Shut Down Mode Engaged — Please Begin Emergency Restart Procedures
Last year, I did well. For a few solid months straight I was super motivated. I wrote articles every day and struggled to decide which projects to work on. Build my audience on Vocal media or here on Medium, finish editing the final draft of my book, and continue writing the new book I’m working on, I capped out most months on my eBay listings on my store. And I still have all of that going on, but I also have a real estate license to study for, as well as all the typical ‘mom-wife-life’ stuff I have going on.

The Psychology of Fear (for dummies) Pt. 2
A Quick Recap In one of my earlier articles, we discussed how there are various different causes of fear that have altering degrees of significance to each persons psyche, depending on how relevant it is to their innate "triggers". We discussed how fear can be intentionally taught to a person by altering their responses to certain situations, and things, as well as how certain sounds can induce fear in specific individuals, but not others. Furthermore, we discovered that the state of solitude can induce a fear-response in certain individuals, which is tied to our human evolution. However, none of those discoveries are found to induce fear for every single person across the globe.

PNES/PNEA/Functional Seizures
I had my brother record the video up top because I felt it coming on and wanted to show my neurologist. I uploaded it to YouTube as a way to spread awareness of PNEA, as even healthcare professionals don't know a lot about them. My sister is the one who was helping me, at only nine years old. I'm lucky to have a helpful family, not everyone has that.

The Role of Personality in Depression: Is There a Depressive Type?
Depression, a complex mental health disorder, does not solely arise from a clearly defined, isolated cause. A plethora of factors, both genetic and environmental, influence its onset, progression and severity. Among these factors, personality — the enduring patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that distinguish one person from another — has emerged as a significant area of study. Researchers have long debated whether there exists a ‘depressive type,’ or a specific personality profile predisposing an individual to depression.
