anxiety
A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
How To Not Hate People.
I was on the bus yesterday, ready to murder the man standing next to me with his mask down by his chin. You’ve found yourself in something similar; consumed by anger at how stupid someone can be. You’ve followed rules your whole life and just can’t help but feel vitriol when you see someone breaking them, as though they are somehow above these rules.

The Wonderful World of Me
Oh hey, you came back, when last we spoke, we went from my childhood to me discovering what was really wrong with me and doing something about it and now we are going dive into how I deal with these issues on a day-to-day basis. Living with an issue that you have never had properly diagnosed is really hard because you know what is wrong with you but trying to explain it to people especially family can be difficult. Most of the time when I try to tell people, they assume it's an excuse because it always starts out normal but then they ask me to go out with them, and therein lies the problem, going out or even talking on the phone causes internal issues. I want to find love but don’t know how to do that with anxiety, because of the scariness of what could happen, it’s not even attempted sometimes, plus I get bored so easily that I will download a dating app only to delete it after a day or so. That is just what happens when it comes to dating and trying to explain to people what is going on with me even if they don’t believe me for most of the time.

suicide is ......................
I write this as try and process a suicide of someone I know. I have had experience of losing people I know and also being involved as part of a job. Some cases appear almost spur of the moment and some appear to be a long build up. Some are random and some have planning, like the last person I knew.

Psychological Impact of Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech-motor disorder that is still widely ridiculed in society. Decades of research have given us insight into the causes, indicators, and symptoms of stuttering, as well as techniques to lessen its severity. Despite all of this, very little research has been done on the less evident signs and repercussions of speech disfluency.

Hello to the ones choosing to read this, I know that you don’t know me or even care about what I have to say but I want to say thank you in advance for taking the time to find out a little more about me and my struggles with mental health and I hope that this helps at least one person. I want to start with my childhood and how the way I was raised affected my views and approach to mental health because I believe that the way a child is brought up will affect the way they see things. When I was growing up I had a few issues that ran the gambit from actual medical issues to more learning issues and some stuff in between. As far as the learning issues went I had a hard time concentrating in class and I would spend a lot of the time just thinking about other things and going from one thing to another, I got a lot “she daydreams a lot” and “has a hard time staying on task”. I couldn’t help it, I would try to focus on work but I would start to think about something and then I was distracted and before I realized what was going on we were on to something else.

Depression & Anxiety
I never thought I would be having anxiety until I got it back in August of 2019 due to trauma at work. Since then I've been struggling with anxiety and depression. Depression passed after being on medication for a year and then attending counseling sessions for 6 months. I still have some bad days but we all have good and bad days so I am happy about that. My anxiety increased and it didn't get better and I have all the tools, breathing techniques, meditation, exercises, stimulation, you name it I have probably tried it.

How to Understand and Handle Anxiety
Anxiety is the most common emotion everyone is familiar with. It may arise at most given scenarios in life with or without context and warning. The thing with this feeling is that it can become quite a hindrance in living a happy life if it's not properly managed by every person.

An Open Letter to the Voices in my Head
Dear Voices (in my head), We know each other for a long time but I don’t remember how we met. Did I permit you to enter my head or did you invade that land? I wanted to formally address you all. The reason is that for a while now, you guys have been creating havoc inside my head. It is not your debate hall, you can’t just start a random discussion and go on about it for hours. I need some space, that’s why I’m writing this letter to you to officially end my relationship with a few of you.

20-Year High School Reunion? Sure! I Wasn’t Ridiculed Nearly Enough the First Time
I just received an invitation to my 20-year high school reunion. My first thought was there was no way in hell that 20 years had come and gone that quickly, but then I did the math. That’s an exaggeration, I guesstimated. Math isn’t my strongest subject. Sorry, Mrs. Herbert, you tried your best.
