MENTAL HEALTH INSIGHTS |
|
Last month, I finally decided to start a fitness program by Blogilates (#hotbodysummersculpt). What prompted this was my recent weight gain after munching a lot and consuming a lot of alcohol during an anniversary getaway.

This is an update on the podcast episode, “Eat Your Heart Out Dr. John Doe”. In it, she shares her traumatic experience with her psychiatrist and the lasting effects of it. If you haven’t listened to it, I would highly encourage doing so before reading this blog post.

We often quite unknowingly dismiss anxiety as some sort of worrisome problem that people have. Unfortunately, I have been one of these people that presumed that anxiety was just another way of informing others about stress.
I used to think that I do not have the “capacity” to be mentally ill or have any sort of mental health issues. I thought having mental health problems only comes in form of being in a psych ward and having to take medications such as anti-depressants. College made me realize this is not at all what mental health is all about.
The words "we are living in unprecedented times" continue to haunt me during these times of uncertainty and doubt. Sifting and sorting through multiple articles. Fact checking left and right. Washing my hands thoroughly in a panic. Wondering when I will ever return to work again.
I’ve been feeling an overwhelming amount of emotional pain. I know a lot of people share my sentiment, no matter who they are. It’s impossible for me to not think about George Floyd 24/7 (and Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Iyanna Dior, Tony McDade, and countless others), which of course can affect one’s mental health but we can’t look away.
