I have typed the question, “do I have social anxiety?” into my Google search bar countless times since the start of my journey with chronic pain at 21. Even before then, I dealt with anxiety for years. I often wonder where the dynamic, encompassing ripple effect of chronic illness ends and my anxiety disorder begins.

Self-advocacy is essential, vital, crucial, and life-or-death to the disability experience. We have no choice but to advocate for ourselves in all spheres of our lives – be it healthcare, school, work, or the community. And while self-advocacy is so crucial, and every organization has put out resources on it at least once – it is still. so. hard. to. do. And the concept still feels so out of reach to so many people. So – why is self-advocacy so hard? Why does it feel like we’re always talking about self-advocacy but not actually doing it? Let’s figure it out together.

I was born into a Roman Catholic family. We went to mass on religious holidays, had weddings and funerals officiated by priests, and prayed before meals at family gatherings. Like most of the other kids I knew, I was baptized, attended Catholic school from K-12, and celebrated my First Holy Communion, Confirmation, and Confession. I read the Bible, completed the mandatory Religious Studies in each grade, and memorized the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary. In my child’s mind, God was a mysterious and powerful figure who watched over me (which was simultaneously comforting and frightening), Heaven was an ethereal idea of the wonderful place waiting for me when I die, and Hell was the terrifying end I would experience if I had been a bad person.

There’s a cure for my migraines, but my insurance company won’t let me have it.

studies:It is worth noting that there are no loopholes to these facts. You can’t game all weekend and then avoid games all week so you get six days of good sleep. It doesn’t work that way! The average daily time, calculated from a week of activity, is what matters.

What goes wrong when goal setting? You’re 42% more likely to achieve your goals by writing them down. (Dominican University Research)… but I’m sure most of you have realized writing down your goals doesn’t equal accomplishing them. The first step in accomplishing your goals is identifying what prevents you from achieving them.  For context, I helped over 170 people set goals last month, and when I see people struggle it typically ties back to these 3 reasons. Avoid These 3 Mistakes When Goal Setting: For example, a lot of Moms have a goal that sounds like, “I want time for myself.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great goal but how will you know you achieved it? Is 10 extra seconds to yourself a success? To make it more specific it should sound something like…“I want 30 minutes for myself at 8 am M-F starting June 1st, 2022, or I want one hour for myself at 7 pm M-F starting June 1st, 2022.”“If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.” – Lou HoltzI have definitely fallen into this bucket too many times to admit. I had to learn the hard way that setting massive goals can become extremely stressful.

I want to cover an issue that was born from illicit drugs, but has found a scapegoat in chronic, intractable pain patients. Patients stable in palliative care suddenly become the boss of a drug cartel. New limits on prescription access affecting arguably the sickest citizens among us. This is a unique problem affecting a fraction of those with incurable disorders, but make no mistake, it continues to cost lives. We need doctors making choices for patients, not legislators looking for the quick fix and a fast track to winning the next election.

Someone recently told me, “You deserve to have an extraordinary life if you want one.” Five years ago I would have replied, “Of course, I want one, who wouldn’t?”

For some of us, it was just a phase. For others, it 100% wasn’t and it’s 10 years later and we’re still living out our favorite pop punk dreams, only now we’re the ones who are 26 and all the people we graduated with all have kids and wives and people who care if they come home at night… get the reference? Any The Wonder Years fans here? Maybe?

You probably know someone who has undergone a cesarean section, whether it was elective, emergency, or circumstantial. This major surgery is more common than many realize; in fact, according to the World Health Organization, the rate of C-sections keeps rising, with 1 in 5 childbirths resulting in one. This statistic actually both shocked and underwhelmed me, as I continue to recover from my own C-section. On the one hand, I was shocked at the high rate (that’s 20%!). On the other hand, I’ve since connected with so many women who also had a C-section (or multiple ones), and I quickly realized that they aren’t that rare at all.

My family was fortunate enough to go to Walt Disney World (WDW) multiple times throughout my childhood, and when I was old enough to drive myself, that’s exactly what I did. Going to the parks and enjoying myself used to be easy and accessible, but lately due to changes implemented from the company it no longer feels that way. In fact, now it’s just inaccessible, confusing, and more expensive than ever to “come home,” or whatever phrase they use to make you feel good about stepping through those gates.

Navigating social media can be a bit tricky when you have any mental health conditions. For starters, there are studies linking social media use to mental health issues. This can be due to a number of factors such as FOMO (fear of missing out), comparing yourself to others, and feelings of isolation. In addition, as more influencers and creators are talking about mental health, there’s been an increase in misinformation. Social media can be triggering for some; constantly being inundated with tragic headlines or trying to dodge trolls can take a toll on our mental health. It’s important to use discretion when on social media, unfollow accounts that make us feel worse, and limit our time or take breaks.

The horror movie “Fresh” pretty much epitomizes how terrifying modern dating is. Without giving any spoilers about the rest of the movie, “Fresh” starts out with Noa, the main character, going on a Tinder date. After the guy criticizes the way she dresses and yanks the leftovers she paid for, he asks if they can do this again sometime, and she responds, “I don’t think we’re really a match.” He shoots back: “I was literally just being polite. You’re not even my type. Good luck finding a guy, you stuck-up b*tch.”

The Little Mermaid by the Mortensen Elementary School drama club in Littleton, Colorado, were fabulous. I know this because my dear wife and I traveled from our Salt Lake home to witness the presentations on Thursday and Friday evening. Of course, I’m not prejudiced because our ten-year-old granddaughter played the lead role of Ariel.

From our earliest experiences, parents, teachers, and religious leaders teach us to apologize. They claim it is integral to the proper functioning of society.
