How are you? Just you, not 'how are you and baby?' Just you. As a mother, this is something I often forget about. I am separate from my baby, even if a lot of the time I don't feel that way.

We are programmed to be our baby's everything, and this is not a bad thing. I have loved becoming a mother, my son is now 14 months old and it's been the best, hardest, happiest, challenging, inspiring, demanding, amazing and emotional 14 months of my life.

There are days when I think I feel every emotion possible and other days where I have no idea what I have felt or even what I have done.

How COVID-19 Lockdown With Chronic Illness Reveals My Vulnerability
When I was diagnosed with two chronic pain conditions, I perfected a way of dealing with things alone. Call it suffering in silence, but it’s the truth. I opted not to burden, not to trust, not to ask for help because people could possibly think I was weak for needing it in the first place.

How This Skill Is Helping Me Survive COVID-19 With Depression and Anxiety
One Thursday in March, I signed out of my work email and hurried home. My kids got off the bus, giddy with excitement, knowing they wouldn’t have to go back to school the next day, or the next week. They were blissfully unaware of the anxious looks passed between me and my husband as we tried to figure out where this journey would take us. This spur of the moment, surprise to everyone and no one all at the same time, extended vacation brought to us by the coronavirus (COVID-19). Lazy days of sleeping in. Cocktails by the pool. Long walks on the beach. Reading in a hammock under the shade of a tree. Breathing in fresh air. Deep breaths.

6 Beyonce Songs That Have Helped Me Have Fun Amid Muscular Dystrophy
After my diagnosis in graduate school, it took a little while for me to come back into myself. I’d been a quarter of the way through my life when I started getting strange symptoms and discomfort. When the doctors first shared, I experienced a myriad of emotions. I was filled with questions — lots of “what-ifs?” and “what nows?” I worried about my life and how it would change in the weeks, months and years to come. I considered that it was certainly possible that the doctors could have had it all wrong.

Tips for Helping Children Cope With Anxiety During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is a stressful, anxious time for most parents. In addition to our own concerns, which include everything from our family’s health to the unstable economy, experts agree that children and teens are in an exceptionally vulnerable position where anxiety may arise and/or become exacerbated. This is a frightening notion for parents, and understandably so. To combat any anxious tendencies, families must first be aware of the potential for these feelings to emerge. In recognizing increased levels of stress and anxiety in kids, it is paramount that we first acknowledge and then talk through the issues at hand.
