Yes, its all about ME
As above so below. As within, so without. In order to find a balanced functional state of equilibrium, we as humanoids need to learn to remember this basic rule, or universal law per say.

#BipolarAF
Hi! I'm Angela and I'm bipolar AF. Yeah, you know what that means. Or do you? If you've been here, done this, then maybe you do really know. If you live with someone and love every second of them, up or down or in between, you might know. If you've educated yourself or otherwise picked up some psychology along the way, you might have an idea.

Life With OCD
As far back as I can remember, I struggled with everything needing to be perfect. My first memory related, was when I was in early elementary school. I had to have my work perfect. By perfect, I mean it had to look absolutely perfect- if I looped a "B," I had to erase but if I left an eraser mark, it didn't count and I would have to copy everything onto a new paper until there were no marks and no messy letters. To this day, people complement my handwriting. The ones I'm friends with, I'll joke about why my handwriting is so neat, other times I'll just thank them and move on.

It's Okay not to be Okay
Mental health is described as a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being, in the Oxford dictionary. Many people hear these two words and automatically think about a “crazy” person. They picture someone that is “unstable” and dangerous to themselves and society. This is a horrible societal depiction of some that is merely misunderstood. As someone with mental health diagnoses, this is a way of thinking I personally would love to debunk.

Anybody
“W hat a waste”. I whisper loud enough for her to hear. She is so young. Could have been pretty but she’s all drugged up sitting on a bus bench not knowing what left from right is. I should not have to deal with this crap. I shake my head in disgust.

With Love
“Mom, I’m Sorry” After listening to a mother and daughter duet, of what I'm pretty sure was Britney Spears’s entire discography within the span of a 20-minute car ride from inside the gentle confinements of a 14-year-old girl’s denim pocket.

How to Love Yourself
Right now, I don’t like words, and I don’t like writing. I’ve spent entirely too long trying to craft an elegant passage in order to share just one message. Love yourself. Why is that so hard to do? And why is it even harder for me to explain? Probably because I’m no more an expert on self-love than a two-year-old is at using a toilet. But at least the two-year-old and I are both trying.

Mental Health Awareness among Nigerian Adolescents
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines an adolescent as any individual between the ages of 10 and 19. The WHO also refers to people between the ages of 10 and 24 as young people. In addition, the Merriam-Webster dictionary explains adolescence as the period of life when a child develops into an adult, that is, the period from puberty to maturity terminating legally at the age of adulthood. For the purpose of this article, we will consider adolescence as between the ages of 10 and 24. Having established these meanings, it is important that we weigh in on the relevance of mental health awareness among adolescents.
