    November 24, 2019

    I’m a recent grad with a Health Sciences degree who is facing difficulties with slowing down. Does there need to always be something I am working on? Do I need to always be working on all of my projects? Keeping on top of everything? Growing and improving in measurable ways? It feels like my mind…

    Not Everyone Suffers From Mental Illness, But Everyone Has Mental Health #GetLoud

    May 7, 2018

    Extremely common and damaging misconceptions: I have good mental health. After all, I don’t have a mental illness. People with mental illness and myself are fundamentally different. I don’t need to go out of my way to be kinder to myself or practice meditation or whatever. I don’t have a mental illness, so why should…

    April 2, 2018

    Alright, Nico. Why are you sitting around in bed? How useless. You’re wasting your time. Again. Why can’t you control your own thoughts and emotions? You know, rationally, that nothing will come of moping around all day. And yet. And yet. These are words I spoke to myself just the other day. I was having…

    Challenging cognitive distortions – a guide for students

    11 Cognitive Distortions for Students

    February 5, 2018

    I’m a university student in a program that has an admission requirement of a 90% average from grade 12 in high school. I absolutely love my program, but I have heard oh so often from my mental health professionals that it is a breeding ground for mental health issues. I attribute it to the fact…

    Abandonment – Overcoming the Fear

    January 31, 2018

    “The reality, Nicole, is that although your thoughts are not completely rational and are definitely cognitively distorted, there is an element of truth to them this time.” I had spent three weeks ruminating endlessly on these thoughts that I shared with my psychiatrist, only to hear that statement from him. I knew that I wouldn’t…

Life is unpredictable, It changes with the seasons Life is unpredictable,
It changes with the seasons,
Even your coldest winter,
Happens for the best of reasons,
And though it feels eternal,
Like all you’ll ever do is freeze,
I promise spring is coming,
And with it, brand new leaves.
~ e.h (not my poem)

This has been a comfort to me in this turbulent period of my life. I keep this near me as a reminder that spring is coming, no matter what. 🌸
