Do you ever just feel TOO good?
This is a post only an anxious person would make. No one else would second guess feeling TOO good. But I would. So here’s the deal. I am used to being afraid. Or worried. Or bending my mind over something. But today, I’m not. In fact, more and more frequently I’m not. It’s a good…

Blue Hair and Anxiety DO NOT MIX.
I’ve always been approachable. I have that energy about me. I’m not sure why; it’s always been that way. I’m the person weird strangers come up to and accost – (LOL ! …seriously though). I’m the person who feels like your good friend after five minutes of chatting. I am welcoming. No confirmation needed you…

The Panic is Never the Worst Part
Anxiety. We talk about it here. I had a panic attack yesterday. My body misinterprets any signal of distress as impending death. *rolls eyes* Yes, it’s so annoying. But the thought occurred to me that as terrible as panic attack feels (like the whole world is crashing down around me and I’m falling into a…

Everybody Needs Somebody
I used to think that being tough was cool. I would never ask for help, and never show anyone a hint of my emotion for fear of being vulnerable. I know a lot of people still struggle with this. In life, we get let down. We convince ourselves that we would be better off without…

I’m back from PEI – things are about to get hectic!
Being home today is bittersweet. I had a great week off, but now I am forced to acknowledge that I will not have another week so carefree for a long time from now. I embark on a new adventure next week as I move into a new home and start my course in nutrition –…

Things my anxiety has told me (that are complete and utter lies).
If you have anxiety, you will likely be able to relate to this post so hard. If you don’t, buckle yourself in because from the outside looking in this post will take you on quite a wild ride! The mind of an anxious person is an interesting, albeit terrifying place. I know that when I’m…

How to Fix Someone with Anxiety
If you thought that the title of this post is really what it’s about, then I am super glad you’re here. I often see people who don’t struggle with mental illness try to fix or ‘save’ their loved ones. I get it, you know, the desire to want to ‘put the fire out’ so that…

What’s a Setback?
If I’m being transparent, I have to say that this day was ultimately difficult for me. I woke up today expecting to take my “after” photo for my Strong to the Finish challenge. I had prepared myself yesterday as well as I could. Exercised, ate what I was supposed to, tried to keep the stress…

Intuitive Eater
I was pretty cute in my teenage years. I wouldn’t describe myself as particularly beautiful at that time in my life – in fact I was more awkward than anything. I wasn’t sure who I was for a very long time. For many years I felt trapped between who I wanted to be, and what…
