Fighting for Sanity
Photo taken by contributor Jaeda DeWalt, a conceptual self-portrait artist in her forties from Seattle, Washington. Jaeda’s battles with mental illness hearken back to her earliest memories, at age 4, when she became obsessed with the number four and performed exhaustive rituals in patterns of four. She struggled with her mental health throughout her childhood and teen years until her late twenties when […]

My Little Princess
I could hardly see through the stream of tears, but that shade of red that covered my hands was all too familiar for me to not know what it was. It happened again. I thought I was over this, I thought we had fixed this issue. I suppose not. All I could see around me […]

Anxiety is
Anxiety is my 3yo niece biting her arm when she’s uncomfortable because she doesn’t know how to react Anxiety is my mom pulling her fingers through her hair until I hold her hand to stop her when she has too many things to do and not enough time Anxiety is my dad trying to close […]
Self-doubt, rejection, and direction.
Some people will tell you to never show others your weaknesses, it makes you vulnerable; I say fuck that. I have looked my demons right in the face and snarled back.

The Long Road to Recovery
I felt it was about time for an update. A lot has happened, a lot stays the same. I still have depression and anxiety, but things have improved here and there. I do not spend every day in bed, every day is not a struggle. I actually have times where I feel hopeful, I have […]

Have Anxiety? Avoid Sugar. Here’s Why.

Justifying Crazy: What I Haven’t Told Anyone About My Mental Illnesses
*This article may contain triggering content. Readers view at their own discretion. It was at age fourteen, as we left the doctor’s office with a spare K10 test, a diagnosis of three mental illnesses, a referral to a psychologist and a prescription for Fluoxetine, that my parents said “it’s probably best to keep quiet about […]
Anxiety speaks
Song of the day: “Hey Alice” – Rachel Rose Mitchell I’m feeling restless, and it won’t go away. I’m trying to find something to do to ease the anxiety. Colour in a colouring book? No. Knitting? No. People who can actually ease their anxiety through such activities can’t have very severe anxiety. I’ll probably get […]

Battles
So today I’ve been melancholy and fragile, wandering about like a shadow and trying really hard not to think too deeply about anything lest I break into tears. And the worst part is that I am at work. I was sitting in my office thinking about how joyless my state of being is and I […]
