Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (also known as PTSD) is a disorder I never knew I could relate myself too. However, after a massive incident, it forced me to realize how real and how critical this mental disorder could impact someone.

Depression, Suicidal thoughts without wanting to Harm
Bell Let’s Talk is back. It is a day, as you can remember from last year, that is really important to me. Now…I am about to go on a touchy subject. But, it has been one that has been bothering me for a long time. Last year I talked about my struggles with anxiety and…
Being an athlete with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
So, today it was (rumoured) that a top athlete (Montreal Canadiens Goalie: Carey Price) was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome back in November. And from all the websites, posts, media etc., everyone was making fun of the illness and saying it was from “Carrying the team on his back,” etc. What people don’t realize….
Adrenal Fatigue Reload
The past few weeks I have been over tired. I think it started before Christmas. In December when I started a new job and my hours have been all over the place and I have not been able to keep up. Some days have been 1-2 hours of working. Other days I work 12-15. And…
Leaving Out-Patient Rehab: Cravings, temptations, continued program, anxiety and stomach ulcers
I have left the out-patient rehab program for my Binge Eating Disorder about two months ago. This rehab program was a shorter one, but I went in willingly and since it was my own choice I found it easier to go through. While I was there, I learnt a whole lot about myself and what…
Trapped in a World Pool of Thoughts
So…It seems like my last few posts have been about the mental state. But I honestly think the mental state determines a lot in someones health. Is it normal for someone to cry every night for absolutely no reason? I mean start off on the verge of tears and all of a sudden they…
Headaches/Migraines- Normal or Not?
Lately. I have been getting these massive headaches. Ones that I can’t even describe to someone. It is sharp stabbing, throbbing pain that is over my right eye and that side of my head. The narrow visions I have before it happens. The nausea, throwing up, body sweats…it’s all getting more progressive. If anyone knows…
Depression: Thoughts, Actions, Being worthless!
This is probably going to be one of the hardest posts I have ever had to write. But one that I need to get off my chest before it eats me up. Mental Illness is probably one of the biggest silent killers there is in the world. Yet one that nobody really knows how to…
Biggest Mistake – Humira
Ankylosing Spondylitis has been a journey on it’s own. With all the treatments I was going through and some were little to not working at all. My doctor suggested Humira. An injection that I would inject myself with once a week, every two weeks. Looking for any sort of relief I gave in and I…
Relapse and Journey to (ED) Rehab-
As many of you noticed. These past few weeks have been extremely tough. For those who don’t know, or have missed the past few posts. I have completely relapsed with the binge eating disorder. I spent days/weeks trying to play it off saying everything was okay. When clearly it wasn’t. I tried to go to…
Mental Illness and Complete relapse of Eating Disorder
Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day. A way to end stigma about Mental Health. And how it is taboo to talk about Mental Health. If you’ve been following this website you know the struggles I’ve been going through. I suffer from high anxiety which has been getting better. But sometimes I hit the point where…
