🌿 The Story of AnnPurdy.com
“Where life’s chaos becomes something honest, helpful, and beautifully human.”
My name is Ann Purdy, and my life has never been a straight line.
It has loops, sharp turns, quiet valleys, and days that feel like I’m holding onto the caboose of a runaway train. I’ve lived through the complexities of bipolar disorder, the heartbreak of losing a child, the frustrations of managing daily life, and the strange comfort that comes from simply admitting, “This is a lot.”
Over time, I realized something:
My life wasn’t falling apart—it was forming a pattern.
A rhythm.
A story worth sharing.
Because for every moment of overwhelm, there was also creativity.
For every struggle, a new system or tool that made things a little lighter.
For every chaotic day, at least one spark of humor.
And so AnnPurdy.com was born—not as a perfect brand, but as a home base for all the things that make my world what it is.
🔵 Bipolar Life
This is where the truth lives.
The honest parts, the emotional parts, the parts people are often afraid to say out loud. I share my story so others feel less alone in theirs. Mental health isn’t a footnote—it’s the foundation of how I move through the world.
🔴 Chaos Caboose
And then there’s the part of my life that is simply… chaos.
The ridiculous moments.
The messy days.
The stories that make you laugh because they’re so painfully relatable.
Chaos Caboose reminds us that not everything needs fixing; some things just need to be shared with humor and grace.
🟢 PlannerAP
Living with mental health challenges means traditional planning systems don’t always fit. So I built tools that do fit—planners, routines, tracking systems, and gentle structure for complicated days.
PlannerAP is where practicality meets compassion.
It’s planning designed for real brains, real moods, real life.
🟡 Planner-Ap
ILife shouldn’t be all work and coping.
There must be room for play, curiosity, and learning.
Planner-Ap is the creative branch of my world: games, educational tools, printable activities, and anything that makes the mind spark. It’s learning that feels like exploration, not obligation.
🌟 Why All of This Lives Under One Roof
Because none of these pieces exist alone in my real life.
My mental health influences how I plan.
My planning gives me space for creativity.
My creativity brings humor to the chaos.
And the chaos keeps me honest.
AnnPurdy.com is the hub that holds all of it—
the struggles, the systems, the learning, the laughter.
It’s a place for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, overcommitted, overscheduled… or simply overcome by life’s unpredictability.
It’s a reminder that:
✨ We don’t have to pretend everything is perfect to make something beautiful from it.
✨ We can move through the chaos together—one honest, creative, imperfect step at a time.
