Crochet for Mental Health
I have been struggling with my mental health for a while. I finished my undergrad degree in Zoology and had no idea where to turn! My whole life I had been within the education system - just keep studying for the next exam. But at least I knew what I was doing!

Group Home for the Individual
In 2006, The Department of Social Services just in the state of MA had a grand total of 8385 cases. Out of said 8000 cases, only about 2000 of them had been in placement. Some going to foster homes others going into an assisted living while being mostly independent — and others being thrown into what is called congregated care in which the kids are placed into group homes.

Breathing to Help You Deal With Anxiety
At the root core of meditation is the control of your breathing, hence your mind is relaxed and your spirit renewed. But it doesn't always come that easily, because you are unfortunately preforming your breathing in an irregular fashion. In fact, the very way you breathe stipulates much about your mental and physical states, seen most acutely in exercising. Weight trainers always stress the importance of controlled breathing, because not only does it help stimulate your muscles, it also keeps your mind on the prize.

PTSD vs Scientology
In order to know, really know, my story, I would have to take you back nine years, to the beginning of my military career. However, I won’t bore you with the intricacies of my history. Instead, I will give you the information that I believe is relevant to what led to my first visit at a Church of Scientology.

How to Use Tapping for Anxiety
Have you ever heard of tapping for anxiety? Well, if you haven't it's a simple way to curb your anxiety while costing you nothing out of pocket. It's also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), where you tap gently on different parts of the body with your fingertips while you repeat a phrase out loud and pay attention to your emotions.

Coping with Anxiety
Anxiety comes in many shapes and forms. People experience it differently, so what works for me may not work for everyone. But I felt compelled to share some of the things that have worked for me over the past two years since I've received my diagnosis of social anxiety.

Existential Psychology and You
You wake up early, drink coffee, sit in traffic, muddle through the work day, sit in more traffic, go to sleep, and start it all over again tomorrow. If your life sounds anything like this, or even if you have a different tiresome routine, the question "what is this all for?" has probably crossed your mind once or twice. According to existential psychologists, finding meaning in life is the purpose of humanity and a lack of meaning is the source of anxiety and depression. However, as the basis of countless books, plays, and movies, this topic has been romanticized and dramatized so thoroughly that finding meaning has become a grail quest in its own right. Fortunately, you don’t have to drop everything and go on a soul searching adventure to find a purpose for living. It is very possible to find meaning and purpose in the life you are currently living. Here are some of the techniques of existential theory that will start you on the path to purpose and open your eyes to all the beautiful and wonderful relationships and settings your daily life takes you through.
