What Does a Girl Have to Do to Get Some Therapy Around Here?
After spending a handful of years struggling on and off with painful bouts of clinical depression and PTSD, I decided it was time to go back to seeing a therapist. It wasn't that I was necessarily afraid to talk about my issues, but the issue with depression is that one of the side effects tends to be a lack of motivation, which unfortunately, creates a kind of catch-22 situation (being that you think maybe you should get help for your depression, then your depression keeps you from calling someone and getting help). Alas, after several conversations with myself back and forth, I decide to deal with my problems.

A Self-Care Guide
Sometimes, you go through so much it affects you in ways you can't even begin to explain. And if you're lucky, you have "your person" to talk to. But even with a support system, you may feel like you don't want to share too much, afraid that your person might begin to feel what you're feeling too deeply, or afraid that you can't trust that whomever you pour your heart into won't judge you and walk away. I know that feeling all too well as it's happened to me over and over again.

How Mental Illness Affects Your Life
I remember the days when I was just a little kid in elementary school who was always happy, having fun and carefree with no worries. I sure miss those days and I know I’m not the only one! As I got older, life became harder. And when I say “life became harder,” I don’t just mean because of the normal stuff us adults go through in life, such as paying bills, paying rent, going to work everyday or even finding a job and being financially stable. Anyone else out there who suffers from mental illness understands what I mean. I suffer from and have been diagnosed with depression, as well as bipolar disorder and anxiety. Doing every day tasks that may seem normal and simple to do are harder for me, such as getting up in the morning to go to work or even getting up in general. I want you to read about my journey and understand how important mental health is.

10 Weeks of DBT
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a science-based therapy created by Marsha Linehan, PhD. that has been proven effective in teaching individuals struggling with behavioral disorders and PTSD skills to improve their quality of life. These skills are divided into four categories: interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. DBT was developed in the 1980s, and though DBT is spreading quickly, many people still don't know much—if anything—about DBT therapy.

Why I Go to Therapy
Why do people go to therapy, really? To sort out grief. To work out dilemmas and move on. Maybe to get closer to someone or over someone. There are so many reasons one would need therapy. Mine is to have a voice and to actually be heard. OK. That's it. Well, not exactly.
