Haha, older, wiser messes. I could have written this post myself! I have ignored my mental health for such a long time, its amazing the progress I have made with the things I have read here in a few short weeks. To find a place like this exists where I can talk openly about my anxiety and get...

Congratulations! My husband and I both want to quit but have been unable to stick to it! I have been smoking for about 15 years and I hate the example I'm setting for my kids. I am so mad at myself letting this get the better of me. Everyone says cold turkey is the best way to go, I'm encouraged...

This is my vice as well! I finally had to uninstall & hide the apps to keep me focused so I can only watch on my TV. I even had to take my social media & game apps off my work laptop because it was so easy to get distracted just checking a notification and going down the instahole.

I have had good results using apps with binaural beats to help me reduce anxiety and fall asleep. There is a theory that you can influence your mental performance by changing the length of your brainwaves by listening to these binaural beats or tones. I recommend trying "Relax Melodies: Sleep...

Jay05, you are exactly right! I'm blowing the unknown factor way out of proportion. Sometimes it takes someone else to get you out of your own head. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and write such a pragmatic response, I will definitely ask myself these questions before overthinking...

It's instinctual. Rooted deep within our subconscious by eons of survival of only the fittest. But how do we control primal instincts in a world of instantaneous consequence. We cloak them in colloquialisms like "ghosting", when in reality, it is our most basic primal instinct to take flight...

Every. Single. Day. My weight has always been the main focus but i started the keto diet and was successful in losing 35 lbs but somehow still see the same person on the mirror. The more weight comes off, the more I obsess with saggy skin and wrinkles. I have tried reciting positive mantras to...

My go to trick is writing it down. Keeping notes sounds obvious, but often I won't even read it again. Just the act of writing out the details of a task for event helps me recall them, long after I've misplaced the note 😂

I really put myself out there this time. I shared an embarrassing personal injury in a social media campaign, in an effort to win the dental care I need. I had gone to great lengths to hide myself from the world since i busted my front teeth out and can't afford the $4k fix. But my kids entered...

I saw some guru insist that making your bed would change your life. I scoffed, but I tried it. Its surprisingly effective. Starting your day by completing the task sets a good tone of accomplishment & seeing it neatly made instead of a messy pile makes me feel like a more put-together person, a...

Thanks for your response, it's a great feeling knowing I have helped someone on my first post! I would like to know if others have found any tools that work for managing social media in a healthy way, other than moderation or complete avoidance, which in my case just leads to fomo (fear of...

My friend recently deleted her Facebook at the advice of her therapist. She was spending so much time comparing her daily life to the Facebook highlights of others lives, it was robbing her of any joy in her own personal accomplishments. Dont let comparison be the thief of your joy today, friends.

When i cant get out of bed, music always works. When I hit writer's block, I try to skip ahead to a part I know I want to get out. Often I get stuck on how to comminicate a specific idea, so skipping ahead and working backwards often works the problem out for me. Kind of reverse engineering...

Im excited to see this topic! I read an article about how beneficial this can be for depression and anxiety, so I started by walking barefoot daily around my property to enable myself to soak up the positive ions from the soil. I love to hike so I am working my way up to a barefoot hike in the...
