Being a Bad Bitch with Mental Health Issues
Depression is something I've struggled with for a long time. I've been to many different therapists since I was 13, and I now take anti-depressants to help me cope.

How To Expand Your Consciousness
While most people are convinced a successful life depends on conventional education, there's another kind of instruction universities doesn't teach. That's spiritual education. Knowledge of the one consciousness, a superior intelligence that lies within every one of us. If you access that higher consciousness, you're accessing a brand new level on life itself. You'll begin to see life in a whole different way, you'll start noticing a lot of details in every aspect of your life. It's like jumping into a plane and watching the landscape from above. Solely with this, you'll reach a state of being only achieved by great masters, just as Jesus, Buddha, Hermes, and contemporaries like Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti.

I hear a variety of different things from normal conversation to sexual conversation and hearing a couple have sex.

It's not cowardly. It doesn't make you a horrible person for experiencing it. It does not make you weak. In fact, having depression and battling it as strong as you are makes you a fighter.

5 Things To Do in a Mental Health Crisis
A mental health crisis may consist of extreme anxiety, depression or feeling suicidal. For me, it's generally a mix of all three. This results in a rush of energy, feeling like I can't keep still or think straight, feeling like I can't breathe or am drowning and just utter terror that this is the beginning and things are about to get so, so much worse.
