I feel like crying today. I went to bed late, woke up late, and almost cried as I ran late to work. Not because I was late, but because I was going to work. I don’t feel like that every day, but I do more and more lately. I really enjoy what I do while … Continue reading I’m Depressed and That’s Okay

What You Don’t Know
To whom it may concern, -I feel like a fraud every day, in every situation. Today is no exception. This is no exception. -When I say I'm shy, I mean I have social anxiety. I'm nervous and uncomfortable just being around people most of the time. -My mental health is pretty good now, but it … Continue reading What You Don’t Know
365 Days of Self Love
One year ago yesterday I started out on a journey of self love. I struggled a lot with my body image and self-esteem, and I even found it difficult for me to eat at times, so I knew something needed to change. With this revelation, I laid out a plan called 365 days of self … Continue reading 365 Days of Self Love
Anxiety is Not an Accessory
https://youtu.be/qr2wrpvdvlI Hi, my name's Amanda, and I have anxiety...do you? You, looking for a way to stand out, thinking this will make people care about you. It won't. Being a good person will.

Good Days Aren’t Always Easy
I'm sure if you tried you could picture what is to you the perfect day: nothing standing in your way, nothing can go wrong (was that just Elle Woods?), but what if I told you your perfect day could come in the form of struggling and nervousness? Here's a better quote: "I'm not telling you … Continue reading Good Days Aren’t Always Easy
The One Where Mental Illness is No Joke

You don't want to read about me not at my best, and the post I had planned for today that had nothing to do with my lack of emotional well-being, well, I didn't plan … Continue reading The One Where Mental Illness is No Joke
200 Days of Self Love
I've spent a fair few blog posts documenting my troubles with self love, which led to the decision last Valentine's Day to try an exercise called 365 Days of Self Love. It mostly is what it sounds like, unless you have a very dirty mind about everything: every night I write down in my journal one … Continue reading 200 Days of Self Love
The One Where I’m Anxious
Anxiety is new for me. I've only had it for about a year now, and it's like not being able to do things you used to as easily. I don't get panic attacks, I just...get tired and anxious and uncomfortable and need to be alone in a secure place. This trip should have been easy … Continue reading The One Where I’m Anxious
Finally Okay With Food
Food is...complicated. Most of us admittedly don't have the healthiest relationship with it, and for that we aren't our healthiest. Be it because we eat our feelings or we feel like we shouldn't eat at all, food almost always seems to end up as the enemy; food is not the enemy. It's taken me a … Continue reading Finally Okay With Food
100 Days of Self Love
