Hear My Cry And Help Me

When someone calls for help, do not ignore them.

Hear My Cry And Help Me
Tech Explorist

Everyone has a story to tell. We all have our days, some good and bad. When it gets to that point, we all need to be here for one another.

There will be a flood of thoughts and fake smiles. Behind those fake smiles are real tears. We laugh to hide the pain.

We all have our demons. We have the hurt and pain that we try to hide, but when pain and emotion show themselves, it can be an explosion of turmoil.

Think about the coworker or friend that always has a smile on their face, but behind closed doors they suffer from mental destruction.

We all struggle with pain.

Sometimes you feel like you have everything and it not be good enough for your mental sake. It can make you feel stuck in the same place.

Don't assume someone is okay. Don't overlook them, especially if they're pleading with a look of help behind that broken smile.

Never say "you'll be fine," or "get over it." Don't say "you're over-thinking," or "ignore it." Easier said than done. Think about how you just shut them out.

People cannot control what bothers them. Mental health is real. Depression is real. It will destroy you inside and out. Yet you'll still feel numb and not know why.

We may feel rejected and we may take it personal, even if it wasn't suppose to be taken literally.

Beware of what you say cause all it takes is one trigger word to hurt the heart of an individual.

It's a struggle. It is a daily struggle living with mental illness. It is so much more than a sad or bad day.

There are some people that are hanging on by a thread and they are ready to cut it.

In your eyes someone may be complaining about life, but they are really giving a cry for help.

Pay attention to those around you.

Pay attention to the signs around you. Actions speak louder than words.

Don't force it. Just show you care.

Pray for those faking; faking the smile and happiness. Pray for the mental strength and guidance. Pray that they remember who they truly are.

If you struggle with a mental illness, you are heard and are not alone. You must be doing something right for the devil to try and bring you down.

Words can hurt and actions of others can make us feel worthless and empty, but remember it's not the truth.

You are loved and are strong. Your struggle may be uncomfortable and hurt but remember it won't last forever.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
