It has been awhile since my last blog post. My Etsy shop has been keeping me busy but I want to make sure I keep this blog alive! It is important to me because it has been helping me manage my anxiety and I have loved connecting with other people who struggle with their mental health too. I have a… Continue reading Magnesium Are My New Happy Pills
I have been reading way too much news. I know you can’t believe everything out there. I know a lot of it is fake or at least sensationalized BUT I can’t stop reading it and feeling anxious. Before I didn’t worry so much about politics and now I’m obsessed about all the changes that are… Continue reading My Trump Anxiety
I completed the process of weaning myself off of Zoloft. You can read my previous blog post about this HERE. Since I completely stopped taking Zoloft I have had some slight withdrawal symptoms; including some physical sensations like increased headaches and long lasting nausea.

For the most part I feel like I have my anxiety under control right now. It is still there, however, lingering in the shadows, ready to pounce at unsuspecting moments.

These are some of the… Continue reading Meditation For Anxiety
My therapist has been encouraging me to open up about my anxiety. Something that is very anxiety producing for me is my fear of having a panic attack in front of people.

How many hours have I spent worrying about having a panic attack? I can’t even begin to calculate but I know it’s in… Continue reading Worst Case Scenario When Having A Panic Attack
I joined a playgroup when my first born was 6 months old and I met with them once a week until she turned three and went off to preschool. After that we have continued to meet, just not as frequently. The other day we met for the first time in a few months. I have… Continue reading I Had A Panic Attack In My Kids Playgroup
I recently flew from Philly to Nashville and I am happy to say I didn’t have my usual panic attack while flying. I hadn’t flown in 4 years so I was very nervous about how I would handle this flight.
