Family Time Is Therapy Time

Family time can help you cope with your emotions.

Family Time Is Therapy Time
Live The Adventure

With having an illness or disorder or even disease that doesn't have a cure yet there tends to be some emotions to go with that. One emotion is very common with those who have illnesses or disorders and that is depression. Depression is experienced differently through everyone, and there are different cases of depression as well. My experience with depression is not as severe or serious as others but when I feel that way all I want to do is sleep and stay in bed and not go anywhere or do anything. But when I am with family wheather I am babysitting or spending the day with sisters or aunts and even date nights with my husband always makes me better. It also helps lift my spirit up to a bright shining light. I like to call family time my thereapy time because it has just the same effect as actual therapy. Another emotion that seems to be common as well is anxiety. And like there many different cases of anxiety, while others might be more on an extreme case mine I don't think is that bad yes sometimes to me it feels bad but I don't think it is as bad as some other people's anxiety. But family time again helps my anxiety spending time with family helps my mind be at peace and calm me down. Sometimes my anxiety makes me very emotional and that's when wonderful date nights or even just spending time with my husband, just my husband and I relaxes me and eases my mind which again is just like therapy to me.And to end my article I am going to say family is precious so anytime you get with them cherish it and take pictures! Hope everyone has a nice day and weekend.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
