Everyone has their own way to express themselves. For me, it's blogging. I've contemplated writing about this and asked for opinions but at the end of the day, I'm going to do what I think is best for me anyway. Two days ago I was told to leave my "home". I packed my suitcase and [...]

Q&A: ft. Me ♥
Over 400 million people suffer from some sort of mental illness. But of course, no one talks about it because of the stigma it comes with. I feel if more people started to share their feelings, stories, thoughts, it can help other people cope with whatever it is they may have going on. So I [...]
Am I “Crazy”?
Today I wanted to share a short story on my first manic episode. I've only ever had one but that one was one too many. During a manic episode, your mood changes from normal and is accompanied by high energy states. I've had tons of panic attacks where I couldn't breath and I just wanted [...]
My Own
A year ago around this time, I wrote a poem for school about my transition through depression. I was proud of my self for getting through it. Unfortunately, I ended up in the hospital months later but I got through it again. It's all a wave. I went up and down for years. Each time [...]
How I OWN My Depression
Living with severe depression is not easy but it doesn't have to be hard. While I was seriously going through it, I was letting myself deteriorate both mentally and physically. I only wanted to stay in bed. I wasn't showering (gross.. I know), eating more, letting literally everything pile up. I realized things were going [...]

Do You Know When to Stop?
For the past 3 days, I've been sick with what we all thought was the flu but it wasn't. I ended up going to the hospital and had a viral infection and was extremely dehydrated. I wasn't able to eat or drink for 3 days and I didn't want to at all. I was also [...]
Kicked Out of Therapy
This is not clickbait. YES! I was kicked out of therapy. Okay, so I've been with the same therapist for 2 long hard years. Lets call her Lola. Lola was my absolute everything. I looked forward to seeing her every Thursday. She knew the names of all of my friends, family, and even every single [...]
Paranoid
Depression and anxiety kind of go hand and hand. I was lucky enough to be diagnosed with both (NOT). There is nothing wrong with being nervous, it happens to everyone. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a magnet when it comes to car accidents. I’ve been in 2 serious car accidents in my [...]
St. Joseph’s: Regan 2
“Its all in your head.” “Read your bible.” “Snap out of it” “Oh, you’ll be okay!” That’s not even half of the advice I’ve heard throughout dealing with depression. Truth is… nothing you say is going to get rid of my depression. In fact, everything that you were saying was starting to upset me. Everything [...]
