Bio
Hey there! Wonderful to meet you! I’m a nerd with a passion for photography and the social sciences :3 You can usually find me buried in a book or in the non fiction section of the library somewhere, haha. I also really like high adrenaline sports and music! I’ve been singing and dancing for years and I was on the school team for judo :D I’m definitely the sort to live life to the fullest! When I’m not performing or reading about medieval history or skiing, I’m usually volunteering in the mental health area. I love talking to and interacting with people lots!

...See more Hi everyone! Something I've noticed about myself recently is that when I'm studying or going down my checklist of things to do for the day or even when I'm doing homework, I have a really hard time taking my mind off the previous task/question even as I prepare to do the next one!  I've realised that this might be the root of my very quick mental fatigue. Every time I do a task, my mind and my heart are still in the previous one, still thinking about it, still trying to perfect it, still worrying about it. It really carries over a burdensome, stressful load to the next task, and the next, and the next, until it accumulates and overwhelms me! I have tried taking breaks, but once I get back to it, all of the stress from the last one comes rushing right back. This is especially if the next task/question is linked to previous ones and I have to look back or review. When I do that, the emotions come with it.  What are some ways you guys let go and move on in every day life? How can I learn this skill? Thanks!

...See more Recently, my psychologist and I had a sort of check-in to see where I’m at and whether my goals for therapy has changed. I found that I’ve achieved a lot and it was difficult for me to find areas I wanted to work on, so I’m considering stopping therapy. How do I know if I’m ready, and how do I communicate this to my psychologist?

...See more Hi all, I have been and still suffer from emotional abuse from my parents (primarily from my mother now). I have had legitimate support from psychologists since last year, so I am well on my way to healing from the C-PTSD it has caused. However, I just can't seem to get over this sort of... I don't know, grief? Or maybe a sense of unfairness? That I feel when I hear about or see other people's parents or grandparents. I just feel like I wish so deeply that I had a 'proper' family, with a non-abusive mom, a present dad, and grandparents who I can talk to without my mom distancing me from them. I wish I could talk to my grandparents but even though they're nice to me they were apparently abusive towards my mom and I just don't know how to feel about that. I would be so happy to finally rid myself of my mom but I still really want a proper mom. Is anyone experiencing anything similar? It would be great to know I'm not alone in this.
