Second Life
The wind was sharp as knives against the bare parts of his face. The man tugged at the loose hanging edges of his scarf, tightening it. With every step the blistering cold night air pierced its way through the multiple layers of clothing he had tightly packaged himself in. Her could feel his fingers and toes start to burn despite the handmade knit socks and gloves he wore. His mother had made them for him two christmases ago.

The Art of Puking in Public Restrooms
There is an art to puking in public restrooms. To start, you must wear average, boring, unrecognizable shoes. If you work in an office building, you must alternate which floor and restroom you use. In the event you run into another person more than once, you must gently pat your stomach and wink.

Anxiety in the Workplace
I generally think of anxiety as this figure in the dark recesses of my mind. I'll have really good days where I'm on fire for projects and ready to do my best in the workplace, and then anxiety will come from the shadows as though to ask the question, "Remember me?"

I Am Not My Mental Illness
Hello my fellow readers and writers! I am new to blogging and too this platform so I thought that I would take a quick minute to introduce myself, before hopping into this article. For starters my name is Sierra and I'm 16 years old. I am from a small town in Michigan and along with being an aspiring journalist. How my Friday nights go is staying home watching Hulu or reading a book that I got from a local bookstore. Photography is another passion of mine. When I can't find the words to express something I use an image to capture my emotions. I go to a small one hallway high school that is full of drama and raging hormones. Sounds fun, right? You could say that I am a total nerd. One would come to the conclusion that I am your typical teenager. Well enough about me let's jump in to this article.

Is It Okay to Disclose Mental Illness at Work?
If you have a mental illness and work at either a paid job or a volunteer gig, chances are at some point you'll be faced with the question of whether to disclose your mental illness at work, and if so, how much. While employers may not be legally allowed to discriminate, the possibility of negative repercussions is still very real.

Find What Makes You Human
In the film, Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence’s character Tiffany describes herself as “not a very good dancer” but that “it’s therapy and it’s fun.” The first time I saw the film, this line spoke to me. I related to her, because it made her depression a bit more bearable. I have a YouTube channel, where I’ve talked a few times about self care, and found myself using this sentiment as advice recently. I found myself advising people to find a passion to help them through anxiety. Writing had basically saved my sanity and honing it has been the best medicine. But who was going to see that? My channel has 52 subscribers and averages 15 views per video, so who was I really talking to?
