So it’s Day 5 into the new year – technically, as I type this it’s Day 6 but since I don’t count a day as ending until I turn in to bed, it’s still Day 5 for me – and I’m happy to say that I’ve had an eventful holiday/semester break. Ever since Christmas at […]
If it weren’t for my therapist being a psych major, I don’t know where I’d be today. To be honest, probably dead because I probably would’ve killed myself. We’ve only been on our journey through therapy for 6 months but he’s been my lifeline. So Jeb Bush can suck it with his derogatory remarks about […]
How many of you here always blame yourself for things and think of yourself as “crap” or “garbage”? Though I can’t speak for anyone but myself, I know I have talked myself down like that countless times and I still struggle with this problem. In fact, this week in therapy, I went over time and […]

Today was a day of small victories. I’ve been struggling through a depressive episode for the past 4-6 weeks now and it hasn’t gotten much better. In fact, last week itself, I was feeling quite suicidal through the entire week. No matter how much I tried, everything just seemed bleak and negative. I didn’t know […]
So I gave my speech today on depression and how it impacts me physically, emotionally and motivationally. I spoke about how tired I always am and how I get strange body aches. I continued by talking about how my depression causes me to be irritable and angry all the time – almost feeling like I’m […]
I started therapy 12 weeks ago and my therapist/psychologist (I personally can’t decide which term to use since officially, he’s a psychologist but he’s the one helping me through therapy which makes him my therapist) has been helping me chip away at the tall, cold, stone walls I’ve built around myself to keep others and […]
