Exploring mental & spiritual health with a dash of goofiness. Scrambled thoughts.

5 signs you may have a Big City Addiction

In 2010, a group of Dutch researchers led by Dr. Jaap Peen found that living in a city doubles the risk of schizophrenia; urban living was also in charge of raising the risk of anxiety (by 21%) and mood disorders (by 39%).

„Pe măsură ce m-am cunoscut mai bine, mi-am dat seama de lucrurile de care am, de fapt, nevoie.”

„În primul rând, musai să spun că îmi place mult campania voastră! Se pliază atât de bine pe activitatea mea de zi cu zi, fie că lucrez la cabinet cu clienții mei, fie că lucrez cu diverse companii, scopul meu este să ii ajut pe cei cu care mă întâlnesc să își construiască un astfel de #mentalhealthkit personalizat.” (...)n

Invitation to a podcast brunch

YELLING MINDS

A few years ago, personality tests to find out your learning style were extremely fashionable. This is how I learnt that I was a visual learner and definitely not an auditory one. Listening exercises were, indeed, a pain in the ass. That didn't change in time. (...)

There are good things here

YELLING MINDS

Dear Julie,
I’ve never met you and still, I have to say those words that we usually say to a presumable soulmate whom we meet in a bar on a Friday night, and whom we (think we) want to marry, four hours later : I feel like I’ve known you all my life (...)

NO SEX AND THE CITY

With so many options and not enough guidelines, how do we know that we found the one?, I'm hearing *Esther Perel talking through the screen of my computer. Of course, it made me think (...)

Anxious? You need to read this first

YELLING MINDS

It never took me such a long time to write an article as this one. Maybe it’s the anxiety to write about anxiety. I am attempting one more time to finish it and, weirdly enough, I’m currently googling "time on Mercury” and ending up reading about how long a year lasts on the other planets. (...)

PANIC ATTACK ROOM

THE GENDER BLENDER

When a friend of mine told me her friend is doing this challenge of not sleeping with any man for a year, therefore calling it a no dick challenge, I was intrigued and quite excited. But then I thought (...)

Middle fingers up, girl!

THE GENDER BLENDER

I had been caught in a platitudinous celebration of Women’s Day for a long time. Like really long, two decades maybe. They never explained us at school what March 8 really meant, instead, we were encouraged to (...)

They say that the age of personal essays is over. Well fuck them.
London is a scary place. It’s like a pair of glasses that you don’t (...)

"Writing is a tool for me to find people"

YELLING MINDS

“Once you can tell a story - you can find people with similar stories and you can build a community. I guess writing is a tool for me to find people.”

Wanted: Self-confidence and a margarita

YELLING MINDS

A couple of days ago, I was chatting with a friend about the labyrinthal path to self-confidence, dragging through it and having to deal with its sinuous serpentines, flooded lanes, gloomy caves, soggy mud-holes. (...)

PANIC ATTACK ROOM

Did you notice that facebook has now got a setting that lets you choose a legacy contact just in case you die? (...)

Is your everyday important?

PANIC ATTACK ROOM

I find myself once again in the panic attack room, sitting as still as I can with an angel on the right shoulder and with a devil on the left one. This scene is familiar to everybody, (...)

NO SEX AND THE CITY

I've been single before, but never in my thirties. In fact, when I moved to London I had recently broken up with my first girlfriend ever. I was 28...
