My weight fluctuates. Always has. Always will. As a kid, I was considered chunky. As a teen, I was labeled athletic. As a young adult and busy mother, my weight fluctuated.

As an older adult and haggard working mom, that number increased. I’ve been skinny. I’ve been larger. I’ve been obese (according to the assorted height/weight charts I’ve consulted over the years).

How to Use the 3 Sins of Motivation to Achieve Your Goals

Has your hard work ever been overlooked? Maybe you’ve been working overtime for weeks, and when promotion time came along, a less experienced co-worker (who rarely, if ever, stays past clock out time) is applauded for his great work and is rewarded with a higher, better paying position.Or maybe a new website you’ve been working for weeks isn’t getting the traffic you think it deserves. And other, lower-quality websites seem to be as popular as ever (despite being “uglier” or having worse content on it).Whatever it is, it’s a terrible feeling knowing you’ve worked hard on something only to see others “take” all the credit.

Why I Stopped Listening to the Naysayers About My Autistic Son

09.01 / 12:53

Many years ago, when a doctor confirmed that my son is autistic, there was little I knew for sure. But I was certain of this: Daniel was the same child he was before the identification. He was smart as a whip, gentle, patient, kind, and already, as a small child, a thoughtful and attentive listener. Oh — and he was a ham from the get-go, developing a love affair with the microphone at age 2 that seeded his public speaking career.

When I feel exceedingly anxious or I start to slip into a depressive episode, I start to struggle with just about anything.

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.

How I'm Taming the Black Dog of My Bipolar Depression

My depression is an old black dog with a gray muzzle, red-rimmed eyes and wet fur. He shows up at my doorstep a few times a year, comes inside, and lies down at my feet — or on them. He follows me everywhere. Though he is usually quiet, he demands food and water. He eats my motivation, creativity and empathy. If he’s really hungry, his favorite meal is the juicy steak of my self-worth. He drinks my tears so I cannot cry, cannot let go and let in grace.

How to Be Vulnerable in Life and Therapy

The situation was bigger than me, and the vulnerability I experienced was not so much a coping mechanism as being authentic.Why is it that many of us only show our vulnerable side at the most extreme times?After all, vulnerability can help us not only build relationships, but also experience our feelings more deeply (Brown, 2015).In this article, we learn why vulnerability is not about weakness, but rather confidence and inner strength. Then we explore some tools, exercises, and techniques that offer help in therapy and beyond.Most of us don’t like to feel vulnerable in life or even in therapy.Rather than respecting those who are courageous enough to show their vulnerability, we tend to criticize them, becoming judgmental.

I am not sure if I should laugh or get upset over their gross ignorance. The media — social, print, and TV — has done such a disservice to individuals like my son who are in a different place on the spectrum. They downplay the challenges of autism to mere social awkwardness, sound-canceling headphones, and a fidget and the rest is all about handling their genius.
