Freeing my mind in my own world
Having to live with anxiety and depression has been a constant battle, but overtime, it is has become more manageable. I didn’t know what anxiety or depression was until made the transition from high school to college. From elementary school to high school, I would say I was pretty “average”-- having no major life struggles [...]
Not gonna lie, I've been a bit on edge lately. From having to deal with draining coworkers, school, and just life in general, I would say I am a bit overwhelmed. Do you ever get so annoyed to the point where anything someone says or does just annoys you? In my mind, I've just been [...]
These past few months and especially past few weeks have been super overwhelming. I knew that working through a pandemic was going to be tough, however, I never expected to work amid a racial war while still in a pandemic. From having to deal with management, coworkers, patients, and social media has been draining. Like [...]
I've always struggled with low self- esteem ever since the start of my teenage years. It wasn't just based on physical appearance, (I am one to admit that I was one ugly duckling till the end of high school), but it was mainly internal.

It’s that time again to take a moment and reflect on the end of the year and also the end of the decade. 2019 has been interesting, to say the least. This year has been full of tears, lessons, and accomplishments. To be honest, I wasn’t sure how the year was going to play out [...]

Recently, I had foot surgery and the recovery process has been very tedious. I didn’t realize how annoying the healing process would be until the day after. It was then that it really hit me that I wouldn’t be able to get back to my daily activities and that I would have to rely on [...]
So I felt compelled to talk about my actual struggles with depression. Honestly, it has been a rough couple of weeks for me. It’s gotten to a point I hated waking up in the morning and having to go to work, been debating whether or not to call out almost every day. Along with anxiety, [...]
It’s that time of year again. , Summer is coming to an end and everyone is back on their grind . For most, that means going back to school. Me personally, I cringe when I hear the word school just because I know there’s a wave of anxiety coming my way. I think that the [...]
Life can be so exhausting. Juggling work, school, and other life issues can stress someone out. Then summer comes around, that’s when I take it upon myself to prioritize my mental health and take a mental break. I've been spending all this time stressing over studying for finals and crazy co-workers that I need to [...]
I always grew up feeling like I was never good enough. I would always think of myself as just average, nothing beyond that. In school, I was a regular student. When I say regular, we talking Bs and Cs on my report card. Not sure if it was due to lack of motivation or if [...]
