The month of October has historically been a traumatic month for me. It was the month where most of my traumas both as a child and as an adult have occurred.

October was the month where my dad died. October was the month where I was raped and sexually abused. October was when I started being stalked.

October was the month where I was so physically abused, I ended up in the hospital with hydrocephalus, three fractured ribs and a broken eye socket.

What It's Like Being Young With Crohn's Disease
About a year ago, I was coming out of surgery for my Crohn’s disease. At 21, I had made the difficult but necessary decision to remove my entire colon and live with a permanent ostomy. I was hopeful, prepared for battle and so well-supported. Truly, I handled that surgery about as well as possible. I don’t think I cried more than once. My main role, in fact, felt like making sure everyone around me was comfortable with the idea of this surgery. Even as a young kid, I was always complimented on “how well you handle your illness!” and “ You seem so on top of things!” After all, I am a senior college student with 323,987 things to do, a color-coded planner, huge dreams, and a go-getter attitude to take on the world. Most would think I do indeed have my life together. Well, guess what? Sometimes having it all together is overrated. Sometimes neglecting your emotions for the comfort of others isn’t the right thing to do. Sometimes you need to feel without apology.

I Wish I Would Have Known More About Miscarriage Before Having One
The moment I realized I was pregnant, I tried to dial my emotions down. I used the term “cautiously optimistic” because I wanted to make sure that I was not overly attached to my pregnancy in case I would become one in four people who miscarry. I only told a handful of friends and always made sure to include the sentence “We are excited, but I’m only telling people who could support me through a miscarriage right now.” Even knowing the statistics, and my increased likelihood because of my ongoing battle with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was still excited.

Distracted driving has become a serious concern in recent years. It’s estimated that 10% of all fatal accidents are caused by distracted drivers.

What It Looks Like When My Inner Child Gets Triggered in Trauma Therapy
Those of us with trauma histories who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or complex PTSD (C-PTSD) often talk about what triggers us, what it’s like to be triggered, and how that manifests as somatic or emotional flashbacks, nightmares, panic, or even dissociation. While I have experienced all of these and to a certain extent continue to be affected by triggers in these ways, something that I have discovered recently as I begin to explore some “inner child” work in therapy is that sometimes when I’m triggered, my response is less obvious and far more difficult for me and others to recognize.

I then dragged out my yoga gear and propped open my computer. “Time for Zoom class,” I dutifully told myself, as I then clicked “join meeting.”

'Real' Mental Health Advocacy Needs to Grapple With Political and Racial Trauma
The vigor of World Mental Health Day often comes and goes so fleetingly, and far too predictably. Across social media, scores of people post crisis line numbers and encourage networks to reach out if necessary. And yet, the next day, most default right back to complicitly upholding cultural, institutional, and political conditions that criminalize, disenfranchise, and immobilize certain groups. To combat this widespread tendency, the discourse around mental health advocacy must become increasingly centered in a clear starting point.

Taking Care of My Body and Mind in Life With Cerebral Palsy
Today, I woke up feeling like I wanted to give up on myself. This is one of many downsides of having cerebral palsy — for me, at least.  People with cerebral palsy know it takes three to five times more energy to do the simplest tasks. For example, putting our socks and shoes on — for most able-bodied people, it’s as easy as 1-2-3, and they’re out the door. For me and many others who have cerebral palsy, it feels like our day-to-day yoga routine! It can take up to one hour to put one sock and one shoe on. (I was doing the cat, dog, cow pose before I knew what they were!)

Unpopular Opinion: We Don't Need to Change the Term 'Borderline Personality Disorder'
As I recently scrolled through my social media feeds, I stumbled across this article someone shared in a borderline personality disorder (BPD) Facebook group. Although the headline immediately caught my interest, I soon learned through reading the article that it was yet another “expert” pointing out what most of us who live with borderline personality disorder already know — far too many mental health practitioners place unfair judgments on borderline clients because of their diagnosis.

How to Turn Off a Business Account on Instagram?
influencer, the number of followers you have is something you must think about before you turn off your business account on Instagram. Let’s say that you promoted a product that still has a lot of worth in the market and you have gained more than 50,000 followers throughout the month, I would suggest you think twice before you turn your account back into a personal profile.Unless you are an influencer, a personal profile would not give you much benefit whatsoever when it comes to promoting new products and services.
