So many times during my bouts of anxiety, which is often, I know that there is no reason to be worried or thinking about what I am. However, It is so difficult to stop the thoughts and emotions on the spot. It can be incredibly frustrating because many times I understand the irrationality of my thoughts and feelings, but I continue to think and worry and there is no stopping it.

What I’ve learned in therapy and researching videos, is not to stop the emotion. I’ve learned thatriding out the feelings and emotions is a lot more beneficial, then trying to stop it all together. Getting frustrated and trying to stop thinking about a specific thing, can make someone with anxiety disorder, even more anxious. Become accepting of the feelings you go through.

I’m sure that many of you out there who suffer from any type of mental illness/issue have felt this way.

Me, suffering from anxiety, have had many difficulties explaining what goes on in my head, heart or body when I’m experiencing anxiety. I’ve also noticed that it’s been difficult for my family and friends to truly understand what I go through on a daily basis. Not being able to express what is going on inside your head, can be extremely frustrating.

Over the years I’ve learned from many therapy sessions how to articulate what I am feeling and why. My current therapist recently told me that she realizes the moment I articulate my feelings about something, I am able to overcome my anxiety that is attached to a particular issue/emotion/problem. That was a great realization. I did this when I was really anxious about jury duty.

The moment I received…

Lesser talked about brands, like niche perfumer Byredo, tend to capture the very essences of the most beautiful flowers and natural concepts in a way no other perfume brand can.

That’s probably why the Swedish perfume house don’t need to showcase their scents with glossy magazine advertising or extravagant bottle designs, instead sticking to the signature chic, understated monochrome style.

Deep Viola is Byredo’s newest fragrance for 2020 and it celebrates the beauty and sensuality of violet flowers in a quiet yet seductive way.

Byredo Deep Viola explores the intensity of deep evening violets, scents which have marked many a generation. It was Shakespeare who said “A violet is the youth of primary nature.” The line he wrote in Hamlet went on to ignite an endless love of the purple…
