Bio

I am here to listen and hopefully to help you feel better.

I know sometimes life is full of difficulties, challenges, sorrows, and setbacks It's during these times that a supportive voice can make all the difference. but I think sometimes in order to overcome them, we need someone to listen to us, support us, maybe encourage us, and think with us. but Unfortunately sometimes  even those closest to us may not always understand or give us the space we need in these moments. and that is why I am here. 

While I can't guarantee to have all the answers to your problems, or the best advice, I can guarantee to lend you a listening ear, show compassion, share your feelingsm and I will try to think with you to find the best solutions. After all, life isn't always filled with sunshine and rainbows. I, too, have faced my fair share of storms and have learned how to navigate through them.

So, if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, someone who won't just hear the words you say but truly understand the emotions behind them, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here for you, anytime, any day.

...See more The concept of well-being is more than just the absence of disease or mental illness; it's about finding balance and flexibility to manage oneself. Well-being is both a skill we cultivate and a state we experience. It's a dynamic process that requires ongoing attention and effort. To nurture our well-being, we must: * prioritize meaningful relationships * limit social media consumption * engage in enjoyable activities * reflect on our life's purpose * give back to others. The strong social connections provide emotional support and a sense of belonging. Limiting social media consumption can reduce stress and improve mental health. Engaging in activities we enjoy helps us to relax, recharge, and find joy. Reflecting on our life's purpose can give us a sense of direction and meaning. Giving back to others can foster a sense of gratitude and fulfillment. By finding balance and connection within ourselves and with the world around us, we can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. This involves recognizing our strengths and weaknesses, setting realistic goals, and developing healthy coping mechanisms. It also requires being mindful of our thoughts and emotions, and taking steps to manage stress and anxiety.
Learned Helplessness: Are You Convincing Yourself You Can't Win?

...See more Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, things just won't get better? This feeling of hopelessness can be explained by a concept called learned helplessness The following text is excerpted from the book 'You Are Not So Smart' by David McRaney. In 1965, a psychologist named Martin Seligman started shocking dogs. He was trying to expand on the research of Pavlov--the guy who could make dogs salivate when they heard a bell ring. Seligman wanted to head in the other direction, and when he rang his bell, instead of providing food, he zapped the dogs with electricity. To keep them still, he restrained them in a harness during the experiment. After they were conditioned, he put these dogs in a big box with a little fence dividing it into two halves. He figured if the dog rang the bell, it would hop over the fence to escape, but it didn't. It just sat there and braced itself. They decided to try shocking the dog after the bell. The dog still just sat there and took it. When they put a dog in the box that had never been shocked before or had previously been allowed to escape and tried to zap it--it jumped the fence. You are just like these dogs. If, over the course of your life, you have experienced crushing defeat or pummeling abuse or loss of control, you convince yourself over time that there is no escape, and if escape is offered, you will not act--you become a nihilist who trusts futility above optimism. Studies of the clinically depressed show that they often give in to defeat and stop trying. . . Any extended period of negative emotions can lead to you giving in to despair and accepting your fate. If you remain alone for a long time, you will decide loneliness is a fact of life and pass up opportunities to hang out with people. The loss of control in any situation can lead to this state. . . Choices, even small ones, can hold back the crushing weight of helplessness, but you can't stop there. You must fight back your behavior and learn to fail with pride. Failing often is the only way to ever get the things you want out of life. Besides death, your destiny is not inescapable.” ― David McRaney, You Are Not So Smart You have the strength within you to overcome challenges and create a brighter future.
