Admiring others

I have been admiring, and inspired by many people recently, especially women that have achieved things that I would love to achieve, but that seem impossible for me to achieve. I am self-conscious, I doubt myself, and probably I feel more confident when I perform "bad" (according to myself) than when I do well… maybe … Continue reading Admiring others →

New year, new dreams, new thoughts. Gratitude

Hello dear reader, I wish you a happy new year 2023. Today I want to reflect about this past year. I went through a lot of new experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant.

Healthy mind

I don't know if you have read my previous posts, but I've been describing how depressed I feel. I tried really hard for about a year to overcome the loophole of negative that drowns me.

Looking for introverts

Today I was looking for a post to read. I wanted to hear stories about people like us, the unknown readers and writers. Us, who consider writing a hobby and perhaps a passion, but that prefer or maybe involuntary remain hidden.

Post-Pandemic Depression (could it be?)

I am not sure if I can say we are over the COVID-19 pandemic, but since cases are lower and many people have already been vaccinated it is probably that we are safer. However, now it looks like there's a new pandemic, a mental health one. I see everywhere people depressed, in person, among my … Continue reading Post-Pandemic Depression (could it be?) →

Recognizing the Goodness in Life

What are we?

I wonder how our mind works, and how different the thought process is from one person to another. I wonder what goes in your mind, you person reading this. What do you think when you are in the shower or in the gym treadmill, or what crosses your mind when you listen to your favorite … Continue reading What are we? →

Anxiety

I don't like anxiety because it feels like being trapped in your own head. I don't like feeling trapped. Perhaps I am afraid of that feeling, and that is the reason for my unlike ability of routine. Routine for me is a threat because it makes me feel bored, and disengaged, and if I feel … Continue reading Anxiety →

So this is how depression feels like

It's been a week already. At first I thought it was jetlag, after my vacation. Then I thought it might be covid, then pregnancy. I could be thinking of more and more explanations but so far it feels like depression. I couldn't get up from my bed one day, I did not brush my teeth, … Continue reading So this is how depression feels like →
