Dissociation or Depersonalization

Hi All, For all of you who live with Anxiety, Depression or any other form of Mental Illness, have any of you gone through Dissociation or Depersonalization? I was pretty sure that I have gone through it before, but what happened to me tonight, makes me think otherwise. As I was eating dinner with my…

7 Cups of Tea

Today, being that my anxiety has been really bad, I decided to look up organizations and websites that can help connect with with others going through the same things as me, as well as professionals. You can chat with volunteers, chat with others going through the same issues as yourself, and you can sign up…

Exam Anxiety

Guys!!! I'm down to 2  final exams for this week and I am so anxious to take them. So anxious that I have been procrastinating with studying for them. That ever happen to any of you? You become so nervous about doing something, that you disregard anything that has to do with it, until that…

Update: Getting Back into the Workforce

Hi guys! I know it's been a while, but I did say I would give you all an update regarding an interview I had at my sister's job. Well after I received the phone call asking me to contact them to set up a date to go in and test, I gave myself an hour…

I Survived My First Florida Hurricane

Hi all! As many of you may know, last week, hurricane Irma touched down in Florida and wrecked havoc! Mostly in Miami and the Florida Keys. But as the days approached for Irma to hit Florida, I was nervous and on edge. I've been living in Fl with my family for 3 months now, and…

Should We be Accepting of our Emotions?

So many times during my bouts of anxiety, which is often, I know that there is no reason to be worried or thinking about what I am. However, It is so difficult to stop the thoughts and emotions on the spot. It can be incredibly frustrating because many times I understand the irrationality of my…

Kudos to Kristen Bell

This video literally brought tears to my eyes. It was as if she looked within me and said everything I’ve been feeling.

Tiny Acts of Self Care

Major kudos to Kristen Bell for this amazing interview to The Off Camera Show! I am so pleased that more and more celebrities are opening up about their struggles with mental health problems and explaining that there is absolutely no shame in taking medication.

It’s awesome that Kristen’s mum sat her down and talked to her about mental health and what to do if she ever felt that way- it’s definitely a talk I’ll be having with my kids (or cats).

What is Happiness?

The reason it can be difficult to feel completely happy throughout our days, is because it's difficult to accept ourselves, flaws and all. I know for me, I'm very critical of myself and when my anxiety takes over, I think about 101 reasons why a person may not like me or 101 things I have…
