Suicide Prevention
When I was 18, my whole world changed. I got a text from my sister-in-law saying “I’m sure you’ve heard about AJ”. Nothing more except that my other brother might need to be checked on. I had no idea what she was talking about so I immediately texted her back to ask what was going on. She told me that it wasn’t her place to tell me and I should talk to my mom.

Dear Doctors and Insurance Companies
I Am Way Too Lazy for All That and Isn’t That What I Pay You For? In general I consider myself a take charge kind of guy. Mostly I like to be in control, no matter the situation I am in. However, in one area of my life, my health, I most definitely do not want to be in control. In fact I think I have proven over and over again throughout the course of my life that I am incapable of handling the responsibility. Simply put, I suck at health, specifically I suck at my own health. I am just plain terrible at taking care of myself. When it comes to making healthy choices in food or engaging in healthy, low risk activities I fail again and again. Don’t even get me started on avoiding unhealthy and dangerous habits because I don’t. I am all over those.

Living with Anxiety
For as long as I can remember, I have always lived with anxiety. It feels as if I am in a rocking chair. Although my body may be moving, I am not actually propelling forward. It prevents me from being able to go out and enjoy the things that I should enjoy doing at twenty four years old. Things like going out, meeting with friends, meeting with family, etc. I have also always been shy. I guess you could say that the two seem to walk hand in hand with each other.

The Proper Way to Handle Criticism
When you say feedback makes you better, I believe in that more than I believe in just about anything on Earth. If you want to improve, you need really good feedback. But I would also say there are a lot of forms of feedback, including negative feedback that isn't really criticism that isn’t painful at all.
