About

Welcome! I’m Rita and I have been blogging for a number of years. This is actually my third blog. One I wasn’t sure I wanted to even write but I knew I needed to write about my own mental illness. If I could touch and help just one person with the things I go through then I will call this blog a success.

One of the biggest questions I have had so far is why am I not showing my face here. Honestly because, for me, it is easier to share some of the uglier stories of my struggle. It gives me a freedom that having people look at me I wouldn’t have. I’m not ashamed of my struggles it’s just I’ve been ridiculed in the past.

Anxiety is when you care too much about everything. Depression is when you don’t care enough about anything. Having both is just like hell.

I have mental illness and while I do alright most days there are days when it all falls apart. Add in my struggles with both my faith and my fitness and you have a hot mess. That is one of the biggest reasons I created God, Fitness and Mental Illness. Here I will be as real and honest as possible. You won’t get that smiling, everything is fine and full of sunshine facade that I put on most of the time.

If you have followed me on my other blogs you may now be wondering if they are fake since I just said I put on a smiling facade. They aren’t but I will admit there are times I am super cheery over there when I don’t feel that way. It’s just part of writing. Everything I share there is the real me, but here you get the raw me.

Posted @withregram • @novenacards Do you have a Posted @withregram • @novenacards Do you have a special intention you want to ask the intercession of St Joseph for? The 30 day Novena to St. Joseph starts in a week! Here is some info about the novena. The novena is 30 days in length to honor the 30 years that tradition says St Joseph was alive (it is said that he died before Jesus started his public ministry). 

In his role as guardian of the Holy Family, he is typically asked to intercede for fathers, expectant mothers, marriages and adoption, and also for help buying/selling a home, finding a job, and a happy death. However, in his role as patron of the Universal Church, his intercession for ALL of our requests has been recommended by many of the great saints. 

As St. Teresa of Avila said, "Our Lord would have us understand that as He was subject to St. Joseph on earth - for St. Joseph bearing the title of father and being His guardian, could command Him - so now in Heaven Our Lord grants us all his petitions.”

Tomorrow we will be launching a 30 day St Joseph Novena Checklist and a Prayer Card with the 30 day Novena Prayer to St. Joseph. Stay tuned! 

St Joseph, pray for us!
One of the key triggers to emotional eating is my One of the key triggers to emotional eating is my daily stress. Stress that comes a variety of factors, including some of which I never consider. Anytime I have and notice an increased amount of stress, I notice that the amount of my emotional eating moments increase. When I notice all of that I do attempt to work harder on reducing the core cause of the stressors in my life. I thought I would share three of the tips that I use to locate the source of my daily stress, reducing that stress at the core, and in turn reducing the amount of emotional eating responses I am having.

2020 was the year that tested every faith in the w 2020 was the year that tested every faith in the world. I would love to say I came out of it with my faith in tack. I actually had a huge crisis of faith just before Christmas. No, that's not true it felt like it was coming for a while. Christmas is my favorite season but, for whatever reason, I couldn't get into it. I didn't want to celebrate. Things weren't going well.
