After the amazing experience I had at the Office of Health and Wellness Peer Educators’ Retreat, I’ve added one more thing that I could potentially do as a future career. I’m looking at different ways I can combine Computer Science with my other passions and I think I’ve got some ideas what I want to […]
-Potential trigger warning: This post contains content that deal with childhood sexual trauma and self-harming thoughts. Note that this is also going to be a really long post.- It is a strange thing that I feel that I deserve more compassion when I see myself as someone else than when I see myself in the […]
I saw someone’s post about how they just want to move to another country and start over where no one knows them and it inspired this post – which I had written initially as a reply to her post. You see, I pretty much ran away. I moved to the United States in December of […]
So today, which is actually yesterday now that I’m looking at the time, has been one of the more stable days I’ve had this past week. It’s been quite a roller coaster for me – days when I was down, I was inconsolable while days I was high, I was almost too hyper to speak […]
This is VERY powerful. If you have 18 minutes, watch this: It opened my eyes because I realize that loneliness is what I’ve been suffering from because I have this skewed perception that people around me just don’t care about me all that much. Even when my husband shows me so much love daily, I […]

How many of you here are fans of How I Met Your Mother? For those of you who are, you might remember an episode in Season 8 – specifically Episode 11 – The Final Page – where Ted Mosby was so worked up over his old architecture professor who had told him that Ted will […]
I personally always like reading articles written by therapists because I don’t always have enough time in session to ask my own therapist questions that get answered by these articles. I came across an article today that is written by a therapist on “How to Not Be A Dick To Your Therapist”. If you’re currently […]
So I got another therapy toy today. It’s called the Tangle Jr. (not sure why Jr. but maybe there is a version where it’s longer?). It’s supposed to be a fidget toy with nice bumps on it for added tactile sensation. It’s very pleasing to the touch and I’m hoping this will help me with […]
Today’s therapy session got “real”. It got so real that I was stunned by the realizations that were rushing towards me and knocking me over throughout the session. To those of you who have attended or are attending therapy, you know the feeling I’m talking about. It’s that feeling where you reached a point in […]
