Why I Love The Vox Concert Series

I've been thinking about what to blog about for awhile. And then it hit me. I should talk about the thing that has been keeping me going, especially this past week as I have been grieving the loss of my grandma. What has saved me? Music, and my friends at the Vox Concert Series.

What is the Vox Concert Series? According to their websiteVox Concert Series is Marshfield, Wisconsin’s premier entertainment venue, offering national and regionally touring acts in an intimate setting. Our goal is to provide a quality, exceptional concert experience to every guest who enters our door as well as every act which graces our stage. We’re keenly focused on becoming one of the best listening rooms in the United States. 


If you click on the link to the website you can find other FAQ about what Vox is. Because it is getting off focus of what I wanted to write about.


I want to write about the other side of Vox. The fun and joy I receive from volunteering.

Our small group of volunteers has become a close knit family to me. Yes, we work hard, but we also know how to have fun.

I've also met some crazy-amazing musicians and made friends with the people that keep coming to Vox.


Honestly, I love it. I love what I do. I love how it makes me feel like a "normal" person, the sense of accomplishment and pride it gives me. I honestly wouldn't trade the experiences I've had and the future experiences I will have for anything.


And did I mention the musicians and the amazing meet and greet experiences, the patron's and volunteers get to experience. I've honestly never seen anything like it. It is so cool.


If you are in the Central Wisconsin area or ever will come this way, I say check it out. List of events should be found here.  And if you have any questions you can always contact Brian Sauer on facebook.

And now I am going to leave you with a few pictures of the fun I have had and will continue to have.

Psych appointment

So, I went to my medication doctor. Because of my PTSD and anxiety, we increased a med. And I know I can't blame this on my rpaist. Because it's MY decision, but if he hadn't hurt me I wouldn't be finding stupid ways to numb the pain. Not only am I depressed and have PTSD,  my anorexia has returned to help me turn off this... I don't even know. And have some control over my life... But who's controlling who? Even though I know I need to eat and get better, my mind is fighting it. Saying how am I going to deal with the crap when I can't numb it. I'm just tired. Does anyone want to take my hand and help me through this?  My best friend just walked out on me and I just need a friend. Someone to talk to, to laugh and just numb some of this crap. And she said the difference between wanting to lose a little weight and it being unhealthy (anorexia) is WHY I'm doing it.  And she wants me to go to my therapists' next group meetings o...

Re-traumatized.

So, as I briefly mentioned in a post yesterday, I had an unexpected Pap smear appointment come up. I started to get REALLY anxious as I waited for the appointment. I have a hard time being touched down there by my fiancĂ©. Let alone some stranger I never met. She was very professional, definitely. But, it was very awkward. I mean it's awkward for non survivors. I didn't really have flashbacks, but it triggered intense anxiety. I'm okay today, still... I don't even know the word.  Since I obviously am going to have to have them done again for health reasons,  I need to find away to approach this.  I wonder if it will go better if the doctor knows I was abused, if it would make a difference. I hate these feeling. Will it ever go away?  Katie

We matter too!

You know what really ticks me off?  When society only bothers to talk about mental illness and how important it is to talk about is when someone famous is brought to the world's attention. What about the rest of us? Don't we matter? Well, I guess I will have to be our voice.  Yes, you sitting at home because you have no where else to go, Yes, you the tired mom at home trying to manage everything AND get outta bed. Yes, you the one at your job with you smile on your face and no one knows how each day is a struggle to get up. You all matter!  I'm one of the ones that used to sit at home without anything to live for. Lived a good part of my part living in and out of hospitals. Periods of me not taking my meds. Yes, my name is Katie and I have Borderline Personality Disorder. What it is:  Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships  characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization a...
