Very average person navigating her 30s....
All my life, I thought that I had bipolar because I am such an experienced armchair professional with enough authority to diagnose myself. Also I was young, emo and completed some online checklist 20 years ago. Then I bucked up last year and decided to see someone legit so this person can tell me what is wrong with me. Funnily enough she told me I had dysthymia. It's persistent depressive…
I recently posted an Instagram story about this reality show (Million Dollar Nannies) I am obsessed with and one of my friend made a comment about me watching trash TV. I ignored it but it bugged me because, you are not better than anyone because you only watch great intellectual content. I find it so hard to find people (at least in this part of the world) that understand you can have diversity…

"Ever since I was young, I wanted to transform unstructured marketing data into actionable insights." This was in the farewell email I got last Friday. It was from a colleague who was let go due to restructuring and it got a good chuckle from me.

I grew up with Multiply, Xanga, Blogspot, and Wretch etc. I loved blogging. It was my way to be seen and heard. It was a platform for me to showcase my artistic flair. It was an outlet for me to be passive aggressive about whatever that was bothering me at that point of time. It was a way for me to channel my emo self to the wider social circle. I loved writing so much. Then I stopped. I started…
I keep feeling like my life is a big mess. I am going nowhere with my career. I am obese. I am lazy. All I do is get more stuff in hopes of those stuff filling in the void. Why do I have so much STUFF? I feel like I am living a lie. Everyday is a balance of trying to let myself be me, be comfortable, be better, be perfect, be good, be free, be okay. I kept wanting to do other things (wanting is…
Hello Claire, It has been a long time since I visited you. You were great and honestly I don't think I had enough sessions to determine if it would've helped. Like many other people who refuses to acknowledge reality, I think I am still very functional without the extra help. Should I go back to therapy? I’ve been considering this for the longest time. Okay that was a hyperbole but you know what I…
Do we need a backstory here? It has been so long I have to check my phone for pictures timestamp to be sure. Anyway the quick context for all of you noobs here is I had a best friend, we’ve known each other since we were 18 (WAY TOO LATE IF YOU ASK ME) and he died way too soon. Just a few days shy of his 29th birthday actually. I always tell this as a funny story when I talk about his death. Right…
