Mental Monday: Healing Part II

After talking about healing and accepting that we are our own worst enemy at this point. You might be wondering what to do next? Well, I’ll be the first to admit it, if you want to cry for hours on end go right ahead. Let it all out and understand that you want to take...

Mental Monday: Healing Part 1

One of the hardest things about being mentally ill is fighting the battle on your own. No one to turn to because everyone that said that would be there has reached their limit. You want to cry, but you’re all cried out, scream, but nothing won’t come out. Now you’re just sitting down either staring...

Mental Monday Special: Another Month Gone

As we come to a close on Suicide awareness month. I just want to spend some time talking to the ones that have gone down that dark path and survived. The pain you’re going through, trust me I get it. You want the pain to stop on its own, but you’re tired of waiting for...

Mental Monday Special: The Fights, The Defeats, The Victories, and The Healing.

It’s tough dealing with depression and anxiety daily. I know better than anyone that fighting it alone is something that no one should have to do. But we do it anyway, we keep to ourselves and smile away not showing our true pain to the world. Instead, we go home with our smiles no longer...

Mental Monday Special: Therapy…Yes Again!

I used to be a naysayer to these things. I thought what’s the point of paying someone to listen to all your problems when you have friends to do it for you. Well, twenty-year-old me was wrong and stupid; and he didn’t know any better back then. The present me is telling you that there’s...

Mental Monday Special: Toxic Demons

Mental Monday Suicide Awareness Month Special: War

Why is it that we have a war on drugs, terrorism, racism, but not on mental health? We are quick to demonize it to the point we mark it up as another fairy tale. Some will point out that there are many talking about today, even as I’m writing this. This is true nonetheless, but...

Mental Monday: Toxic

We all heard this word before and it’s not a good word to be associated with. But for so long many of us never knew how to identify one, let alone how to deal with it. We try our best to avoid such a thing, and by doing so. We develop paranoia or for the...

Wakanda Forever

When I was a child my uncle wanted me to read comic books. Just to see if I would be interested in them. I mean I was a kid, a book with pictures was easy to get any kid to read, right? But this one was different, so different that I didn’t know what was...

Mental Monday: Getting Older

My birthday is three days away and this year I’ll be turning thirty years old. Yes, I know, I should be grateful to be alive where others will never get to see this age. But I am grateful, it’s just that when I sit here and think about what I have done in my twenties....
