Almost 2 years ago, she yearned for love . Coming out of something more than toxic . Abuse , pain , confusion, it was all a wreck. You ever wish you could get a slight preview of what you’re getting yourself into before actually getting into it ? Yeah .. that was her. In fact she’d scroll her page , Oh ! And yes I mean her , she loved women , just as much as women claimed they love her. Continuing on , she’d scroll her page and view her past , past as in others before her , what she likes , what she’s into just everything anyone would want to know about someone they had their interest in . She was pretty cool . Her name was Alice . See Alice loves social media , she love making people laugh and just notice her , and what she could do. She as in Porcha realized Alice pain , no attention, past trauma and so on but there wasn’t anything Porcha could not fix .

If you can go back in time.
I know. Is a very cliché question. If you can go back in time what would you change about yourself? I use to have this question in the back of my mind whenever I have scramble eggs and coffee. The coffee always remind me that I am older and the scrambles always remind me that I might have high cholesterol. This is one of the question that I personally feel like we need to ask ourselves at least once a month.

Mental Health:
In school we learn things like the alphabet, how to spell, how to use a calculator - The basic things we need to know to function in life. But sadly, there is one pivotal thing very few people are taught. That thing is psychology. Many people go through life without truly understanding themselves or other people. They don’t know how to think well or manage their emotions. Most people don’t know that change or that improvement in mental health is possible.

Journey of a Person with Disability
Non-profits that counsel such as EastHouse and non-profits that treat such as Rochester Rehab aiding clinics and hospitals in treating people with disabilities. This is what families, friends, and people with disabilities should be researching and searching for because life coaches can provide motivation and inspiration to overcome illnesses. Sudden fear overwhelms us all but it is a meditation on the positivity that bridges the gap to hope. We cannot be afraid to ask for help and get help on things that are important to us. We must let nothing stop us from reaching our goals because our goals define us and our lives.

Battling Winter's Woes
Taking the dog for a walk before work has become a chore. Gone are the bright sunny mornings of spring and summer, where we could go on an early morning walk in short sleeves or a light jacket, accompanied by the tweeting of birds and the warmth of the morning sun on our faces. We are now into the season of gloves, hats, and big parkas zipped right up. Instead of feeling invigorated and healthier for taking a dawn stroll, we are now sauntering through the darkness, drizzle and fog, and spending most of it yawning and wondering why on earth 6 am now feels like 3 am.

3 Things to Get Your Mind Off Your Agoraphobia
As you know, we've been working together on our agoraphobia for a little while now and again, I'm doing this series because I'm hitting the decade mark for my diagnosis (thanks doc, it really helped to know). I'm not going to lie to you when I say that I had never even heard of the word when I was first diagnosed, I had never heard of either of my anxieties: agoraphobia and hypochondria. But, I am not going to lay down dead and do nothing but pop pills for the rest of my life. And there is no reason you should too. Your medication is very important but it can only go so far. Other things you should do is practice some habits that you can use to get your mind off those intrusive thoughts.

5 Self-talk Mantras for When You're Panicking – Anxiety & Derealisation
I was diagnosed with anxiety and derealisation/depersonalisation in 2019, my last year of school, and I’m really proud to say that I know a lot more about myself and my mental health issues than I did back then. I started off that year with daily panic attacks and derealisation episodes, a terrifying mindset, and more tears than I’ve ever cried before. If you're interested in hearing more about my experiences overcoming anxiety and derealisation in year 12, you can read the personal essay I wrote here, but today I wanna talk about some of the techniques that have helped me cope with these mental health challenges since then.
