I have prided myself for some time on being cheery. On being the sounding board for people who struggle, but never being a struggler myself.

Then I had a baby. I was astonished to find myself struggling. I was immensely naïve. I was so sure that because I was so desperate to become a mum that I would be fine.

What a numpty! I found myself depressed, drowning in my guilt. Not recognising myself. Not knowing how to ‘rebrand’ myself as No Longer Cheery.

How My Many Surgeries Have Prepared Me for the COVID-19 Pandemic
When you have some of the diseases I have, you will undoubtedly go through a number of surgeries. It just goes with the territory. It is what it is. C’est la vie. One silver lining in this, however, is that the lessons I’ve learned in the time surrounding surgery (and believe me, you have quite a lot of free time to ponder the intricacies of life while recuperating) may be applied to other aspects of life.

The First Time I Saw Myself On Screen as a Woman With Bipolar Disorder
Mental health as subject matter has clawed its way onto script pages and silver screens in recent years. But accurate portrayals of mental illness are still few and far between. The struggles of addiction have been seen in recent movies such as “Beautiful Boy” and TV series like “Euphoria.” In terms of visibility, anxiety and depression have been pushed into world consciousness through raw social media discussions and overall mental health awareness campaigns. And yet, as a 25-year-old woman with bipolar disorder, I didn’t see myself reflected in these conversations or on these screens. Until “Modern Love.”

How to Practice Gratitude During Difficult Times
Call me crazy, but I’ve always tried my best to feel grateful for tough times. Every job interview that didn’t pan out and every relationship that ended opened up the opportunity for bigger and better things. However, there are some times where it feels selfish, wrong, or impossible to look for a “silver lining.” Sometimes you can’t find the lesson to be learned, and gratitude journaling prompts just feel like bullsh*t. But the truth is that gratitude is not frivolous or naive; it’s a coping strategy.

How to Stay Motivated During Your Ph.D.
Once so driven and full of energy, during the second or third year of getting your Ph.D. many face a total lack of motivation and, we even dare to say, an emotional burnout. It seems like everything you do is worthless. You haven’t received the expected results, and the whole idea reached a dead end.

Immediate Action Needed to Prevent Male Suicides During COVID-19 Crisis
In this stressful period, unprecedented in our lifetime, it’s critical that the public be made aware of free helpful mental health resources. The last economic crisis in 2008- 2009 saw a significant increase in male suicides*, setting a frightening precedent that has clear implications for our current situation. We have before us a chance to possibly mitigate men’s suicide risk by acting early and letting people know that helpful resources are out there.

Getting Mental Health Support During COVID-19
At the time of writing, we’re only nine weeks into social distancing measures but are already feeling the impacts of COVID-19 on our mental health. At the end of April, a study was released reporting that over half of Canadians are experiencing worse mental health. In the same study, as many respondents reported being “bored” and “depressed”, as did feeling “grateful” and “optimistic”. Other studies (e.g., in the UK) have come out with similar statistics, demonstrating that COVID-19 is having a direct impact on mental health worldwide.

4 Tips for Distance Learning With Multiple Children During COVID-19
Distance learning is often tedious. Between the emails, Zoom meetings, various portals teachers utilize, and workloads from each class, juggling at-home learning during this new “virtual school day” can be a tall order. Even more difficult, though, is this juggling act when there is more than one school-aged child in the home. How can parents possibly manage distance learning for two or more kids? Obviously, this is new territory for everyone. To ease the stress and confusion, I’ve compiled suggestions and strategies to assist families who are learning at home with multiple school-aged children.

What It's Like Campaigning During COVID-19 as a School Board Candidate With a Disability
Early in March, I had every intention of writing about my experiences campaigning with a speech disability as my state’s primary was quickly approaching. Door knocking was about to ramp up tenfold, forcing me to challenge one of my last internal barriers of speaking out of the blue to strangers. I had already experienced the “Sorry, I can’t help,” and “not interested,” in the early days of canvassing, as the door was closed in my face before my iPad could finish my opening introduction as a Board of Education candidate.

Taking care of yourself is arguably more important now than ever. But it can be hard to know what exactly will do you the most good. Should you make sure to run every day? Should you turn the TV off for a bit of an extended break? Is screen time OK or what? How much do Zoom happy hours really help?

How I'm Managing My Anxiety and Parenting During COVID-19
I’ve lived with anxiety in varying gradients throughout my entire life. As a kid, I was considered “shy,” always hiding behind my mother or sister when introduced to new people. Throughout high school and young adulthood, I struggled to quiet my inner paranoia over how others perceived me, always “in my own head.” I averted my eyes when passing someone on the street, not comfortable enough to look up and say hello.

To Those Who Question the Value of My Life During COVID-19
The presence of COVID-19 has been a strange, somewhat surreal experience for most people I have spoken with. I think there is genuine confusion about how we should respond as average citizens to a crisis of this magnitude. There is, however, a varying uniqueness added to this reaction when you are someone who was already sick before this came around.
