coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Dealing with Anxiety
It may seem like there isn't much you can do when you have so much crap going on in your mind. This happens to me every day... you are not alone. Sometimes I wake up thinking, 'Ugh I have so much to do before the weekends.' And honestly, I hate it. SMH, ADULTING! But I never let it get to me because it will just drive me crazy. When I overthink, I actually have the worst anxiety attacks, they really do hurt. I also go through phases where I have so much on my mind that I don't want to talk to anyone and that's never good, especially now that I'm more active on my campus. But anyways enough about me... Let me tell you how I get my shit together before I go CRAZY!...

The Ways I Deal With My Depression
I have reached a stage in my life that I would not even wish upon my best or worst enemy. I am 62 and I am going through changes that I never imagined in my entire life. Some can be dealt with while the majority of them cannot. Most of them are the result of my earlier decisions while the rest are the results of things way beyond my control. No matter how I look at it, I must deal with them.....alone.

Just Another Trich Day
I’ve had Trichotillomania for a long time now, and let me tell you: it freaking sucks. Pulling hair out because of stress, boredom, insomnia, OCD tendencies (such as one hair being a slightly different color or thickness), and not having a cure? It’s exhausting. And discouraging.

Why My Clairsentience Drives Me Crazy
Clairsentience is all about the gut feeling, or feeling that you get when you meet somebody or walk into a house you are looking to buy. Clairsentients can sense emotions in a person, past, present, and future while not using the five senses to do so. Clairsentience is about aura seeing and psychometry as well. I can see auras, and I have practiced psychometry at a spiritualist church. Some people perceive me as judgmental when I instantly know if I like a person or not just by being around them. This happened to me only recently when a cranky person who was having a bad day wound up asking the “are you pregnant?” question to which my response is “I’m having a lactaid, that’s rude.” I knew she was going to say that. Like my bloating is annoying to someone else. It is a medical condition I have to deal with.
