So, I’ve probably said it before, but I hate that this is “accurate” to the uneducated. Hell, even to the educated, sometimes. The thing is, there is only one bit to this whole thing that is accurate. The “How I actually feel” is pretty dead on. If I had the patience, I’d make a new
I got an email today, and I’ve received permission to share it with you all. Here it is: “Hey, I wanted to share this with you, because I really think your blog helps people… including me. I had a really bad panic attack Saturday night. I was sore for the next couple of days. It’s
Don’t flame me, and as always, don’t take what I say here as fact. This is an opinion piece and you are allowed to hate it. I will delete your comment if it’s hateful for the sake of hate. Just a warning. The thing is, my Facebook feed, Twitter, Feedly, you name it, they are

So, here is my second in a new series of responses to internet memes dealing with mental health. Enjoy: So, living with anxiety is something a lot of people with mental health issues have to deal with. For most, it fits into the normal routine. For a small percentage of us, we live our days
So, this. This is how people think about introverts and other super nerds. Many of my friends are nerdy or weird only with certain people. They gush about Doctor Who or Firefly, or darning socks, for God’s sake. It’s all unique to the people in question, and who they are surrounded by. I am NOT
People with mental health issues almost all have interesting behaviors. We can’t always control them, and they all manifest in interesting ways.
