This piece, titled “Losing Your Mother to Mental Illness”, comes from the incredibly brave Ariana Hegarty, who reflects upon her mother’s bipolar disorder. I’ll never forget our shopping sprees and laughing until our stomachs hurt in the dressing room when something I thought was adorable, looked ridiculous. But as the years go on, the good memories fade […]

I recently came across an article that suggests that anxiety isn’t all that bad. It definitely feels bad, but it could mean greater (verbal) intelligence.

I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the toughest thing I’ve ever done. On good days normal eating is a breeze, I am relaxed and comfortable making nutritious choices and I eat to fullness and then stop. Other days are harder. Although I feel I am at a better place mentally than I have […]
