Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty good about myself. Life has been unusually calm and stable. I just graduated from college so I’ve had that as a reason to celebrate.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is lightening a bit (as of the writing of this article), and being fully vaccinated makes me feel safer to be outside.

My medications are working and mental illnesses seem to be under control. But despite all of that, I can feel myself beginning to slip into a depressive episode, and I think I know exactly why.

When Trauma Makes You Afraid of Being Happy
Recently I heard one of my favorite authors, therapist Lori Gottlieb of “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” fame, refer to the word “cherophobia” in an interview. She described it as a fear of being happy and commented on how common it is with trauma survivors. When I heard this word and description I literally stopped in my tracks because it hit me like a lead pipe over the head. Could this be why I so often feel an almost terror arise in me when I make plans for something fun?

Challenging Mental Health Stigma as Someone With Chronic Depression
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week again, so it’s time for me to get on my annual soapbox because unless we have this conversation, the stigma will never end, and there are so, so many of us who wrestle with these issues and deserve to be heard and seen. I have struggled with major depressive disorder (MDD) for many years. I also live with debilitating chronic pain, which compounds the depression. I take my meds. I go to therapy. I meditate and do yoga most every day. I do all the things you are “supposed to do” to get better, but for some of us, this will be a lifelong battle regardless.

The Danger of Encouraging ‘Positive Thinking’ With Depression
It’s almost a cliché to tell someone with depression to “think positively” or to “see the good things.” It’s usually well-intentioned. Friends, family and even medical professionals have a habit of encouraging people with depression to view life through the same rose-colored glasses they do. Now, there is a lot to be said for trying to see the positive things around you as long as there is an understanding that sometimes (or a lot of times) the goggles of depression simply don’t allow you to see anything positive.

Finding the Root of My Dermatillomania
I had a realization the other day. As one may see from reading any of my previous articles, is that I am quite introspective. I would like to give therapy some credit, although I honestly believe I was born this way; an “overthinker” as coined by my parents, my sisters, society. I have always loved the idea of keeping a diary or journal, something I off and on did as a child, and have consistently been doing as an adult for the past seven years. As I overthink and journal and TALK (I am quite talkative), as well as research (I love the internet), I have learned more about who I am as a person as well as who I am with my neurodivergent identity.

I Created a Music and Storytelling Podcast to Promote Good Mental Health
When I was early in my mental health journey 40 years ago, I would journal as a means of self-expression and to let out all of the post-adolescent angst that was pent up inside. These feelings were a result of having a mental health challenge which was eventually diagnosed as bipolar disorder type 1 with psychotic features. During these days, I had no one to talk to about what I was going through, with the exception of the counselors and psychiatrists who attempted to help me manage my condition. And I had little, if any, interest in speaking to them.
