I heard a commercial on the radio asking for egg donors, but you had to be 32 or younger. I was 32. I had already been thinking of having a child and had gotten divorced because I wanted a baby, and my partner did not.

In the moment I heard the commercial, I thought, “I am running out of time; I need to have a baby now.” I first turned to my mental health treatment team and asked them if they thought it would be OK for me to go off my medications for bipolar disorder to get pregnant.

They gave me the green light with no hesitation. Just warned that I could not go back on them while I was pregnant. I did not think to ask if I would have any repercussions from going off the medication or what I was going to do if my bipolar symptoms surfaced.

Will I Ever Be Able to Sleep Again?
When I was a kid, my dad would rub my head, pulling my hair back and down until I fell asleep. As an adult, I count sheep, calm my breathing, and think of happy places until I am void of happiness. One hour, two, three, even four of telling myself sleeping shouldn’t be this hard. Sleeping should be bliss; it should be one thing I can look forward to after a long day of nothing but stress.

5 Tips for Accepting Your New Diagnosis
In our culture, receiving a new diagnosis can sometimes feel like a defining label. There is so much stigma around health and disability, and it can be daunting to try to wrap our minds around receiving a new diagnosis. I have multiple mental and physical illnesses that I am still working on accepting, but I have also found a way to prioritize my health without letting my illnesses define me. I still struggle with the stigma surrounding health (mental illness especially) each day, but I have come to realize that I am not alone, and neither are you.

She quotes a study that despite decades of economic growth, men and women are no happier than they had been.Life’s too full of blessings to waste time and attention on artificial substitutes.

The Health Benefits of Having an Annual Eye Exam
Many people will remember to go for a mammogram or to a dentist’s office to have their teeth cleaned but will never schedule an appointment with their eye doctor to have a regular eye exam. Your eye health is equally important if you want to achieve overall health. Eye doctors recommend that you should go for eye exams even if you’re convinced that you have perfect vision with no family history of eye problems. Several benefits are associated with regular eye exams at the doctor’s office. Below are the advantages of regular checkups with an optometrist.

No Regrets Dating With Hidradenitis Suppurativa
As if dating isn’t complicated enough, it’s even more difficult as a woman living with HIV. But when you add a disease like hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) to the mix, the dating scene can even be more frightful. HS is an inflammatory, chronic skin condition that presents with boil-type nodules in areas of the body where sweat glands reside — in other words, some of the most intimate spots. To best describe the emotional toll that HS has taken on my dating life, I decided to share a letter that I wrote to my HS.

What I Want People to Know About My Tardive Dyskinesia Diagnosis
Just a few years ago, my life was relatively calm and stable — or at least as much as it could be with bipolar disorder. I was managing my mental health with both medication and talk therapy, but the biggest challenge was finding the right medication to stabilize my mood without exacerbating my other conditions. The cornerstone to my medication regimen was an antipsychotic, which was also found to be effective in stabilizing mood disorders. After trying close to a dozen different options without positive results — and in some cases, detrimental effects — this antipsychotic did wonders for my mood. I really can’t put into words how much my life improved with it.

What Living With Conversion Disorder Has Taught Me
When I was 17, my body stopped being able to digest food properly. Everything would either cause excruciating pain or make me nauseous and I’d throw up. Sometimes the pain would get so bad that it would cause nausea. I went through test after test to try and find the root cause, but nothing came up. “It might just be stress,” I was told. For a while, I was sustaining myself on Gatorade and protein shakes. The doctors settled on diagnosing me with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Even if you consider yourself musically challenged, the ukulele is a very accessible instrument, and you can begin learning how to play music right away. When I first picked up the ukulele, I thought it was so cool that I was already playing simple songs with one or two fingers the first night. But what I did not know was how incredibly healing it would be.
