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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
