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

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.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
