Disclaimer: “You” means “ Me/I” It may be depression. Anxiety. A bad relationship. Stress. Grief. Life changes. There are so many different ways our mental health can be affected. But one thing I don’t think many people speak about enough is body dysmorphia. And I’m not talking about just

Original Poem - Just For The Feeling
Addiction isn’t always what we think it is. It’s more than just substances — it can be a feeling, a person, a thrill. I’ve faced my own battles and fears with addiction, and it’s taught me to be aware and cautious. But sometimes, the fear of falling deeper lingers. This poem is my reflection on tha

Mental health is a serious issue, and if you feel yourself slipping into a hole, it's a sign to stop doing these things immediately in order to minimize the damage. It's okay to not be okay, but putting an end to these things until you are right again will make it less painful. 🍷Stop drin

Feeling that your not meant to be a mom💔
This is just how I feel. I know lots of people struggle but we are all different. My mental has exited the building. Everyday I am here I feel no worth. Should I have gotten an abortion? Would it have changed anything? I don’t know. But wouldn’t be where I am.

this picture has been haunting me since the day I found it.
I was always the smallest, skinniest, bony one growing up. My parents used to tell me I had “big eyes” because I’d put so much food on my plate and never finish it. They’d even tell me if I didn’t start eating they were going to send me to the hospital for tests because I looked like a skeleton.
