@SoulfullyAButterfly
The area I am interested in developing content for is phobia and that is because I myself have experienced phobias as well as know people who suffer from them. It is an interesting topic and I would like to research the different types of phobias and how to cope with them.
@SheAlwaysListens
Looking forward to your content soon! <333
@SheAlwaysListens That sounds great! I'm sure you will have very good ideas about the topic 😊
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'm interested in developing content in Family, Grief and Loss, Relationships, Covid-19, and Child & Adolescent. I chose these because i have first hand experience with each category.
@Lannylistens
Those are great topics to be involved in, especially since you have expirence!
I’m interested in creating LGBT content! As a bi trans guy who previously identified as a cis lesbian (don’t ask) I’ve officially identified as every letter in LGBT lol! So I have a lot of experience in LGBT topics. Also CBT, as I’ve been in CBT therapy for a few years so I’m familiar with a lot of the techniques and find them really helpful!
@considerateOrange2567 Wow, yes having many experiences and familiar with the topic helps a lot in our writing later. You seem to have many ideas to write about it. I wish you all the best ^^
@SoulfullyAButterfly
That's alot of areas and I'm interested in all!!!. However I would go for autism as I'm personally going through it and would like to help others as well. It's a personal topic for me as well.
@azuladragon34 Glad that you found the one you're interested in. All the best ^^
Awesome you've fund the one that interests you the most.
Before reading this post, I was geared towards creating content for anxiety and depression, but now I'm starting to consider sexual disorders and sleeping disorders since they are not so talked about in social media and they have a scientific basis.
@alexandra0321 Hello!
sexual disorder and sleeping disorder are such an interesting topic to be written and to be read. We're rooting for you for whichever topic you choose to write about. All the best.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Mention which area you are interested in developing content for and why.
The areas I am interested in developing content for are:
1. Depression (signs and symptoms, postpartum depression, seasonal depression, other types, causes, treatment, supporting someone with depression).
2. Relationships (symptoms of toxic or unsupportive relationships, leaving a relationship, coping with breakups)
3. Self-Esteem (signs, how to boost, affirmations, activities)
because I believe these are the ones I am most familiar with and most fascinated with either due to personal experience or because I have seen my close friends, relatives, family members in a similar situation.
@Textingpals Wow you sure have so many options in your mind and those options look interesting. All the best for your article! 😊
@Textingpals
Self esteem is one I could of handled well in an article given my experience.
❤️ @Textingpals ❤️
❤️ Those are great topics to focus on (and an astounding writer that works on that). I admire the empathy and compassion you are exhibiting by developing content for topics your loved ones go/went through. I also am very proud of you for using your personal experience to help and support others. In short, Pals, you are wonderful, and your readers are lucky. ❤️
@SoulfullyAButterfly i am interested in family stress since I had been dealing with it for some years ago, spirituality also because of the miracle and faithfulness I have been receiving. I am also looking to break ups and relationship stress, personal stories since i know that would be a great story to tell. :)
@emotionalCurrent5586
Relationships and family is such a good topic. So many families go through so much. It will be interesting see what you find.
I would like to write about stress(symptoms, management,coping) it’s similar to anxiety and I have books to learn from and write from. Another student wanted to write about Spirituality and Religion because it’s their faith.
@WhiteRoses25 great idea! Stress is perhaps a root cause of several conditions so it would be good to research it and find something to write about in that regard.
@WhiteRoses25
Stress is a big cause of a lot of issues in people today such as anxiety and breakdowns. It's a great topic to research on.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Family, Substance Abuse, and Depression in no particular order. I chose these because I have the most experience in it. It would be interesting to find more sources and information on the subjects; therapy, self therapy, guidance, etc.
@MarinaLecubet
I like how you narrowed it down. Some of your choices are things you already know about and can relate to, and others are things you'd like to learn more about. They're broad topics, so you'd have to narrow them down before you start writing, but I'm sure you already knew that and had planned to do so.
I'm leaning more towards #4 or #19, but I gave three options just in case it was needed. What do you think?
4. PTSD - I'd focus on PTSD in/after the military because I believe it's something that's rarely addressed. There are tons of helpful groups/agencies out there that aren't often tapped into. It would be easy to find source material/expert quotes for this one.
19. COVID-19 - I'd focus on the stress surrounding going back to the office, since that's what many employers are pushing for. I'd cover how-to limit exposure to the virus while also performing up to standards. I'd also prob discuss making the hybrid model work for the reader (some days in office, some work days at home).
25. Grief loss/Coping - I'd cover this from the caregiver's point-of-view and would also discuss how hard it is to return to the work force after having a huge gap in employment in order to care for relatives. I mean, they die, right? And who are you when there's no one to look after anymore? I think every caregiver has that realization at some point. Huge routines are built around the person's health issue. What happens when the routine is no longer there.
@GoldenNest2727 I absolutely love all 3 of these angles/in-depth focuses of your top topics.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'll go with the COVID-19 idea for my first article. Thanks for the help!
