Things stick with me. When I wash my hands, the line from the HBO series “Westworld” about the mechanicality (I also love making up words) of soap inevitably manifests in my mind.

When my dog kisses me, I am inevitably (and immediately) reminded of Cat Stevens’ “I Love My Dog,” which begins to play inside my head.

When I am given a play-by-play, I recall the hilarious line from the film “13 Going On 30,” “Do whatever you want, Matt. It’s not like I need a play-by-play” (despite disagreeing with the general sentiment of such a statement).

Why I Turn to Shopping When I’m Struggling With Depression
“This is what depression looks like for me,” I thought to myself as I aimlessly wander through the mall on a Saturday afternoon, two huge shopping bags in hand. People pass me and have no idea that I’m having a meltdown because from the outside looking in, I look like a regular shopper, hunting bargains at the mall. In all reality, I’m hurting inside. So, retail therapy is what I try, even though I know it’s not the healthiest coping strategy for me. My wallet certainly doesn’t appreciate it.

This time last year, I probably hadn’t even run 30 miles in my whole life and could barely jog for 90 seconds, so I was setting myself a real test in doing the 30-day Move for Mind Challenge.I wanted to do this challenge and raise money so that Mind can continue to be a great resource for people who are looking for support.

5 Things They Don’t Tell You When You Lose a Child

Object Constancy: How COVID-19 Lockdown Triggered My Borderline Personality Disorder
I’m halfway through a long-term group therapy program, which was extended by six months due to lockdown as we didn’t meet for a while, initially, until we began to use Zoom and then Microsoft Teams for our sessions. In therapy, I’ve made good progress with my borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms. Some of them seem to be barely there anymore, and others are much reduced. However, recently, I experienced a flare-up of some old feelings and behaviors, triggered by lockdown.

How 'Atypical' Star Tal Anderson Found Her Path as an Autistic Actress
My favorite Netflix original series is “Atypical.” I love watching Keir Gilchrist portray Sam Gardner, a young adult with Asperger’s. I was excited to interview Tal Anderson, a young adult actress with autism who is the co-star of season three of “Atypical.” She plays the character Sidney, a college student with autism. I was amazed and inspired by Tal’s journey with autism and following her dreams to be an actress and model.

“You’re my girl, my one and only.” Those are the last words I remember from my great-grandmother before she passed away in front of my eyes in her home on Feb. 8, 2007. That day is a day that has been etched into my mind for all eternity. I will never forget the fear behind her eyes and the desperation in her voice before she embarked onto her spiritual journey. A day which would also mark the beginning of my own journey. A journey of grief, a test of faith and of self-discovery.

Practicing Self-Care Looks Different for Everyone
Self-care is not always enjoying what you hold dear — frequently we are reminded to prioritize indulging in adventurous hobbies to fulfill our own care responsibilities. These moments hold great value and can certainly be a form of self-care, however, the grandiosity of these actions is not what deems them worthy of such categorization. I often find in discussion, many individuals with a variety of chronic health conditions feel they’ve “failed” at self-care or don’t know how to “do it right.”
