Let Music Be Your Jumper Cables
So if you, like me, have a host of mental health issues, you already know what “rock bottom” means. For some background, my brain is riddled with clinical depression, anxiety, major panic disorder, as well as autism (Asperger’s), and ADD. Nightmares are a nightly occurrence and I get regular panic attacks. I am a mess of unbalanced mental chemistry. I also work multiple jobs and am in the process of returning to school (which, let’s be honest, is almost more stressful than actually being IN school). I’m certain most of you have something similar going on in your own lives.

I am more than my Limbic system
Mind over matter. Is this really the case? 2020 has been the year of change; with people adapting to new ways of life, different daily routines and constantly finding ways to to keep their minds active. However (and I am sure Im not alone in this) it can be hard to stop the mind from becoming over active.

Thanksgiving(2020)
To all those suffering. Whether it be mental health or seasonal disorders. Or just someone who has had a rough go of things. Traveling during this time can flare up many symptoms during this time. On top of that we all still have to wear masks. When will things feel normal again? Take the time to breathe. Relax. Breathe. Whom have you forgotten to say Thanks to this year? Whatever your beliefs are, that's between you and The Universe. Let's just have a safe Holiday season.

Lost
Let me start by saying that life hasn't dealt me the kindest hand. Hasn't dealt me the worst, but not the best or the kindest either. My current situation right now though, in every aspect is equally the best and the worst time of my life. I work two jobs and live in an expensive town. So, yeah, I'm struggling in a lot of ways. With COVID-19 out there now, everything is harder than it normally would have been. I fight depression, insomnia, struggle with anxiety and lately, severe panic attacks. A very bright light in that particular dark cloud is that I am no longer suicidal. I'm struggling to find myself, find who I am and to not be ashamed of whoever that person is and not worry what others think about me. Two jobs every day. I'm a workaholic who doesn't know what to do when she isn't working and being like that isn't the.....healthiest way to be. Aside from my books, I am having to re-discover what hobbies I like, as well as finding new ones. As far as having friends goes, I don't have very many and while I am trying to make new ones, it's hard. Starting about seven years ago, I became really good at shutting people out and never letting them in. Add that to being an awkard introvert who is really bad at starting conversations, it's hard for me to make friends. However, I do like puzzles and challenges, so while stumbling around in the dark trying to discover who I am is terrifying, it's also intriguing and challenging. Some mornings, that's probably the only thing that gets me out of bed. Wondering what new thing I'll discover about myself. So all of that is what makes this particular time of my life hard.

Why shows should have a trigger warning when it comes to mental health
Why shows should have a trigger warning when it comes to mental health Shows have a warning for a lot of things, sex, drugs, language, but not for mental health issues. I recently started watching “spinning out” and honestly had to stop watching it because the main character and her mom are both bipolar and it was really triggering. It's a great show and really interesting but I just couldn't force myself to keep watching it because I was being so emotionally triggered. It wasn't a comfortable feeling and brought up a lot of emotions of what I am like when I'm having an episode.

Finally Free
My body weak and my mind reeling, I fell to the ground. It was cold and damp, almost instantly seeping into my bones. The air smelled sweet. I gulped and swallowed and took as many deep breaths as I could. Fresh air flooding my senses, I closed my eyes and reveled in it for a moment.

Releasing The Idea Of Stability
As the warm days move towards the darker season ahead, I find myself becoming sad. Sad that the days will no longer be beaconing me to go outside, shoes off, sitting next to a tree, barefoot and enjoying the sun's warmth on my body. This past year has been very challenging for many, however, it has been a blessing in disguise for me.
