My therapist is the bomb (that’s still cool to say, right?). I started going to her a couple of years ago when my consistent health anxiety was peaking, and I knew I needed some help in managing it. She gave me tools to deal with anxiety, but she also helped me realize how stressed out […] More
After feeling a baseline of stress for the last few months, we’ve basically outgrown our typical ways to relax. Face mask? Over it. Journal? Pass. Watch another Netflix show? I mean, we’ll do it, but it’s just because we’re bored out of our minds. We’ve done basically everything we could to self-soothe and relax lately, […] More
