    Managing Depression

    I struggle with depression, and I am currently in a depressive episode. Instead of hiding this, I wanted to be vulnerable, to talk about depression, and share five strategies that I am using to help me get through it. Trigger warning: discussion of suicide and suicidal thoughts. If you are dealing with suicidal thoughts please call or text 988 to speak to someone with the suicide prevention hotline. You are not alone.

    Revisiting Ikigai

    2023 has been a year of constant change, I have not had a normal day since January. When my life feels like too much is going on I can get very overwhelmed, and I begin looking for ways to ground myself. To do that I have been going over my journals, and re-exploring ideas that brought me to where I am and that will help me find my way going forward. One of those is the concept of Ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese term that has gained popularity in recent years for its powerful insights into finding purpose and living a fulfilling life. Since I am reviewing it for myself, I thought I would share my notes with you.

    Dyschronometria

    Time is a funny thing, something that many struggle with, some more than others. Today I am sharing what I learned about Dyschronometria, and how I manage time in my own life as a person with a career, family, and multiple creative pursuits. Here are some of the sources I used while researching this topic: NPR, All Things Considered: “A Woman With Dyschronometria Shares Her Experience Of Losing Track Of Time”, May 18, 2020, https://www.npr.org/2020/05/18/858236566/a-woman-with-dyschronometria-shares-her-experience-of-losing-track-of-time Weissenberger S, Schonova K, Büttiker P, Fazio R, Vnukova M, Stefano GB, Ptacek R.

    Hiding My Dreams=Missed Opportunities

    I am beginning to realize that when I hide my goals, hobbies and who I am, I risk missing opportunities to do new things and find new ways to connect with people. My fear of rejection leads to a lack of connection.
