A great way to lessen the intensity of an anxiety/depression attack is to hug a pillow, or something soft, and let your emotions out. As you unload your feelings, continue to gradually tighten your grasp on what you are holding. The duality of releasing something, while embracing an object, allows you to feel a sense of healing.

“Jump rope has been a part of my workouts, on and off, for 5+ years now. It’s a great way to warm up before lifting and, if you’re like me and get easily bored on the treadmill, it’s a great way to get your cardio in! I started trying out some basic tricks to challenge myself and it always made me happy when people came up to me at the gym and said I’d inspired them to pick up a jump rope and make it a part of their routine. Both my husband and I like to travel a lot and we had quite a few trips planned after our wedding. I would always pack my gym clothes with me for each trip but found it extremely difficult to take time out and go workout at the hotel gym or find a place to exercise if we were staying at a place that didn’t have a gym. So I decided to start packing my jump rope with me, it’s compact and portable which makes it perfect to travel with. I figured I can jump rope anytime anywhere without having to set aside time to work out while on vacation, because skipping for even 5 minutes 3x a day is better than no exercise at all! Jumping rope in public places and with tourists around was terrifying at first. I carried my rope with me for 4 days in Italy, always searching for the right time and place, before finding the most secluded areas to use it. It has sort of become second nature since then, I still get nervous if there are a lot of people around but I have so much fun jumping rope in new places, being outdoors breathing in the fresh air, that I’ve come to love every second of it. I found a whole Jump Rope community after starting my Instagram page, everyone I’ve met so far has been incredibly supportive and extremely talented. I’ve learned so much from these people and I can’t wait to keep challenging myself with speed training and learning new tricks!”

“You are a work of art. Yes, you. Your personality, your talents, your skills, passions and beliefs. Your skin, your muscles, your bones, heart, and other various tissues. Your face, your smile, all the way down the depths of you inner being; you are a work of art. A masterpiece. A beautiful picture that not a single soul could ever replicate.” — Nicole Addison

“Antidepressant medications are used to treat depression, anxiety, and many other mental illnesses. Often, stigmatization of antidepressants prevents those who need it from seeking help. Stigma is also a common cause of treatment failure. Lifestyle changes, therapy, and complementary alternative medicine can help with the recovery process, but sometimes that might not be enough. Since mental illness is the result of chemical imbalances in the brain, more severe/ persistent mental illnesses are best treated with medication. Although their exact mechanism of action is unknown, antidepressants are theorized to work by increasing one or more brain chemicals. Types of antidepressants include:

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): These are the most widely used and work by increasing serotonin levels.

Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs): These are the newest class of antidepressants. They work by increasing serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain.

Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs): An older class of antidepressants, TCAs work primarily by increasing norepinephrine and to a lesser extent, serotonin.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs): MAOIs were the first class of antidepressants available. They are rarely prescribed now due to a number of food and drug interactions. They increase norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine.”
