coping

Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.

Have A Mindful Day!
Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus of being intensely aware of what you are sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgement. It is used as therapeutic technique for calmly acknowledging and accepting one's thoughts, bodily sensations and awareness moment-by-moment.

Unapologetically Broken
I never hear silence in an empty room. White, Green, Blue. Spinning and spinning like a broken carousel in my brain as the wires that should stretch out get tangled between each other and the spinning never stops.

To Whom It May Concern
Some things cannot be understood unless you experience them yourself, and no amount of preparation or warning will fully encompass how much your life will change.

You Can't Unring a Bell
Do everything, regret nothing. I adopted this as my motto as a freshman in college. First year at Penn State University, and I wasn't shy about trying new things. Jumping at any opportunity to push myself past my limit. Taking life by the horns and living for the moment. Sophomore year, I decided to have it tattooed on my body for a constant reminder.

The Mirror
Dear Mom, This is supposed to be a confession, but it is also to be written in the form of a letter, so there are certain rules that I need to follow. Usually, I begin all of my letters to you discussing my state of mind, and then I fill in the heart of it with what I have done with my life since my last letter (or, more often, phone call). Those messages can get repetitive and dull and I have no interest in repeating myself.

I Live In a Bubble
My name is Angel and this is my autistic confession. In life one of my biggest struggles is connecting with other people. I often feel like I’m in a bubble. A floating bubble, like the bubbles you blow with a wand in the summer. People can see me and talk to me, but just for a minute, as I float by, but I‘m never really there in the same place as them.

The Silent Mind
*Trigger Warning. Mentions of Depression, Please read at your own discretion* Look into her eyes and you may see, a little girl so alive, wild, and free. But burdened by the darkness that hovers with ease…a demon that forever takes the front seat. Holding her hand and taking the lead… this unwanted demon that only she can see. Please, why can’t you hear her silent screams… something she takes with her into her dreams. She can’t escape this feeling of sorrow, it’s here today, yesterday, and most likely tomorrow. She stands at the mirror, watching her thoughts be free, as this demon slowly takes over her will to please. She sees no reason to make you proud, she’s just a lost soul within a blind crowd. No purpose no desire, no light within her fire. This demon is her biggest supplier, preparing her for an early retire.

Where Would I Be If I Hadn’t Gone Through the Dark Night of the Soul?
I went through a dark night of the soul experience some years ago. The process was very extremely trying and difficult. It was a time where my entire life was uprooted and torn apart. This experience caused me to question everything about my life and who I was.

Let's Talk about Dementia
It is important to know what are the different types of dementia and how it affects the brain and daily functioning of people who are mainly in the senior age group. Memory loss and difficulty concentrating are a couple of signs that show early on dementia. Research shows that this condition can be treated, but can't be cured.

What Happened This Morning?
When I woke up this morning, I was in pain with my teeth. I have had pain for many years due to being unable to find a dentist who could cope with my dental trauma and PTSD.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL THE TRUTH....
A long, long time ago, when I was just a baby girl, I longed for MUSIC. I longed for games, toys, fun with my friends, and it was almost as if I were DRIVEN by a motor. Was I just a typical, rambunctious awkward child? It honestly depends on which mental health expert YOU ask! As a young child, I had friends, family, dogs, cats, hamsters, horses and more... but those were the GOOD times. Now, it FEELS like I have NOBODY.

When You Fall Into Old Habits, Here's How To Get Back On Track
You've been getting out of bed at 6 a.m. every day for the past few weeks, strolling into the kitchen, and preparing breakfast. You read while having breakfast, then write, and then exercise, perhaps going for a run, once you've finished. After that, you're ready to start your working day.
