gif?fit=500%2C367&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-302\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/crazy_kitty.gif?resize=300%2C220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"crazy_kitty\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So without going into too much details in this post, I\u2019ll end the personal update there for now. I\u2019m getting back into the swing of things and writing again. The Rose Cross Academy Book 2 \u2013 <em>Grimms and Garms<\/em>, is a hair\u2019s breath away from a completed draft of which I can send off to my editor. The draft is over 100,000 words, yikes! <em>Risers and Dreamers<\/em> just eeked over the finish line with 83,000 words. To add to that I\u2019ve been thinking up a couple other stories and writing bits and pieces of those, as well as dusting off some previous work\u2019s I\u2019ve written. I have my NaNoWriMo 2015 project \u2013 a collection of short stories in the horror genre \u2013 which I\u2019d like to put up on Wattpad or someplace so others can read them. The stories need some serious TLC before they\u2019re publicly consumable.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_303\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hero3.gif?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-303\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-303\" data-attachment-id=\"303\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/sometimes-life-gets-in-the-way\/hero3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hero3.gif?fit=320%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"320,200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hero3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hero3.gif?fit=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hero3.gif?fit=320%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-303 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hero3.gif?resize=300%2C188&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"hero3\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me vs. Book<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m slowly trying to get back into the swing of things.
