Hi!
My name is Sandra.
I write about mental health.
I help people dealing with mental illness (and those who aren’t) by educating and raising awareness about mental health by writing articles about various mental health topics.
I cover topics such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, positivity, self-care, and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder.
What would you like to read about?
A disorder where you experience intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations.
A disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs.
These disorders share some symptoms and treatments. The main difference is that schizoaffective disorder has a mood component, which can involve mania or depression.
The process of establishing behaviors to ensure holistic well-being of oneself, to promote health, and actively manage illness when it occurs.
Are you in crisis?
Get immediate help
In the case that you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or suicide crisis, please call a 24-hour helpline such as the 988 Lifeline toll-free number (988) from anywhere in the United States.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call your doctor or 911 immediately.

I believe that mental health can sometimes be misunderstood and is a subject that many people feel they can’t talk openly about.
My goal is to not only help you better understand general mental health but also various other mental health conditions by sharing information and ways to cope with the challenges you may be facing.

I hope you find the content I create here helpful – whether you are affected by mental illness or not.
