From the Outside Looking in

There’s something about addiction I don’t understand and that is why they always have to play the victim.

I have a relative in my family who is a recovering addict and this person believes that everything that has happened in their life is the result of other people’s actions. Now there is something about this that really bothers me for two reasons. The first reason is because sometimes the…

When you hear the word addiction, what do you think about? You probably think about drugs and alcohol but addiction is so much more than this.

Me, Myself and Anxiety

Sometimes when your anxiety spikes to ungodly levels you start to dissociate from the world and yourself; that’s how I felt yesterday. I felt like I was in another universe; like I wasn’t apart of my own mind, body or soul. Trying to make sense of this feeling is really exhausting. My mind was racing, my thoughts weren’t anything happy and I had to be around people for 8 hours… That’s along time…

Let's Take it Back to the Start

Let’s Take it Back to the Start

If you could go back and change anything about your past what it be? I see this question asked alot and I always answer with “nothing.” If it wasn’t for my past experiences, good or bad, I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today. Even if my past wasn’t always the greatest it taught me alot of what I know now. It taught me to be grateful, honest, open and responsible. It taught me that things are…

Confidence First

I believe that in order to be truly happy with oneself they must build confidence first. They must be able to portray themselves as someone who has alot of flaws but can handle anything thrown at them. They must be able to accept negatives, but be able to find the positives in any situation and build on that. As someone who suffers anxiety (and I know I talk about it a lot,) I sometimes have a…

In Today's Society

In Today’s Society

Do you ever feel the burden of disappointment from those whom you call family or your employer and friends? You aren’t alone. I can almost guarantee everyone feels this way, as I see it everywhere. In today’s society people seem to think humans are disposable but we aren’t. We are not meant to be used as a temporary trial and then left and forgotten. In today’s society, we are just a number. We…

Feeling Defeated

I started this blog and also a Facebook page but for some reason I’m feeling defeated. I have 200 followers but I feel like those are just numbers. Only about a handful of them really interact with my page and it makes me kinda sad. Now, this could just be my anxiety and lack of self-confidence that’s driving this insecurity but I can’t help the feeling. I want everyone to know that I am forever…

The Effects of Positive Thinking

In the last 4 weeks I’ve been practicing positive thinking and it’s going really well. I have noticed in the last few months that when you think negative, negative things happen or things seem to go much slower, but if you try and think positively, things move at a more rapid pace and good things usually happen. For example: I started a blog just about 2 months ago and I was pumped for it.…

Living a Stress-free Life

If there’s one thing we all want in this life it’s living a stress-free life. Unfortunately for some of us, this seems next to impossible, but it doesn’t have to be. There will always be stress in our lives but if we can learn to accept it and find ways to cope with it, it can be a manageable thing. I personally have mountains of stress. Sleeping is stressful, waking up is stressful, being a…

Learning to be Alone

If there’s one thing people should practice everyday, it’s being alone. Learning to value alone time and being less dependent will save you from being hurt by those whom you thought you could count on. I learnt this today. I learnt that being alone is probably more important than always being around people. I am one of those people who literally cannot be alone. I’m an extrovert so naturally, I…

The High Anxiety Parent

Are you a parent (mom or dad) who suffers high anxiety? Ya, me too. The really awful thing about this is the constant feeling of judgement. It’s like no matter what you do, or how hard you try, someone will constantly be judging you which makes your anxiety worse. It’s a vicious cycle of doubt and humility deep down inside you. I know these feelings all too well because everyday my life is seen…
