I just got a new job here in the Pacific Northwest area. Today was Day 3 of training, and boy it was tedious. All training programs are though, so there’s that… I’ve finally wrenched myself out of the food industry. I joined an outsourcing company, that handles customer service, as well as technical support. I […]
I miss S. It’s been almost 3 months since we’d said goodbye, and had our final session. I miss having someone to talk to who not only wouldn’t judge, but also would provide essential feedback to me. I know I’m in a much better place now, which is why we both agreed on termination, but […]
As promised, here is part 2.
I’m feeling pretty wiped out today because of my monthly blood loss so I’ll just plonk this one here until I have more time to expound on it: Today’s wisdom from the psychologist’s couch is: I’ve repeated many patterns in my life due to many different reasons – but one of the most notable […]

However, once outside of that space, they are just like all of us with insecurities, fears, dreams, hopes, and such. Sometimes, it’s easy to […]
Trigger warning: Talk about self-harm in this post.
I was at the Campus Center again today to perform my duties as a Peer Educator. This time, we were partnered with CAPS to run a free alcohol screening test for the student and campus citizens. The screening is to test for attitudes and behavior towards alcohol consumption. After a student writes down their answer […]
Hey guys, remember this incident: Walk-In Therapy Session That Bombed? It was the first time ever after a year of sessions at CAPS that I had ever had a somewhat negative experience with a therapist.
