I Was the Best Faker Ever
I'm true to myself now, and it's not gonna happen. Not today. Sometimes that’s enough. I can say that, now. There were days when I’d wake up wishing I hadn’t, and days when I’d consider driving my car as fast as I could, over a bridge or into a brick wall.

This Is Why I Laugh At You
I have learned from some of the best. Not all of the best, might I point out. Some of the greats hold out on sharing anything at all with those outside of their close circles. Of course, those circles remain small, and it is never in one’s best interest to be a part of that group; you’re sure to end up prematurely dead.

Why Men Don't Talk About Depression
Why do men have a higher instance of depression than women? Depression is a disease that affects both men and women, but it can vary how each gender experiences it. In general, women are more likely to have depression due to hormonal changes and the more nurturing nature of females. Men, however, often keep their feelings inside or refuse to talk about them for fear of being stigmatized or judged by others. This will lead to higher incidences of depression among men than women.

The Beginning of Seasonal Depression
The snow is falling as the Christmas trees come up. The world is winding down as you're ready to get on with your new year. Ambition is high, as well as your spirits, but the sun is not as bright as you remember it being earlier that year. You eat your dinner looking out the pitch-black window. Taking a refreshing walk isn't near as refreshing anymore. Holidays bring so much fun and joy, and they also bring stress and anxiety. Wondering if you can afford the best gifts or host your family parties. You wonder if you can pull off as many needed work hours as you can while also attending the parties and seeing all the friends you've missed for so long.

I AM UNAPOLOGETIC
I was just fifteen years old, when I went under depression. I still remember the day when my parents were out for a marriage and I knew they would return tomorrow as my father did not like to drive in night. It was a great opportunity for me to commit suicide.

The Face of Depression
What does depression look like? Simply put, it looks “normal.” It looks “healthy.” My depression looks like a genuine smile. It sounds like gut wrenching laughter. It smells fresh & clean from a recent shower. It appears organized during my daily work tasks & responsibilities.

How Sorrow Makes You Beautiful Inside and Out
I used to think that in order to be beautiful, I had to be the happy type of person — the girl who always had a big smile on her face, the one who can always cheer other people and lighten everyone’s mood. Unfortunately, I’m a melancholic type of person. Somehow, I felt I’ve always carried some sort of sadness in me that could never be fully erased no matter how I tried to behave differently.

The Paradox of Postpartum Depression
I feel like I’m drowning. Some days are better than others. There are days when I can make it to the surface so I can take a deep, exasperated breath before I sink back into the depths. Where it’s cold. Where it’s dark. Where all hope and joy and self-love are pulled from your soul- it’s like a nightmarish hand pushes through your ribcage and pulls out your still-beating heart.

Dietary Fibre
Recently, I sat down with an old friend from my college days who is currently working as a flight paramedic and looking at working towards a vocation as Physician’s Assistant. Matt has a vested interest, as we all do, in keeping himself healthy, and admirably wishes to extend that interest to a circle of care as a medical practitioner. Being the son of a paramedic that was for all intents and purposes, burnt out by the field, I whole-heartedly hope he’s able to make the transition in order to maintain that wholesome approach to his work. A large part of his approach is studying holistic health practices and how they can be adopted by western medicine and western culture as a whole.
