coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Introduction to Sensory Processing Disorder
Imagine hearing an annoying sound that keeps repeating in your head. Then think of an intrusive obsessive negative thought you wish you could forget. Couple that with itchy clothing sticking to your sweat. It becomes so overwhelming that you can’t help but to scream. Imagine that every waking moment of your life. Sadly, there are people in this world who have to deal with this. The ailment this is associated with is called Sensory Processing Disorder. I will refer to it as SPD.

Driving A Car Without a Steering Wheel
(Originally published on my blog, at angelnickirocks.Blogspot.com) Have you ever known a person with ADHD or autism who really had a hard time focusing on things they were supposed to pay attention to, or getting motivated to do things they needed to do? Yet when they spent time doing something they were interested in, you could not peel them away from it? It just seems to draw them in and not let them go? For a lot of kids, that might be video games or playing with a favorite toy. For my friend Adwin, it’s painting… he’s been known to leave a room to use the bathroom, and then secretly sneak off to paint instead of coming back! For me, it’s usually painting rocks.

Survivor of Many Things
The struggles are real, as I feel it everyday. Today, is the first time I ever got to do something on my own in a long time. My husband tries me as though I am a broken wing that always needs to be looked after. As if I am going to break at any moment.

Negativity Killing My Vibe
Everyone says that America has bad reputation for new immigrants. My husband because of his skin tone he fears he will be beaten and killed by corrupted police, and government officials in power. Yet he is willing to put his fears aside to make sure we can both have a good life in America. His fears are common though racism is everywhere.

I'm A Tree. Top Story - October 2022.
Even though the past two years have been comparable to surviving a thunderstorm in the open sea. I'm grateful to be living in a place somewhere close to nature. I get to go to a beautiful, lush park close to home and have walks that help me clear my own internal storms.

Social phobia is one of the common subtypes of phobias.
Patients with social phobia have an excessive and irrational fear of an external object or situation. Patients are aware of their irrationality but are unable to control their nervousness, and the fear continues to recur.

If you are always thinking about something, we strongly recommend you to read this article
Many people in their free time like to ramble, most of them are meaningless assumptions or suspicions, the content does not have an impact on life, and even consumes people's internal energy, adding to their worries, over time, prone to mental illness.

Aurora
Recently I argued with a friend of sorts... about my service animal - Aurora. She is a miniature horse and she stands out. And this individual was upset and in pain for me because she didn't want me ostracized for being "different" while living in a small, fairly closed-minded community. Why do I fight for Aurora? Why am I doing this for myself? Putting myself at so much risk of being closed off... in New York City, it wouldn't be as bad because there's so much more to think about and do, but in this tiny town? Putting it all on the line - for a horse - seemed absurd to her.

Habits That Help Me Pull My Life Back Together
Grief took me out for almost a year. My life began to fall apart in ways I completely expected. This isn't the first time my emotions have lead to setbacks in my life. After all, I'm human. It's taken me a long time to accept that when this happens it does no good to beat myself up over it, or be angry at the time I lost just sitting with my pain. The best thing to do is accept that it happened, and finally once the dust settles and I'm good and ready, start to slowly put my life back together again, piece by piece, always hoping the latest event will see me build back stronger.
