The Battle for Sleep
The most strained relationship in my life is my relationship with sleep. I was the youngest of five kids growing up in a two-bedroom condo. In order to make the most of limited space, my brothers and I slept in bunk beds. Most nights, I spent endless hours staring at the slats of the bunk above me, letting morbid thoughts creep into my mind. What if the bunk bed broke and I ended up impaled on one of those slats? When that got to be too much, I would turn to the wall. The wallpaper was ships at sea and even though the image was always the same, the scenarios I created in my mind were ever-changing. Sometimes I would run my hand over the wallpaper, feeling the bump where my mother plastered over the hole.

What Is the Difference Between Mental Health and Mental Illness?
The difference between mental health and mental illness isn’t clear to many people. It’s easier to understand the difference when you treat them as separate entities. Mental health is about mental wellness - we all have mental health. Mental illness is when someone is diagnosed with a mental disorder.

Fear
All of us experience fear at some time or another and if we didn’t we’d be oblivious to danger so it’s nothing that should cause us to feel weak. However, many people develop such an innate sense of fear that it begins to have a detrimental impact upon almost all aspects of their lives.

Managing & Controlling Stress
We will all experience stress to a certain degree in our day-to-day lives. It could be as a result of a personal setback e.g. a relationship breakdown or a bereavement, a health issue, maybe losing a job or it may be due to other pressures at work. In fact, stress can manifest itself for any number of reasons and, in certain instances, a ‘healthy’ level of stress can actually have positive benefits for us. This often occurs at work where a manageable degree of pressure often spurs us on to be more productive.
