Ugh. Double ugh. Triple ugh. I. Just. Can't. I look at the mounds of laundry and dusty ceiling fans and poop filled diapers and dirty dishes and grubby hands and bills and budgets and kindergarten registration papers...

Anxious and Alive is one year old. In the beginning, I had a few friends write blogs for the site. I thought I could probably get quite a few people to write, and I could post once in a while when someone felt compelled to share. Soon enough, I was posting a new blog every 2 weeks, one of which brought over a thousand people to the site in the first few months. Then the huge volume of writers started contacting me, and more and more stories started coming in. Some from people I knew, but for the most part strangers who were about to give me- and subsequently hundreds of peoples- a glimpse into the biggest challenges of their lives.  On December 6th, 2015, the popular website BuzzFeed posted a video entitled "Diagnosed". As a part of the website's mental health awareness campaign, this video details the narrator's experience with trying different kinds of medication to treat their anxiety, and subsequent other disorders. One line of this fantastically done video stands out to me in particular:
"The threat of unpredictability is the scariest part when something depressing happens to someone with depression." |
