I’m the first to say that my mental health does not define me as a person, but that doesn’t change the fact that it actively affects all areas of my life. I’m also not ashamed of my disorders- at this point in my life, at twenty years old, I have accepted them as a part…
Read MoreWhy are We So Afraid to Let Ourselves Relax?
This article could very easily turn into an existential crisis, or, at the very least, criticism of modern corporate America, but I’ll try to keep it on the topic of psychology first and foremost before I derail into philosophy. I actually planned on writing this article months ago, but ironically, the posting schedule is lining…
Read MoreThe Relationship Between ADHD and GAD
I’ve heard a lot of people say that “ADHD isn’t real,” and actually, I think that’s a really interesting point. Coming from a person who has ADHD, I can understand that point, and agree with it to some extent. I do believe that there are different learning styles, but to label ADHD as a “learning…
Read MoreWhy Are Pop Songs So Obsessed with Sex?
Let me begin by saying this: sex is fucking great. No complaints here. But are drugs, money, and sex appeal as incredible and life-changing as the Top Billboard songs make them out to be? Nah. As I expected, I was able to find a ton of research and information about this particular topic, so I’ll…
Read MoreWhy Are Kinetic Sand Videos So Relaxing?
For my mini-series of the month April, I wanted to do something a little bit different and a little bit…incohesive. I have a list of psychology-related questions in my phone notes, and for the last few months, I’ve just been slowly adding to it with every new thought that comes to mind. And so, for…
Read More#WCW: Jean Wehner is My Hero
For my last installment of the “Women Crush Wednesday” series, I wanted to talk about a woman who I think is severely underrepresented in our society. In fact, unless you’ve seen the Netflix crime docuseries, The Keepers, you’ve probably never heard of Jean Hargadon-Wehner before. The main focus and general overview of The Keepers is…
Read MoreSelf-Care and Its Mental Benefits
Hey guys! Over the course of the past few weeks, I’ve been working via email with fellow writer, Brad Krause. Brad approached me with some fabulous tips and advice for dealing with stress, and I’m so excited to share them with you here. Along with Brad’s writing, I’ve also gone in and added my own…
Read MoreHow Being Bullied Turned Me Bitter
To be completely candid, this is a difficult article to write. I’m not putting this up on the internet to be a role model or positive example- I’m using my blog instead as a form of therapy. It isn’t my choice that I’ve been bullied, but it is my choice to decide how I handle…
Read MoreBeing Diagnosed With ADHD At 19: My Experience
If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you know that my cognitive/learning disability testing has played a huge role in 2018. The seed was actually planted for me exactly a year ago, in the January of 2018, when I was discussing with my therapist the problems I’ve faced with my attention span…
Read MorePublic School Gym Class Needs a Serious Reform, and Here’s Why
Listen, I’m the first to admit that the general high school curriculum has merit to it. Even the notoriously less-enjoyable classes like mathematics and history have worthiness to them. On top of covering course material we’re bound to find helpful in the future, these classes also give us an opportunity to experience problem-solving, critical thinking,…
