I Don’t Know?

I apologize that it has been a minute. And thank you to those of you that have reached out to me! I appreciate it & I'm sorry I didn't respond. I'm sorry I haven't kept up with all of you too. It's hard sometimes trying to read everyone's blogs. I've been picking up extra work…

Update: My Brain is Jelly

I've had serious writer's block. I've been burnt out on writing boring articles. Yet, I can still make videos. I don't know. I've been dissociating frequently so the focus is here and there. I'll have a more in-depth post coming soon about my dissociating and what's going on with me. I'm okay, I swear. I'm…

New Year Goals

I know it's already 13 days into the new year, but I want to post my goals for 2020. I don't call them "resolutions" because it just has bad vibes attached to it. They say the more you put your goals into print, the more motivated you are to complete them. So, I'm going to…

The New Year Blues

The first few days of 2020 have been tough on me. I was down and out. Other people are thinking ahead but I'm always thinking of the past. I'm not anywhere where I would like to be in life. At first, I thought I was slipping back into a bipolar depression episode and was terrified.…

You Can’t Help People Who Don’t Want to be Helped

You can't help someone who isn't ready to be helped and isn't ready to step up. This is a hard lesson I've had to learn over the years. I still struggle with it and it stings to "give up" on someone. It's not really giving up but I can't keep using all my mental strength…

Happiness or Hypomania?

According to Merriam-Webster, happy is defined as notably fitting, effective, or well adapted In the beginning, it's hard to tell the difference between genuine happiness and hypomania. I have issues deciphering between the two. So many times I've felt that I was happy but it turned out to be a hypomanic episode. So these past…

I Started a YouTube Channel

I went and started a YouTube channel. There was a lot of anxiety going into this and hitting upload. It'd be awesome if you had any constructive criticism. If you enjoy it, please subscribe, comment, and like. You guys are awesome. ❤  

Rant: Religion is Not a Cure for Mental Illness

Disclaimer: I am an atheist. I'm out and loud about my atheism. However, this post isn't about my beliefs or your beliefs. It's about some's ignorant beliefs when it comes to mental illness and mental health.   This rant is about a type of toxic positivity (Check out the article, linked above) I read a…

On the Outside I Look Lazy

On the outside, I look lazy. I lie in my bed, too fatigued to move and too tired to concentrate. On the outside, I look lazy. I'm curled up in my blanket like it's my cocoon. I've fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole because it's the only thing that boosts my dopamine and serotonin. I've…
