Why Facebook is Toxic for Your Mental Health
Facebook is an unavoidable part of modern life. It's a place where people share their feelings, opinions, and everything in between with the world. Unfortunately, it is a toxic place for your mental health. Facebook has been found to lead to a decrease in self-esteem and self-confidence and feed into anxiety and depression.

Letters never written.
My hands were shaking as I grasped the crinkled-up pages in my hands. My palms grew sweaty and I felt the heat leave my face, flushing me out. I never expected to receive this letter. But I have been waiting for it for years anyway. I call that anticipation anxiety.

The Power Found in Pain
While prying a panel down from the ceiling my pry bar slipped in such a way that the back side of it hit my jaw. As I spat out a bit of blood as well as the corner of my front tooth, my only response to this was a calm, “Okay”. Three weeks later I sat post car accident. A man in a stolen vehicle chose to run through a blinking red light. Airbag dust floating in the air, checking myself for external injury, acknowledging fully he just totaled my car, my response was the same. Simply a calm, “Okay”. I reflected on these moments’ days later. Deeply concussed, my body in pain from the impact, I was seriously questioning my mental health. I conclude that through the trauma of the past three years either I have gone insane or reached some level of nirvana where nothing can touch me. Either way I was okay with it.

A Day in My Disabled Life
All my life I have had to explain what Cerebral Palsy is, while people stare at me in the high street looking me up and down with a hint of confusion upon their face wondering, 'what's wrong with me?'. I, a disabled person, do not fit the image of a disabled person (or so society would have you think). To some, I am not able enough to be considered a 'normal person', but to others, I am not disabled enough to be considered 'vulnerable', for I do not look disabled, can speak myself - or I 'sound okay'.
