Nothing Is Like Bitter Sweet
I wanted to write this today to show people how things can be difficult if one lives with one mental health issue, for me living with it comes with a price. A price that I've regretted when I wasn't thinking straight; I couldn't really pull myself out of it this time, I was in far too deep. Despite what was going on around me, I still couldn't seem to get out of it no matter what, sometimes I have to apologise for what my actions may have caused while I was unable to pull myself out of it.

You Don't Have to Live with Adult Acne
If you are reading this, it's because you or someone you know is dealing with adult acne. It is such a downer to go through day to day life already stressed as is about work, rent, bills, etc. But now you have to do it all with adult acne.

Effective Method for Resisting Negativity Through Meditative Practice
Every now and then, there comes a time when the negotiations of life take their toll on our minds and consciences. We typically aren't prepared for the negative pessimism which is flung our way, and we also aren't ready to react towards it. However, there are techniques that can make the vast difference between making a negative reaction to a certain circumstance, which could have been avoided through the application of reflection, and positive thinking.

Menopausal Madness
My take on menopause was that I was going to, maybe, get a couple of hot flashes, in my early fifties, a slight change in my body and the end of periods forever more (yeay). No more hormonal outbursts, no more cranky, I-want-to kill-someone moods and no more purchasing of sanitary products that may or may not give you cancer if you stuck them up your vagina. I would be free at last from the evil that was menstruation.

Caving into PMDD Cravings
Often enough and sooner or later, on one of the PMDD forums, a woman will post about eating an entire bag of "insert brand name" snack food. I totally get it. I myself have posted about eating giant bars of chocolate, entire bags of chips, too many pastries, and frozen yogurt...all at the same time. When you feel miserable, and there's nothing you can do about it, and the cravings are there...well, the indulgence can feel nurturing. I've stopped judging myself for these episodes because there's no point in it. I'm otherwise incredibly healthy and eat a very healthy diet. I exercise regularly too. Once a month, if I have a hormonally-induced need to just go totally crazy, I do. And I'm not about to beat myself up over it.

Find What Works for You
This “one-a-week” posting makes me feel as though I’m neglecting you. But, needs must when you have bills to pay. Today, we’re going to talk about fitness and well-being. This isn’t a “tips,” “tricks,” or “diet” post. Perish the thought. This is sharing what works for me and how I found it. Think of this post as motivation to find what will work for you. I hate to tell you this, but not everyone is the same. Yes, Dave, people do think that.
