A Girl, Autism, and the Great Overtake
Being a young girl with autism wasn’t complex. With friends, I only needed someone to sit on the other end of the seesaw, kick the soccer ball back to me, or hand me their fives in Go Fish. It was easy.

How to Manage Stress and Anxiety: Coping Strategies for Well-Being
Stress and anxiety are common human experiences, but they can become debilitating if not managed effectively. When we experience stress, our bodies release hormones that prepare us for the "fight or flight" response. This can lead to physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and muscle tension. Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear that can be caused by a variety of factors, such as upcoming deadlines, social situations, or health concerns.

5 Common Reasons Why People Interrupt You
Perhaps there have been too many times when you felt you were not being heard, or didn't get the chance to have your say, sufficiently, because you were interrupted. We have all been interrupted at some time, but if it happens a lot, there could be a specific reason for it, or there could be something you are not doing quite right to get yourself heard with respect.

Your Words Are Your Sword.
People underrate their words so much and too often. When people often get a "You look nice today," they answer like: "What? Me? No, No, I look awful today; this was a rough morning…" and continue in the endless negative downward spiral.

The Twelve Step Approach: Outdated or needed now more than ever
This post is inspired by a few recent posts we have seen attacking Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve step groups as outdated and ineffective. While the Beehive Recovery Blog does not promote one particular route to recovery as the only means to achieve sobriety, these posts prompted us to write some educational things about AA, as it has been a core part of many people’s path to happiness and freedom from drugs and alcohol (including most of our blog contributors). Everyone’s journey is different and there are many ways to achieve sobriety. Beehive Recovery Blog hopes to educate as many people as possible on the subject of addiction. This includes providing education in trends of addiction, recovery stories, treatment options and resources, as well as dispelling misconceptions.

The Soul of fire
I stare into the fire, watching the flames dance and flicker. The warmth feels good on my face, but it does not reach my heart. I feel cold and empty inside, as if I have nothing left to live for.

Processed to distress
Intro: ‘Come on’ , ‘you’re fine! Oh please don’t overreact to everything ‘, ‘just stay happy na!’ …. These are not very new words to the person who is suffering from anxiety, the people around them may try to encourage them by saying this. But the thing is - what can be the worst situation when a person is in a problem but he/she doesn't know how to get rid of this situation, actually they even try to stay happy sometimes but they can’t. The ultra-Processed foods, especially artificial sweeteners can increase the chance of depression, stress, anxiety by 3x , and the dark reality is that they are really addictive substances . If someone consumes this type of food on a daily basis they can get lost in the loop. Because it becomes a comfort for them and when they are depressed they also try to get some of these foods, but these foods don't heal them but obviously increase stress.

How To Control The Ageing Process
As a Brit, and a keen ageing champion, while taking a holiday in Florida some years ago, I was taken aback by a party of men who were on a competitive sporting trip. They all looked late-40s or early 50s, being very active and energetic. I got talking to one of them about their trip, and he cheerfully admitted that they were all between 70 and 80 years old!
