Merry Covid Christmas
Hi friends!
Long time no write, again, but I have had some struggles with my mental health and when that eased up I had finals to get through. But I am finally done with my first semester back at school and it feels good. I cannot believe how quickly that went by!
I have wanted to write an update many times but had to prioritize my schoolwork and when I wasn’t doing that I felt
Mental Health Update
Hi friends!
Oh my, it’s been a while. I haven’t written anything in a few months but today is World Mental Health Day so I thought it would be the perfect day to get back into writing about how I’ve been doing the last few months.

Not Enough
Hi friends!
This week I have been struggling a bit, mainly with the feeling of not being enough. I got the news that I did not get into one of the schools I really wanted to get into, and the feeling of rejection was a hard pill to swallow.

My Experience Living with Anxiety
Hi!
So, I want to start this post off by being really honest. I’ve been trying to get up the motivation to write this post for a while now, but I went into a pretty deep anxiety hole for a while and just didn’t feel like writing at all.

My Journey to Getting Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism
Hi everyone!
This post is going to be recounting how I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
When I think back on it, I probably felt the earliest symptoms of my illness back in 2014/2015.
