Tips to Help Your Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues in the world. However, it is still under-evaluated, under-diagnosed, and under-developed. Learning to live with anxiety can be complex. However, overcoming anxiety or at least managing it is possible through recovery practices. Our ability to obtain inner peace is important to our well-being. Stress and anxiety are the conditions for people to calm down or stress mental health. Stress and pain are harmful to the body. Excessive anxiety and stress disrupt the streptococcal hormone cortisol. It causes body aches such as headaches, nausea, decreased appetite, decreased appetite, and other signs of the body. Animal therapy, such as by visiting Dr Marty Pets on Facebook, can be very soothing.

I'm on the Verge of a Breakdown...
I will never forget the first anxiety attack I ever had. Everything seemed, well, fine! I escaped the wintry gloom of New York City after what seemed like an endless stretch of bad weeks. Fights with friends, bullsh*t tickets from the NYPD, a bad internship, and an even worse living situation. I was broke, tired, and ready to get out.

I Love You
It is with a heavy heart that I write this final piece. This final blog post of mine (it won’t be the last thing I write, just the last of this series; you can stay up to date with my writing on this website) is a rather hard and uncomfortable topic. It is a topic that makes many people feel useless and sad because looking from the outside, you always assume you could have done more.

I Can't Afford Therapy
There are a few pretty widespread affordable therapy options out there: Talk Space, Open Path, Better Help, etc. But, if your pockets look anything like mine, you still can’t afford them. While paying $30 to $70 a week is an enormous decrease in price, it can still cost up to $300 a month, which is just an extra bill that many can’t afford. In some cases, healthcare will cover therapy and mental health services, but I know that I can’t afford healthcare and I’m sure many others can’t either. So, what do you do when you can’t afford therapy, but you don’t want your mental health to climb aboard a sinking ship?

R.I.P. to My Youth
I never really imagined my youth would have played out the way it did. Although my life is not even halfway over, I have lived a life longer than my years. Additionally, things happen in the blink of an eye and one never knows if we will be here tomorrow. I am known as that goofy girl that helps everyone through their tough times. Everyone truly believes I am happy, but the truth is I am fucking depressed. This here is my confession.

Wahalalafia (Part 13)
I realised that I am mortal when I was lying down. Sometimes we take life for granted, it's ridiculous. I realise that. I have to make every moment count. As you know, I'm a floater, so sometimes it's difficult to keep my feet and mind on the ground. I don’t know why it’s difficult for me to keep my feet on the ground. I’ve always been expressive in my sentiments, in how I’m feeling, in what I’m doing.
