My calendar tells me it’s…*drum roll please*… Earth Day! Yay!
Among my many passions (music, reading, writing, respecting grammar and the English language - I’m a nerd, I know - animals, and mental health) is being kind to the earth. And, indulging and advocating for my passions always gives my mental state a little boost in […]

For the most part, I try to stay out of other people’s religious business. Sure, if your car breaks down on the way to Mass, I’ll give you a lift. Along the way, I may even ask you a question or two about the history of the Rosary or whether or not you’ve met the […]

Ah, dear Brain Break. You let our brains take a break from all things brain- and mental health-related, which is good because it’s not healthy to focus on one thing all the time; yet, contradictory, because we’re still doing something good for our brains and mental health…

We all deal with stress, anxiety, and depression in different ways. Some of us lace up our sneakers and take off on a vigorous walk or run around town. Some of us lace up our boxing gloves and beat the snot out of unsuspecting punching bags.

I’m really enjoying the new layout of Saturday Sanity. I think it’s doing a much better job of providing more Saturday Sanity-worthy links, don’t you?
Anyway…
First, let’s take a look back at some of the things that have gone on here at Mental Health Notes this week. We kicked off the stress-busting Goin’ to the Chapel […]

When I was in college, I was married. My university mailed every bit of information that pertained to my grades, my financial aid and bills, and my courses directly to me. Nothing passed “Go,” i.e. my parents, and no one collected $200.

I hate s.p.a.m. I really do. Not the edible kind of s.p.a.m. Until I went vegetarian, I actually kind of liked that.
No, I’m talking about the gazillion s.p.a.m. comments I get here at Mental Health Notes.
