My Journey
Ok, so we are going to talk about mental health. The word itself automatically makes me feel sectioned to the other side of the room. How about, How are you ? How are you feeling? These days everything seems to have a name, and a medicine to go with it. Great that may seem, but in life there really is no easy fix if you want lasting wellness. Action must be taken. I don't know what it may be with me, be it pride or ego. I just found it so hard to accept I was struggling. I have now learned to accept its okay to not be OK. I get it; every case is different, and as individuals we are all wired differently—this is our uniqueness. But hey, this is me, and this is my journey, and this is the way I want to deal with how I am feeling.

We won't make it out alive on this rollercoaster that is life... but wouldn’t it be nice to avoid self destruction?

Mental Health and Your Home Environment
Mental health is a tricky thing. It’s certainly incredibly important—few things matter as much to both our long-term health and our immediate daily lives. But most of us don’t pay enough attention to our mental health. In many cases, we’re not considering the little things that surround us and impact our mental health for better or for worse, like our own homes.
