For the past three years, I’ve been going to therapy instead of going back on Lexapro, mostly to just deal with having to adjust with stressful/depressing life changes. But since going to grad school, I feel like I can’t tell my parents I’m still seeing a therapist, because after the year my anxiety got really bad,…

I eventually got off Lexapro, because even smaller doses were making me way too groggy once I was able to control my anxiety enough to not have panic attacks, but I’m open to going back on it, maybe. I did just make an appointment with student mental health services though, so I think therapy is kind of my go to for…

Also, like half the time I see a celebrity either on the street, in a restaurant, and one time even a donation based yoga class, i’m either running late or too busy doing my own thing to try to talk to them. I just tweet about it later. :P

One time, I read them when I was working a night shift at a women’s shelter, and was the only employee on duty. That was a bad idea.

Yeah, like, if I were being honest with myself, my views align much more with the Green Party, but if they ever want my vote, they have to have a more qualified candidate than Jill Stein (and also should never nominate someone who sympathizes with anti-vaxxers again).

Right?! My favorite comedians are the ones that talk about politics, or even better, social justice issues in their show. Comedy is good catharsis when being barraged with all of the injustice of the world becomes too much to handle and threatens to make you numb to all of it, so yeah, I want my comedians to make fun…

I haven’t worked for the federal government, but as a grad student, I do have access to student health services that are right on campus, and thus a 5 minute walk from my apartment. However, between the confusing with insurance coverage (I could probably get everything covered, but maybe not), and the fact that PP…

I’m sorry that happened to you! I went to my school’s health services during the spring semester, since I saw online that they actually do IUD insertions, which I thought would be super convenient since my apartment is like a 5 minute walk from school. Then. when I went for an appointment, 1) I found out that I might…

At least one of my uncles is voting for Trump, though I’m not sure if the one who is married to a Latina (my aunt) is voting for him or going for a third party this time around. However, one of my uncles on my not Latino side of the family is voting for Trump, because he considers him to be the lesser of two evils.…

They’re actually pretty good!

The picture at the top of this article really makes me want a cupcake, but since I don’t have any, I’ll probably have some Oreos.

Oh god, this week was so exhausting, so part of me is glad I just got through it. I guess a good thing that happened is that I learned how to lead in salsa and I’m not terrible at it.

Sending hugs!

They’re also in the town where I went to high school, which is like 5 minutes away from my hometown, so I’ve already told my parents that there’s no way in hell I’m going home to visit now.

My high school had so many bomb threats during my freshman year, that the administration stopped evacuating us, unless there was some sort of indication that it actually wasn’t a hoax, because they would have to extend the school year if they kept ending the school day early. And then there was the time during 11th…

People said similar things when Peter Liang shot and killed Akai Gurley in NYC, although after awhile, Liang ended up getting off pretty easily, just not as quickly or quite as punishment free as the white cops. =/

I’m more okay with conservatives voting for Gary Johnson since it was doubtful they would ever consider voting for Hillary anyway, and by voting for johnson, they’re taking votes away from trump. However, liberals voting for him scares me. I mean, my views align more with Bernie than Hillary, but that also means that…

I haven’t really had awful roommates, but I had great roommates in college, for the most part, and three of them are still some of my closest friends, and I feel like no rooming situation will ever compare to how great living with them was. Which, like, I’m okay with, I don’t need my current or future roommates to be…

Lol, I have social anxiety and overanalyze things, but mostly this means that I spend like 10 minutes wondering if my roommate hates me because I asked her to take out the trash or asked her to wash her dishes because they had been sitting in the sink all week.

I know a social worker who thinks people on welfare are lazy. It baffles me how people working in healthcare and/or social services can still completely lack empathy for people who very likely will be using the services they provide. I mean, I know constantly seeing trauma can make people feel burnt out and numb to…
