My Struggle With Weight Loss and Why Losing Weight Is Harder Than People Think

The Reality of Weight Gain, Stress, and Healthy HabitsIt occurred to me recently that I have made a lot of posts about diet and exercise, but I don’t talk about the reality of how hard it is to change those things. We develop our eating habits when we are children, and they continue to be shaped by the society we live in, our families, and what is most available to us. Not only do we have to fight with our learned eating habits to be healthier, but we also have to fight our own biology that has

PTSD and Interpersonal Relationships – A Survivors Perspective

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is not an easy disorder to deal with for the person that suffers from it or the people that are around them. This does not mean to lose heart because there are many different paths to healing available, however, the road is not paved.

Complex PTSD (CPTSD): Is There a Cure? What the Science Says About Recovery and Treatment of CPTSD

In my time spent reading experiences of others with CPTSD, I often come across this misguided idea that CPTSD can't be cured.

Ten years ago I started a blog I was too scared to put my name on. Now Diary of a Flopping Fish is an LLC — still one woman, no ads, no AI articles, no data collection.

Social Media and Mental Health: The Folly of Self Diagnosis

When I took Abnormal Psychology at Delta Community College it wasn't long before I was questioning whether or not I had every disorder in the book that I had never even considered that I might have or heard of before.
