In The Blink of An Eye
I open my eyes and realize that I was staring at the ceiling. I felt a panic bubble inside me. I was supposed to be somewhere, and it was clear I had overslept. It clicked immediately that I was supposed to be at school for a couple events.

Review Reaps Rest
Here I am, on the 1st January trying to make this year matter the most. I've completed exams, got out of a relationship, gone through debt, worked in a demanding setting, moved out of home for university, got another job, started writing periodically on Vocal and started investing. All of this I've done at 18. Honestly, I felt like I've learnt many lessons at this tender age.

2022 How to make it a better year for yourself.
First off, I'm a huge gym rat for always going to the gym 11 months out of 12 months and roughly doing 4-6 days within each week filled with sweat. I used to read on average around 3-2 books per month and it's not much but aside from video games and other free time stuff that keeps me from my goals, I would like to share my experience on how I did it and how you can apply to many other things in your life as well!

I Am Sleep. Let Me Lull.
SLEEP: “Hi, I think it’s time you and I had a little talk.” ME: “OK.” SLEEP: “Now, we don’t talk as much as we should. We both know that. But I’m hoping you’ll listen to me now. Do you think you can hear me out?”

How to stop quitting exercise
Don’t push yourself too much When you start to exercise, the first thing that you need to do is set specific goals. Although most people who start a workout routine may think that this is not necessary, you need to make it clear to yourself whether your purpose is to have light exercise, just to keep yourself healthy, or you want to gradually reach high levels of athletic performance, and, why not, participate in sports competitions.

Sleep Apnea
My New Year's Resolution is to find good, restful sleep... for a better Tanya! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was almost 31 years old, but I'm sure it has been there all of my life, just like the bipolar disorder has been. When I was diagnosed, my doctor told me that if I lost weight it would help the apnea. I told him that if he could do something about the apnea, my metabolism would rise and I would lose weight. He always argued that point with me. I fought with the CPAP and my anxieties for over a year and then I just quit. If I was able to fall asleep with it on my face, I would tear it off in the middle of the night or I would wake in a panic, because it felt like someone had a pillow over my face. There are many people that have issues with the machine, so they just don't use it. Can you imagine trying to sleep with a hose hooking you to a machine that is blowing a significant Constant Positive Air Pressure into your mouth and/or nose??? :-( Think about it! BUT the alternative is to sleep knowing that you stop breathing every 5 minutes or so and the longest "apnea" was 45 seconds....those were pretty much my results. Scary, huh? I can't even hold my breath for 45 seconds, how can that happen when I'm sleeping and me not even know about it?? Crazzzzy, right?

Living With Post-Traumatic Stress
Before I go any further, a bit of background is in order: I have Post Traumatic Stress. I have had Post-Traumatic Stress since 1967, although I didn’t realize it until much later. My first counseling session didn’t happen until 1980. This article is not about the details of what caused my post-traumatic stress. It was brought about by a variety of both life events, plus physical and emotional traumas I sustained while I served in the Army. Today, my focus is devoted to showing others suffering from PTS the coping skills I learned and now use daily, to control what’s going on inside my brain. By repeating these techniques every single day, I can control my reactions to whatever incidents flood my mind at any moment. After reliving, over and over again, so many terrible events that have happened and what I witnessed, what could I possibly hope to accomplish by writing about them, especially so many years after they occurred? I hope to show other sufferers how they can achieve more peace, self-awareness, and acceptance of who they are and what they can become by sharing my relief tactics, as well as how I got to this place.
