It’s long, and exhausting, and raw, and I’ve been compiling it for weeks. I hope you find meaning in it. So, at the… Continue reading Here’s what happened.

I have no idea in what format I should be writing this. I have many thoughts and few of them form anything cohesive. So here are the upbeat musings of a girl who tried to kill herself a few weeks ago. I'm sorry if that sentence is shocking or upsetting to you, but it's the… Continue reading Nine brief thoughts

Hi all. Quick update. I’m going to be taking a brief break from the blog. The premise of this blog rests upon the idea that I am recovered enough to give good insight. Recently, I tried to hurt myself. Very fortunately, I failed. There’s a long article to be written about that experience and my… Continue reading Update: Relapse

Hi, my name is (also) Olivia and I’m here to talk about college and my freshman year experience. My first semester of college was cut short by a week because of a trip to the Crisis Response Center at Pennsylvania Hospital - that’s like the emergency room for mental health. Luckily, I was not hospitalized… Continue reading The College Process

When the real world is too much to handle and I find myself needing to soothe an onslaught of anxieties, or if I’m simply in need of some familiar background noise, I escape to a special place in my heart called Stars Hollow. It, of course, is not a real place, but the fictional town… Continue reading On Coping Mechanisms: A Safe Haven Called Stars Hollow

I feel as if, sometimes, the impression I give off is that I’m “better” or “recovered.” In a way, this is true. I have the best hold over myself that I ever have. I slip up on occasion, but my command of my illnesses is unmatched by any other period of my life. I’ve been… Continue reading “Recovery” and Chronic Mental Illnesses: PTSD and Addictions

UPDATE: She responded! I won't bother showing them, they're petty. I do want to thank everyone for making this my most successfully viewed article on the blog, since its inception. It's really important that we shed light on harassing behavior. I'm not going to write any more about this subject, but I appreciate all of… Continue reading My hate comments (UPDATED)
