Truck Drivers Battling Mental Illness: How Common is It?
As we all know, mental illness is an actual disease with real-world consequences. Unfortunately, not many people accept that, but that does not make it any less real. At the same time, it is a public health issue with many different types and symptoms – around one in five Americans live with a mental illness.

Dream Journey
Say, if you were to delve into a person's mind. Now, what would that look like? What would you see? Would you honestly see red muscly veins like that segment in Jimmy Neutron where he goes into brain blast? I doubt it. The human brain is much more complex than you'd ever think, especially when you begin to truly decipher and analyse how your mind works, picking apart how it's structured, and what truly makes it... well, you?

Moments of Weakness
At the moment of loneliness you think about one person. One feeing that makes you happy. You choose to focus on the things that make you happy so you don’t have to feel so lonely. Sometimes it works. Most times it makes you more sad because you are not feeling that now. Times of isolation and loneliness, you think about one thing more than before. From a touch to their warmth. The feeling overcomes you because in those moments of loneliness it becomes all that brings you joy.

Reeducation, Addiction Treatment, And Alternative Sentencing Should Have Been Tried Before Mass Incarceration.
Incarceration should never have been the only answer to dealing with criminality in America. The changes that have started in the country are actually overdue. Unfortunately, anything long overdue and being done to fit political reelection goals will work out poorly. While change is needed, and I've believed this for years, it should be tempered with wisdom. Wisdom, knowledge, and a clear-cut plan of action are the only way to find ourselves with a better system than we had before.

The Anxious Elephant in the Room
Congratulations, America, we have created the land of the free and the home of the anxious. Over 40 million Americans, ages 18 and older, suffer from the most diagnosed mental health illness, Anxiety. Why are we just accepting this? Why are we allowing this to happen? We allow this, we accept this because we think it is normal. Anxiety is an illness caused by many factors like genetics and disease. However, it is also caused by environment, trauma, and upbringing. I know being "stressed" and having anxiety are not the same thing. However, being stressed, experiencing regular stress can lead to Anxiety.

Signs of Stress as a Caregiver
It doesn't matter if you have been thrown into caregiving, or you have had time to gradually become one. Either way, it can be very stressful and hard. Many caregivers still have to take care of their families and their loved ones. They may have their own house to care for, along with their parent's home too. Many continue to work full-time on top of their caregiver duties.

Helping Mental Health - One Edit at a Time
I’m a big lover of psychology (having taken it in university as part of my Criminology degree, along with various psychology diplomas and certificates later on - thanks Covid pandemic and online learning!), as I’m a lifelong learner. And importantly mental health seems to be at the forefront of the societal psyche at the moment (which is great for helping to end the stigma of mental health issues and conditions).

Empathy
Growing up I always felt different, awkward, and distant. Often times my mother caught me daydreaming because this world was too much for me. I grew up with seven siblings, all of which are nothing like me nor I like them. We also had endless family and friends in and out of our home, one would think I would have been happy. Actaully, it was quite the opposite. Feeling overwhelmed or having mood swings were a problem. My family couldn't understand my behavior, and I never discussed it with anyone so I just dismissed the signs.
