Anxiety: What an Adventure
The other day my boyfriend sent me a text, which read “Do you want to go to the gym later? I’ll wait for you” Bless his heart for being so considerate. It had already been a morning of classes, and I was on my way to work, so he would have been waiting awhile. Unsure,…

Chill with Holy Basil
I was sitting in class a couple weeks ago when I heard a classmate mention that she uses Holy Basil tea to help her with anxiety. Obviously, my ears perked up, and I thought… what the heck is that? I was curious, but upon hearing that it helps with anxiety and can be made as…

Anxiety Sucks|| I’m getting emotional
Hey Strong Babes, It’s been so long since I’ve made a Youtube video, but this one I felt in my heart I just needed to make. It’s also the first time in front of the camera I really let myself be vulnerable – and damn it, I feel free. If you want to connect more,…

Is Gluten Making You Moody?

I’m not a bitch, I just have anxiety
This post was almost titled “maintaining friendships and anxiety”, but I felt that it wouldn’t really convey the message I am so eager to express today. I’m not a bitch. At least I don’t think so (??). Based on feedback from the people surround me I have been told I am a kind and respectable,…

The Benefits of Grounding
Hey city dwellers: have you ever noticed that sometimes getting out of the city just makes you feel better? I am filled with a sense of gratitude and relief every time I get the chance to enjoy nature and breathe fresh air. Sometimes, I even take my shoes off. Let my feet touch the ground,…

Anxiety Roller Coaster: The Least Fun Ride Ever
When I was 16 years old, I had my first panic attack. Not a feeling of panic, but a full blown, out-of-my-own-reality panic attack. I felt the intense weight of the depersonalization and derealization as the world seemed to slip away from me. I’ve never been the same since. I’ve been struggling with some pretty…
