I am interested in writing content about anxiety. The reason being I've suffered with awful anxiety for several years now. And I feel people do not know what a broad spectrum anxiety really is.
I would love to share more about anxiety with others, so people like me who suffer with anxiety are not misunderstood or prejudiced.
@alex000
Thank you for sharing! I love how you want to contribute your experience because anxiety is a broad spectrum. I agree with the fact that most people often don't understand how varied anxiety can be!
@usefulSummer3139
Thank you for the good feedback
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'd love to contribute to the content focus area, "Anxiety." This is because I have first-hand experience with anxiety symptoms and the role of medication and other coping mechanisms in treating anxiety.

I would like to learn about learning disabilities due to living with some
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I’m interested in developing content for body image and self-esteem because I believe that a vast majority of us struggle with body image no matter what size we are in, and that significantly influences our self-esteem. I am keen to explore more about its stigma, factors/aspects, and ways to promote it. This is something, not just I, but many of the people around me have struggled/are struggling with, hence, I hope to make content to educate someone in this area.
@sshn07
With social media promoting unrealistic ideas about body image, more content on this topic would surely help a lot of people. I remember being called fat when I was underweight for a short period of time and there were times when I would skip meals because I felt fat. While my experience wasn't anything serious, having people who were promoting the idea of healthy bodies or being body positive online in the right way helped me.
A really good topic choice!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I would like to
develop content regarding Emotional Abuse. I think emotional abuse is often
brushed off as culture, tradition, and those sorts of things. There were, and
still are, instances in my life where I fail to recognise emotional abuse or
recognise it but feel helpless about what to do about it.
I have always
felt knowing what is happening and understanding the whys and hows, helps me
cope better. I believe this would be the same for others as well.
Anxiety is also another topic I would like to write on as it is something
everybody experiences in everyday life.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I would like to write on sexual abuse and the survivor's story. I feel that I am very well qualified to write on this subject from my own personal experiences.
@scarletPear1945
I think that @Phoenixtears has a great idea on what she wants to write content on and a much-deserved topic.
@scarletPear1945
This is also a very vital topic that should not be overlooked . There are people out there who are victims , that do not have anyone to reach out to as a result of so many factors.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I am interested in the areas of Anxiety , PTSD , Relationships and couples , stress , grief and loss , helping teens and emotional abuse since these are something I have personal experience with and myself being a victim of these issues, I think I can understand these areas well enough to create content on them.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I wish there was one for disability - is that not an option? :(
@FrenchMarbles
yes that is a topic sweetie.
Good luck on your journey! And i hope the article goes great for you

i am interested in writing content for addiction because i have alot of knowledge from living the horrible experience/being on both sides of it, recovery and helping others. I feel writing this will help more people understand the disease of addiction and how to acheive recovery.
