I recently published a piece where I explored why trying to date me is similar to living in a nightmare. Holstering a comorbidity of a few mental illnesses, including bipolar I disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and panic attack disorder just to name a few, I came to the conclusion that my relationships of all kinds (not solely romantic) are not only negatively affected by my erratic mood shifts and abrasive attitude, but can also play a positive role creating the full person I am today.

To quote myself, “Underneath it all and braided throughout, I believe I am a pretty incredible, kind and funny person. I might even dare say smart and delightful, but those things are quite frequently overshadowed.

3 Ways I'm Learning Limitations as Someone With Chronic Illness
There is no flag. No big red line or a flashing sign. “Don’t go past this point, this is as far as you can go” doesn’t exist. Your limitations are just that, yours. It is up to you to understand them and figure them out. What a bum hand, right? This isn’t a story where I will share how to best know your limitations and follow them. I don’t even know my own limitations, so it would be pretty hypocritical to tell you how to do better when I am constantly pushing myself too far. This is a story to tell you that I see you. You’re trying. You want to do better, but hey, how can I play a game if I am blindfolded, and the goal is behind me?

It's Unfair to Assume Kendall Jenner's Privilege Shields Her From Mental Illness
Kendall Jenner recently sat down to do a four-part mental health video series with Vogue magazine to discuss living with an anxiety disorder. It is a struggle she has been openly and publicly discussing since 2016. In the past, she has gone so far as to describe her symptoms as debilitating to the point where she has sometimes felt as if she was dying. She also addressed the backlash she imagines she will face for talking about her mental health struggles as someone who is privileged, pointing out that her lifestyle does not exempt her from bad days:

Mental Health: Why a ‘Bad Trip’ With Ketamine Treatment Isn’t What You Think It Is
It was Wednesday and time for my ketamine treatment. There is a certain amount of routine to getting my treatments. When I started with ketamine I thought I would get the IV treatments once every three months or so. That’s what everything I had read said would happen. Maybe the “treatment-resistant” part of my bipolar disorder applies to ketamine too. I don’t know. In any case, we have determined that every other week works for me. By the beginning of the second week, I start to dip in mood. I can reach suicidal thinking by the time it’s time for the next infusion. We try not to let me get to that place.

Dear World, Please Pay Attention to India's COVID-19 Mental Health Crisis
Maya is a senior citizen, a widow living in a small town in India. Her son’s family lives in a metropolis. So far all of them have stayed safe of COVID-19, and yet all that seems to catch Maya’s eyes in the local newspaper is news about death, medical negligence or deaths by suicide. This gives her sleepless nights and sometimes severe anxiety so much so that she doesn’t talk to even a neighbor from across her lawn.

5 Things You Shouldn't Do or Say to Someone Who Self-Harms
I have struggled with self-harm since I was a kid. Most of us are aware of the tantrums kids put up when they are upset. They hit others, drop to the floor, scream and cry. When I felt overwhelmed by certain emotions, in particular, anger or sadness, I would use my hands to hit my head. I had trouble identifying and regulating my emotions. My primary school counselor told me I had anger management challenges when I shared with her how I found myself unable to control my anger and would hit myself or the wall.

What to Say When Someone Is Dealing With Hard Times
There are a lot of reasons why someone might be struggling and often it is hard to come up with things to say. Most of the time people will say “let me know if there is anything I can do to help,” or “you are in my thoughts and prayers.” Both of those things are acceptable and can help, but there are times when you want to say more, but just don’t know what to say.

What I Want You to Know If You Hide Your Mental Illness on Social Media
I posted a carefully edited black-and-white photo on Instagram the other day of me smiling and carefree, holding my puppy in my arms. The photo reflected someone happy, someone content, someone who appeared to be in a good mood. Someone who appeared to be “OK.” But in reality, because I live with severe (and I mean severe) insomnia, I had only slept for about two hours the night before the picture was taken, and was thus feeling like an exhausted, emotional train wreck. I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown from the buildup of sleepless nights, and I, in no way, was feeling content or calm, despite what my photo suggested.

5 Ways to Support a Loved One With a Mental Illness
Chances are that you know someone who has a mental health condition. It could be a friend, family member, coworker or someone in your faith community. Even with these staggering numbers, we as a society do not receive enough formal education on talking about mental health issues or how to support a friend with a mental health issue. I myself live with a serious mental illness, and I am a family member of someone with a mental health issue, so I have both needed support and offered support to someone else. From both perspectives, I have learned what has been mutually effective for feeling supported and being confident in supporting someone else.

Busting 5 Mental Health Myths
As someone who has been actively engaged in the mental health community on social media for the past few years, I have come across an alarming amount of misconceptions about mental health conditions. Many of these myths either minimize conditions (“Depression is just being sad. Cheer up!”). Others falsely stereotype entire populations (“People with psychosis are ‘crazy’ and violent.”). As someone who has a mood disorder myself, many of the misconceptions personally hurt me. I’d like to speak up about common misconceptions I’ve seen because it is time to fight the lies and illuminate the truth.

I was diagnosed around two years ago, lost a significant amount of weight and was feeling downright miserable. Treatment options are few and far between, expensive and don’t always work or come with nasty side effects. (I’m looking at you, antiemetic medication!)

In the beginning of my college journey, I had undiagnosed schizoaffective disorder which caused me to struggle daily not only with learning, but with just navigating interactions with my professors and peers.
