Why this time of quarantine is the perfect time to process your mental health

We all struggle with mental health. Our busy lives causes us to shove all our issues under the rug even if they are openly existed. We never had time to process it. The world suddenly pauses and it all comes back and haunts you.

Why this time of quarantine is the perfect time to process your mental health
I've taken and edited this photo myself

We all have busy lives, we work, go to school, if in existence, raise your family and so on. Mental health always exists in your life but with how busy you are, you forget it exists.


With the current COVID 19 crisis underway putting our world on stand still, all the things mentally, you shove under the rug comes back and creeps out on you. All the hardship you dealt with, all the personal issues you shoved aside, now you have time to process it all.


The thing I've discovered is that it's a lot. A lot of stuff to process, I saw a therapist weekly but now with quarantine and the time I have on hand to process my mental health, I call him twice weekly.


I am going to give you a word of advice, It has been known that some insurances are being more leaniant on how much time you talk to your therapist. I am lucky to have that advantage. If you have the advantage to talk to your therapist more than once, I advise you to go forward because trust me, you want to process it all now because you will never know when the next opportunity comes around.


Mental health is hard to process, but if you work hard to process during the time you got on your hand, you should be able to process all of it and be able to put so much behind you.

People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
