Bio

Did you know Alpacas like ritz crackers? I didn't... Until I was followed by an entire herd in pursuit of snacks. 

Anyhow, welcome to my listener profile. I have a lot of experience with mental illness in both personal and academic spheres, and I have also done volunteer work with NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Areas that I consider myself to be most competent in are anxiety, bipolar, bullying, college life, depression, panic attacks, PTSD, self-harm and social anxiety, but I am happy to be the best listener I can be for whatever is troubling you. 

*Je parle un peu de français aussi (Je prennais des cours de français en école). Je peux essayer t'aider si possible.

...See more Does anyone have any fidget toys that they use to help with anxiety/adhd/bfrb? I usually keep a few with me to help with my anxiety. My favorites thus far are my thinking putty and my fidget cube. I'm also looking into getting one of the squeezy bean keychains. Having fidgets helps me self soothe and prevents me from pulling my hair/picking my skin etc. I have found that using them in class helps me a lot when I feel stressed out, and it also helps me focus on lectures.

...See more What are some things that made you more comfortable/confident about talking about your mental health condition? When I was first diagnosed at 15 I was really insecure about coming to terms with my diagnosis and I was anxious that my disorder was going to dictate the rest of my life and identity. What really changed my perspective was watching interviews of famous people with mental health conditions (Carrie Fisher, Demi Lovato etc.), as well as meeting peers with similar challenges. Part of the reason I like to be pretty open about my experiences with Bipolar II is that I want to be the person that I needed to look up to when I was younger.
