Monday, November 4 Good afternoon, everybody! I’m feeling much better now that Hell Week™ is over and done with. I’ve also been sleeping normally again for the past few days, so I’m hopeful things will stay that way. This week is going to be a bit busy for me, because it’s my academic planning week […]
MoreI’ve had an anxiety disorder for my entire life. I believe my anxiety is partially genetic, but additionally, environmental factors have definitely played a role in my mental health. Surprisingly, most people don’t seem to realize that there is a profound overlap between mental and physical health. I could go into a lot more detail […]
MoreWednesday, October 23 I didn’t have a chance to write yesterday, because the first half of my day was too busy, and I felt pretty disoriented for the second half. Yesterday was the day I had to give my four-minute speech, so I took an Ativan and forgoed my usual coffee. I felt pretty solid […]
MoreAs many of you who tune in regularly know, I struggle with having an anxiety disorder that manifests itself in almost every area of my life.

MoreI’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 […]
MoreI’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 […]
MoreTo 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 […]
