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.

Do Depressed People Want Actual Help or Just Sympathy?
One thing I’ve seen constantly over 16 years of using social media is the number of people talking about depression. Specifically, how depressed THEY are. I can often detect a pattern of these kinds of posts from a handful of the same people.

In my own world
Do you know the feeling when you just want to be alone and not disturbed by anything or anyone? There are plenty of nice and fun things out there but yet hiding in one’s nest feels the best option. For some people, avoiding others implies that you are offended, so you don’t want to speak to them. It’s hard to explain unless you have experienced it yourself.

Signs of mental illness that should never be ignored
The truth behind the title is that we never want to ignore the signs of mental illness, whether in ourselves, or others. Most individuals are not able to diagnose themselves, yet our observations will be the first wave of information qualified healthcare professionals will use to put the right evaluation into motion. It is not a suggestion to “watchdog” those around us, or fixate on our daily routines, only register changes, and react with the same brevity, compassion, even urgency, when needed.

Gestalt therapy: a conscious way of living
We live this way, frenetic, without stopping, many times because we are afraid of silence, non-activity, nothingness, emptiness. It represents the stop looking outside to see inside and in this way we do not want to face what we see.
