Do Affirmations Really Work?

So our air conditioner decided to die yesterday morning, after weeks of telling the apartment complex something seemed wrong with it. It's unfortunate that outside, in 90 degree weather with high humidity, is cooler than being in your own apartment. The apartment complex did give us a fan, which we put in the bedroom and …

Things “To Do” and “Not To Do” When You’re Spiraling

My phone has been giving me a hard time lately, so I haven't been able to get on here to write. It wasn't allowing me to access apps or even call and text people. I've gotten it fixed but I do need to get an upgrade. Aside from that, I've also just been playing Sims …

Some Art I’ve Created While I’ve Been Away

One of the things I've been trying to get back into is drawing. I've even been trying new mediums to keep myself interested and motivated. I used to spend HOURS in my room drawing. I remember laying on the floor, my pencils sprawled out on the floor around me, my black jukebox playing to my …

Over the weekend, my mom showed me this really interesting program that she bought and is currently using. She said she has had great results so far and showed me a few of the videos that you receive when you purchase the program. It looks very promising for many women...and men! This is not really …

How Depression has effected Vaginismus for me

I’ve noticed that I’ve had to put working on vaginismus on hold for quite some time because I needed to manage my depression. My therapist and psychiatrist said that, “Since your depression is fatal, we need to focus all of our attention on that first.” So, that’s what I’ve been doing. Unfortunately, the outcome of …

Does Mental Health Make You Uncomfortable?

Many people are living their lives, while the rest of us are simply trying to survive. Every day is a fight to not give up on yourself and to keep moving forward. It might seem like such an easy thing to the person next to you, and some people might think you are silly for …
