Taking Care of Yourself and Others, Especially as an Empath
One of the most important things we need to do when we are on this Earth is care for ourselves. A lot of people feel as though caring for themselves makes them selfish. It is not selfish to care for yourself. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup. Meaning, you cannot help other people if you are not taking care of yourself. In a time when many of us are fighting for social justice in the world, I felt it was very important to ensure everyone is taking proper care of themselves.

Mental Health Shouldn't be a Taboo Subject
I think it's mad that people are slated for talking about what is purely another health condition that you have no control over. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not real. You don't tell a person with a broken leg to just get up and walk normally or that sitting in nature will fix the broken bone.

Why We Need To Change How We Look At The Face Of Addiction
Chances are you know or have interacted with someone who suffers from drug addiction. For me, I've seen it my whole life. I was introduced to this pervading illness and the effect it has on those around it when I was just a child.

Autism Isn't Abnormal
The definition of a disability is to be someone with certain characteristics that are different to most people. A neurotypical person on the other hand is defined to have characteristics that fit society’s general layout. Yet the word dis-ability suggests that neurotypicals are able and normal, whereas anyone else is considered of less worth to society.

Living with Depression and Anxiety
I suffer from several mental health conditions: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, disordered eating, and neurotic issues. Over the last several years, I fell into a black hole of depression that I thought I would never get out of and am only now clawing my way up the side of.

Marvel & Fending Off Weltschmertz
Did anybody else notice how solemn Marvel's film Captain America Civil War is? The tone and mood are very grim. Yet, can Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writers, be blamed? Think about it? Who isn’t experiencing their own Weltschmertz, (a German word that means anxiety about the world) right now? Any of these sound familiar - Anxiety, fear, apprehension, worry foreboding, doubt, trepidation, malaise, disquiet, uneasiness?
