In my last story, I shared how poetry helps me express my depression and PTSD. Poetry has been my biggest life savior; it’s helped me express things that I haven’t been able to for a very long time.

It lets me express the good and the bad, the part that I show to the world and the parts I try and hide. You’re probably wondering, what parts are hiding?

It’s simple, the dark parts. The parts of me when things are really rough, the days when I want to give up to the intrusive thoughts, the ones that tell me I’m not good enough or I’m not strong enough and I should give up.

Healing From Destination Burnout, and Keeping Myself From Ever Going Back
It’s taken me a year to recover from burnout and I’m not sure I’m even entirely ready yet to write this article, but here I am giving it a crack. Going through the toughest 12 months of my life I’ve learned a lot about myself, my self-worth, values and building a different life that is more balanced with a strong connection to purpose.

When Words Are Like Bees as Parents of a Child With Down Syndrome
I once read, “Words are like bees, some create honey and others leave a sting.” This quote could never be more relevant than it is now in my life. Annoyed, irritated, miffed, hurt, pissed, or sad, these are just some of the symptoms from the words that can sting us hard. As loving beings, we all have our own, unique set of life experiences, emotional codes and stored memories that may cause certain words or situations to completely “sting” our inner selves and bring our flow out of its natural balance.

The Daily and Weekly Goals of Someone With Depression and Anxiety
When, like me, you experience anxiety, panic attacks and depression, completing normal, everyday tasks can become overwhelming. When I feel exceedingly anxious or I start to slip into a depressive episode, I start to struggle with just about anything. I forget to eat, can’t motivate myself to shower or get dressed, I’m lying awake at night and take too many naps during the day. In essence, I stop taking care of myself and let everything slide until it feels like everything has spiralled out of control.

How Getting the 'Silent Treatment' as a Child Impacts Your Mental Health
The silent treatment, also known as the cold shoulder, stonewalling or love withdrawal, can be incredibly damaging. It can make you nervous, frightened, confused and lonely. While it is healthy to take some quiet time from an argument or upsetting event to lessen tension, gather thoughts and proceed mindfully, silence, with the sole intention to hurt someone, is manipulative.

I was “fat” and “ugly” and needed to lose weight. I was lazy and listless without purpose. I needed to apply myself more strictly. Resolutions fed on my insecurities and self-hate.

Why “Forgive and Forget” Is the Best Advice for Your Mental Health
forgiving and moving on is the best advice you can follow in most situations for your own mental health and the health of the relationships in your life.While forgiving and forgetting doesn’t mean that you literally forget — you can’t erase your memories, obviously — it can mean that you feel the freedom to move on from situations that have caused you pain. In fact, learning from past situations is a part of the process of forgiveness.One of the main reasons why forgiveness is the best path is because harboring anger hurts you much more than it hurts the other person.

8 Tips for a Successful and Easy Whole30—From Someone Who’s Done It
Whole30. My reason for doing Whole30 was simple: I have an absolutely horrible stomach, and my doctor had been begging me to do an elimination diet for literal years. But it never felt like a perfect time to do it (newsflash: it will never be a perfect time to do it), and then one day, I couldn’t take it anymore and decided it was time to try to figure out my food sensitivities once and for all. Throughout my experience, I had a lot of highs and even more lows, but I did finish the whole 30 days and learned a lot along the way.

Hearing People Talk About 2020 as Someone Who Was Already Housebound
This year has been an interesting one. I’ve heard many people describe 2020 as hellish, a waste, a write-off, unbearable and other negative descriptors. For me, the pandemic hasn’t really affected my life that much. I was mostly housebound before the pandemic, with little social interaction; so all the restrictions haven’t changed my day-to-day. As a result, I haven’t felt the same negative feelings about this year that many others have.

What Backpacking Alone Means for My Mental Health
I have just returned from a week-long wilderness backpacking trip, by myself. As I have gotten older, I have been learning to give myself more permission to do these trips. And as a therapist, I find this time alone is an essential part of taking care of myself so I can best support my clients. It helps me create space in myself to be compassionately present with others as they explore their emotions, whether grief, rage, joy or acceptance.
