We live in an era where lyrics in contemporary music state how feelings are comparable to an illness that you can catch. To be afraid to “catch feels” informs the listener that to do so would be detrimental to one’s mental health—or that is how I have interpreted it.

So how did this all occur, and how does it affect our perception of emotions regarding the self? The rise in technology and social media are largely to blame, as they have reinforced this illusory notion that positive feelings, acceptance, and love is obtained from outside of the self.

8 Tips for Managing Chronic Pain During the Coronavirus Pandemic
I live with fibromyalgia and arthritis, as well as bipolar disorder, and I know from personal experience how hard it can be to manage your chronic pain during times of stress. Our mind and body are connected, meaning that our emotions can have a significant impact on our physical symptoms. Unfortunately, stress can worsen chronic pain and cause flares in symptoms. As much as I do my best to manage my stress levels, during times like these it can be difficult to keep a handle on things.

Why I’m Scared for the Return to 'Normal' After COVID-19
Here in Seattle, we’re entering our eighth week of Governor Inslee’s Stay at Home order in response to the COVID-19 crisis — a state mandate that will last another four weeks before Washington begins any phases of re-opening. Like everyone else, I am devastated by the havoc that the novel Coronavius has inflicted upon our country and I mourn the tens of thousands of lives lost to it in the United States and abroad. But as we surpass our second month in isolation and begin a larger public discourse on economic re-opening, I can’t help but feel a deep-seated fear arise at the thought of “business as usual,” nor dispel the grief as my chronic anxiety and depression re-emerge in anticipation, rearing their ugly heads.

Why Taking a Moment to Myself is a Must Amid the Quarantine
We needed groceries. I turned off my van and sat. I focused on my breathing. Deep, slow breaths in and out. I was in no hurry to go into the store. I watched the people coming and going. Their clothes were a sign of the warming weather. There were no groups of teenagers, but mostly one or two people per car. I noticed more people wearing masks and rarely a child in sight.

Pandemic Life With 'Hannah Banana,' My Daughter With Down Syndrome
Five years ago I suddenly went from mother-to-be to mom of a child with a disability. There was no warning, no training. Now I’m six weeks into another role I didn’t sign up for — preschool teacher. Well, not just that: add in special education, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. Managing Hannah’s school work and keeping her fed, safe, and semi-entertained is a full-time job, on top of my actual full-time job. As independent as Hannah is, she’s still not capable of doing everything herself. That means maintaining a certain level of supervision all day and being ready at any moment to help her. I can tell you a 5-year-old’s bladder certainly doesn’t care what’s a convenient time for me.

How Isolation Can Actually Be a Healthy Coping Mechanism for Mental Illness
As someone with schizoaffective disorder, I find myself isolating more than the average neurotypical person. I notice it, and my friends and family notice it. For me, isolation is a critical part of being able to function on a day-to-day basis, yet there are so many people (doctors, therapists, advocates, etc.) who find isolation dangerous and unhealthy. Let me acknowledge I agree with them — sometimes. Sometimes it is dangerous and unhealthy, but sometimes it is what I need to get by without a public episode.

4 TikTok Therapists You Need to Follow If You Struggle With Your Mental Health
Similar to Vine, TikTok has become the new social media rage over this year. It tends to be used primarily by teenagers, but is becoming increasingly popular across all age groups. Young adults, celebrities, “TikTok moms” and even the elderly are all sharing videos. I finally caved in and joined a few months ago and let me tell you, if there is anything bringing in some extra serotonin during this quarantine, it’s this app. I find myself laughing, crying, trying to dance and feeling understood by my fellow users. Among the many users of this app, there are mental health professionals using the platform to spread awareness and help those who are struggling — they refer to themselves as “TikTok therapists.”

When Your First Reaction to Your Diagnosis Is Feeling Numb
I thought I was handling my diagnosis so well. For the first few weeks I didn’t feel much of anything. There were no tears, no anger — nothing. Looking back, I was in a fog those first weeks; the news still didn’t feel real, and I hadn’t yet accepted my new reality. My lack of emotion about my diagnosis fooled me into thinking that nothing was really wrong at all.

This Is What Happens To Your Body When You Exercise
What exactly happens to and in your body when you exercise? That is a common question among beginner exercisers. Well, a lot happens to your body once you start subjecting it to intense physical activities, particularly if you have been living a sedentary lifestyle. You actually start feeling the impact as soon as you hit the ground running. Your heart starts to beat more than you are used to, you feel like you aren’t breathing efficiently, and the muscles tend to tighten up. Sometimes you will feel some discomfort around your groin, stomach, and lower leg muscles long after you are done exercising. You will always feel some difference- both short and long term changes.

COVID-19 Is Forcing Me to Acknowledge My Own Vulnerability
I have thought long and hard about how to approach this story; it is such a hard situation to write about. Half of me wants to make it light and supportive, but half of me is terrified that I am sitting here waiting for death to arrive at my door. I’m immune-suppressed and classed as high risk. The UK government has asked me to “shield” for 12 weeks, minimum. This means I am not to leave my house for three months and should stay distanced from my family. This is a harsh message to receive and makes me feel very vulnerable and leaves my children petrified. Using the word petrified without it being an exaggeration is a horrible state of affairs.

Why Chronic Burnout Affects You to Your Core
With working from home more possible and prevalent than ever, the boundaries between professional and personal lives continue to erode. This always-on reality is a recipe for burnout. And when burnout goes on long enough, it can cause what’s known as moral injury, or damage that comes from living against one’s own values. Here, Amina Naru and Pamela Stokes Eggleston, co-founders of Retreat to Spirit, explain the concept of moral injury and offer some remedies for it.
