Mental Safety
Living in my bubble where nothing is real. There is no sorrow, there is nothing. This imaginary safety net I build is for when I fall, so I don't fall too far. My thoughts are real and filled with raw honesty. Sometimes they scare me to share them with you. The ugliness of my illness, and the torture it upholds on me is too much for anyone to handle. This is where my bubble comes in play, I can live my life the only way I know how by pretending everything is fine. By not recognizing how debilitating this disease is. By playing off the pain and discomfort as "not that bad."

Fibromyalgia
Invisible Illnesses, a lot of us have them but you can't always see them or how badly they affect our lives and the lives of those around us. Fibromyalgia is one of many invisible illnesses, that cause chronic pain, that most people don't understand. Not everyone knows that Fibromyalgia is something you are born with. The difference between people is the severity of their symptoms and when they show up. Most people start showing symptoms after age 30 or 40.

But there's ample evidence that this doesn't have to be the case. We can improve our fitness, happiness, and even regain a measure of youth if we approach it the right way.

7 Effective Remedies on How to Stop Snoring
Throughout the US about 70 million people suffer from unsound sleep. They don’t necessarily have to suffer from a sleep disorder; poor quality sleep or not getting the necessary hours of rest often has the same effects as a sleep disorder. Blame it on hectic work schedules or an unhealthy lifestyle, but poor sleep quality has been on the rise for the last many years. Some people suffer from chronic insomnia, some have fragmented sleep, while some people stay up because of ambient factors. Yes, believe it or not, but external factors are often responsible for causing unsound sleep. From noisy neighbors to the sound of traffic, to snoring (leading to the question how to stop snoring), various environmental factors are responsible for contributing to disturbed sleep.

Sleep Apnea
Sleep disorders come in various forms. Even though a large section of the global population suffers from sleep disorders, they are not of the same kind. While some people have difficulty falling asleep, others have difficulty staying asleep. The reasons behind sleep disorders, like sleep apnea, also varies from one person to another. However, regardless of the type of sleep disorder a person suffers from, it is of utmost importance that the real cause behind the disorder be diagnosed and treated, because sleep disorders can wreak havoc on the person’s physical and mental well being. When someone goes without sufficient sleep for days and weeks, it affects the health, memory, concentration, productivity, and immunity.

An Acid Trip You Need to Take
Protein plays an incredibly important role in almost every biological process of the body – and amino acids are the building blocks. Twenty percent of the human body is made up of protein. The major portion of muscles, tissue and cells are made up of amino acids; they carry out most important body functions and give cells their structure. They are also instrumental in the storage and transport of nutrients. They have an influence on the function of organs, glands, tendons and arteries and are essential for healing wounds and repairing tissue – particularly in the muscles, bones, skin and hair. They also aid in the removal of all kinds of waste deposits produced in connection with the metabolism.

Cravings and How to Avoid Them
When you are trying to shift to a healthy diet, or are on a weight loss calorie-restricted diet, cravings can really get the best of you! And what’s worse, if it is necessary to eat and not to eat specific foods for medical issues, cravings can be seriously detrimental if given into.
