I Had My First Earthquake Experience—It Was a Psychologically Terrifying One. Top Story - April 2019.
The day was April 22, 2019. It seemed like a normal day for me and my mother. We did the usual kind of stuff such as household chores, playing games on our gadgets, spending time on social media, and lazing around. We had our plans arranged for the week so that we wouldn’t be lost in path and we could be able to accomplish our goals. When the afternoon came at almost 5 PM, we were preparing to go out to buy some of the stuff we needed. My mother was in the bathroom while I was in the living room, walking around and chatting with my friends from abroad as well as playing a game on my tablet.

Anxiety Battle
I am always with you. I am the voice that sits in the back of your head when your trying to sleep at night. I am the one that tells you to bite your nails when you’re in crowed rooms. I do not care that you need to be up at 3 AM for work, I do care about getting your mind racing, and as your speeding through the things you did or didn’t do during the course of your day, I am going to remind you that you are overweight and you didn’t lose any baby weight.

Depression Can Make You Feel Like You're Drowning, but You're Not
I’m suffocating. I can’t breathe. My feelings are shutting down. I’m obliviously numb to any sort of feeling or emotion. I don’t want to talk to anyone, don’t want to hang out with friends; everything that I love, everything that I have fun doing, does not bring happiness into my life; it’s as I’m drowning and no one is helping, they are just watching me fall to the bottom.

Who Needs a Therapist When (Pt. 18)
So, I am close, so close, to seeing a doctor. And, I am so worried that they are going to have bad news for me. That it will take another 3 months for me to even get tested for sleep apnea, or that I do have sleep apnea (I have a mild phobia of things on/smothering my face while I sleep so I am not really looking forward to a diagnosis that would mean getting used to strapping a thing to my face. It would probably go the way of my night guard for tooth grinding, and I'll wind up not using it and just accepting that I will feel lousy.), or that it is all because of my weight (which is its own looming doom of trying to deal with. If an under 1k calorie diet doesn't work, what drastic measures could they possibly take?), or that my sleep issues aren't that bad and I should just suck it up.
