Articles like these can feel challenging and complicated to write, because, as a healthcare worker in the acute psychotic field, I am expected to leave my emotions at the door and not let the things I experience “get to” me. To work in this field, you have to be this way. Nurses and healthcare workers […]
MoreAs I’m sure many of you can agree, 2020-present has seriously been a force to be reckoned with. Especially for other folks in their twenties who are just barely emerging into adulthood, it can feel so unbearable at times to balance work, school, my social life, my chores and adult commitments, and then have time […]
MoreThe short answer: I just literally don’t feel bothered by anything anymore. The long answer: This was a question I usually asked myself in high school and even my undergrad years. As a young person, I always felt like everyone else around me was tuned into this giant secret of the universe; everyone else was […]
MoreIf you had told me even a year ago that I would be working in a mental hospital, I probably would not have believed you. Even in the modern age, mental health remains a very stigmatized issue, and it’s true that mental hospitals can sometimes be very scary places. However, psychiatric care facilities (the proper […]

I […]
MoreAs I go back and read my old blog posts, particularly the entries in the fall and winter of 2019, I am reminded of the person I used to be before quarantine, Zoom meetings, financial hardship, and burnout. My problems were certainly valid in my undergrad years, but I do wonder how Old Me would […]
MoreMonday, March 1 Oh my goodness, it’s March already. Honestly, I’m relieved. Is it just me, or does February feel like a filler month? I can’t think of a single person who had a good February. I know I’ve been a bit slow on getting things up on my site, and that’s because I was […]
MoreSunday, January 17 Hey folks! How are we doing today? I’m doing much better than I have in past weeks, hence why there hasn’t been a newsletter since now.
