Why do so many people get sick during the holiday season ? Nobody likes being sick during the holidays, especially in a hospital. Nobody likes working overtime during the holidays either, unable to see their families when they should be together most. Unfortunately, there ain't no rest for the weary, so nurses and healthcare professionals everywhere spend so much of their December working till all hours of the night. It's so cruel that there's an increase in hospitalizations and illnesses durin…

Extra baggage is extra expensive.

It kind of feels like ADHD discourse has been at an all-time high. Everyone on Twitter seems to be discussing the disorder, and our advertisements on other social media sites always seem to do with acquiring medication for the issue, or receiving counseling for it. There's a reason for this. Over the past few years, it's become clear that attention deficit disorder manifests itself in many different ways - it's not just feeling fidgety or having a poor attention span. I recently was diagnosed m…

It can be tough

My attention span lasts exactly as long as this list of memes, anyway.

Sorry I'm late.

I'M TOTALLY FINE.

We all have mental health, but some of us have less mental health than others. Conversations around mental illness often focus on more socially acceptable diagnoses. Anxiety and depression are not only extremely common but also widely discussed. In a way, they've almost become completely destigmatized conditions. It's kind of wild how much more socially acceptable to talk about these things now. Back when boomers were growing up, it was incredibly hush-hush. Nowadays, everyone's on Lexapro, and…

Does it always feel like you're just hanging onto your last shreds of sanity by a thread? Do you feel like the tiniest change in plans could just send you absolutely reeling and over the edge? There's also the possibility that you're so used to the lack of serotonin and dopamine that you feel nothing at all. Well, these memes are for you. Between the seasonal depression that's building as every day grows shorter, and the regular depression, ADHD, anxiety, and other mental afflictions, life can…

Am I the drama?

The weekend is too far away, per usual.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is no joke

The best form of therapy

Denial is a safe place to chill in

I've got a real case of the Mondays. Some might say that that is an incredibly corny way of saying that “I'm tired and over it,” and to that I say, you're absolutely correct. I am here to reclaim dad culture by self-diagnosing myself with a bonafide case of the day of the week Garfield the cat hates most. I think I hate Mondays more now that I'm an adult. When I was in college, I was doing homework all of the time anyways, so it didn't matter as much what day of the week it was. As far as I cou…

As a wise person once said, everybody has mental health . That much might be true, but unfortunately, not everybody has good mental health. Before we are born, we are entered into the mental health genetic lottery, and while some of us come out unscathed, those with a sweet, sweet history of mental illness will likely come out extremely scathed. The worst part about having mental health issues is that everybody thinks they're experts on how to help you. People roll out lethargic advice all the…
