I think that helps! I usually just try and wait out what I impulsively want to snap back with!

I have ADHD and I never thought I did. Mostly because the clinical diagnosis of the DSM5 says things like, “People with ADHD have trouble organizing, listening, or don’t like homework or work”. These things are hard to measure when you don’t realize you are having to work harder than others, or don’t realize how easy listening is for neurotypical people. It doesn’t help when you are…

I went to a tiny mountain college. I was just climbing out of a major depressive episode in High School and I wasn’t even sure I could survive four years at a university. I managed. One of the only and best friends I established from those four years was a Republican, and I was a raging Liberal.

At first, we didn’t really notice or care about politics. We were both so desperate for friendship that we would have taken in literally anyone. The friendship was too good to pass up and over the years it continued to grow stronger and…

How I changed my entire behavior in 20 minutes a day

I have always lived with my parents or roommates. On top of that, I have always had my own room. Or as I like to call it, my own cave to hide in as I please.

Why did they always ask when my last period was, if not to figure out their irregularity?

Flash forward to me being in my doctor's…

I have ADHD and I have talked about it, a lot. ADHD shaped my life mostly because I didn’t medicate it for so long. It wasn’t until I finally medicated my ADHD that I realized how debilitating and pervasive it had been to me in my life. After finally treating my ADHD, I became a whole new person for several reasons. One of those ways I renewed myself? I became better with my money.

I was a bargain b*tch. A sale girl. A “but it’s only $5” girl. I went shopping when I was bored, sad, lonely, or happy. I…

They say ignorance is bliss, but it’s also deadly. We wonder about these high rates of cancer, while corporations lie to us about what is causing our sicknesses, as I will go into in this article. There are a few key products to be especially mindful of. They are pans, mugs, clothing, makeup, body products, and furniture. You know, just a few of the items we use in our homes. …
