What to do with Anxiety in Your Body.
It is quite common to experience uncomfortable physical sensations when feeling anxious, such as an upset stomach, muscle tension, cold or sweaty palms, headaches, rapid breathing, or an increased heart rate. Our instinctive response is often to eliminate these feelings, to escape from the messages our body is conveying, to distract ourselves, to remain occupied, or to avoid these sensations in any possible way, including attempting to force a change. While such strategies may provide temporary relief or a sense of reduced discomfort, they ultimately contribute to a cycle of anxiety. This response conditions the body to become more reactive, more avoidant, and essentially fearful of its own sensations, in addition to the external stressors that may be causing concern. So, what alternative approaches can be taken? This video will guide you on how to address the anxious sensations within your body.

Diary of An Auto-Immune Survivalist - The Hemorrhage
Blood poured from my vaginal canal and into the toilet. Clots of blood slipped out of me like a chain of fat beads that plopped into the water below. Reaching my hand beneath my seated tush, I caught one of the warm bloody clumps and brought it into view. It looked like a thick slice of beef liver, larger than the palm of my hand. The frail red mass separated into pieces as it dropped back into the toilet’s bowl. Hurriedly, I pulled a hand towel from its hook and put it up, in-between my legs. Shoving the towel into my vaginal opening, I applied as much pressure as I could as a desperate measure to slow the blood flow. My panic grew. I squeezed my thighs together to hold the towel in place.

What Is The Scariest Thing?
Fear is a common emotion that everyone experiences. However, identifying the scariest thing can be subjective and challenging. Some may find thunder, shadows, or being burned alive frightening, while others may not. The concept of the scariest thing would be something that elicits fear and panic in anyone, regardless of their background or neurology. This ultimate fear would need to tap into the depths of the human mind where fears are born. To truly grasp this terror, it means delving into how fears are learned.

On Sunday I Teetered on The Deep End Drop-Off
When I commit, I commit hard. Like cement. I am THERE. My husband's wedding band has one of my favorite songs : 'All The Way'. I fell in love with the movie 'Joker's Wild' and Sinatra crooning it way before I knew who he was, way before I knew the dark side of the story.

The Rise of Munchausen Syndrome
Experiences within the United States Healthcare System vary from person to person, depending on circumstances and severity of a person’s illness. Bias according to race and gender is cautiously monitored and is not considered a factor when treating a patient within the medical system, thanks to HIPPA laws that were enacted in the US in 1996.

This is Your Anxiety Attack
It starts suddenly. One minute, when you are standing in line at the grocery store, minding your own business, and the next, a wave of intense fear crashes over you. Your heart begins to race, pounding so hard you can feel it in your throat. “What’s happening to me?” you think, trying to steady your breathing. But it is no use; each breath feels shallow and insufficient.
