I went to Texas last weekend for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. It was so much fun but now I’m home and fighting off a cold! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have been working from my bed this week, snugged up with my laptop, my dog, and a cup of coffee. So thankful for the ability to work from anywhere, it makes days like these not so bad!
Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have struggled with mental health for nearly half of my life. I had my first panic attack at an Ikea when I was 14. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Depression. Panic Disorder is very weird. I love things that many people hate (rollercoasters, getting shots, scary movies) but something as simple as the sound of someone chewing food or someone brushing against me in a certain way will send me into a panic attack. The only way I knew how to stop my panic attacks was by biting my arm - the physical pain distracted my brain from the emotional pain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was so lucky to have such an incredible support system who got me help when I was still in high school. I even got the coolest doctor who explained things so simply to me and helped me to realize that mental health problems are not a sign of weakness. Mine are simply genetic and were triggered by moving twice while I was in high school (moving is the third most stressful life experience, behind deaths and divorces). Ironically, I don't mind moving at all anymore and have actually lived in 5 different cities since high school! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My mental health is actually the main reason that I started my own business. I knew that I would not be okay working at an office from 9-5 every day. I work from home with my dog and cat and it allows me to work when I am feeling energetic and inspired, and relax when I'm feeling anxious or tired. Sometimes that means working during normal work hours, sometimes that means working in the middle of the night. All that matters is that it works for me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please, please reach out if you're struggling with your mental health. Having a mental health issue is no different than having a physical health issue - there is no reason to feel embarrassed or weak because of it. You CAN get help and things WILL get better. Send me a DM, I'm always here if you need me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @jessicavwalsh
Repeating positivity is life changing!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whenever I need a boost of encouragement I repeat to myself - there is no such thing as a mistake, only a lesson. As often as I catch myself beating myself up for *gasp* being human, I know that what doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have a mantra? Share yours in the comments below!
Happy #InternationalCoffeeDay! With this day falling on a Monday AND on the first of the month, we’ll be drinking tons of coffee so we can get 👏🏼 shit 👏🏼 done! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you drink your coffee? I’m an iced coffee with almond milk kinda girl. ☕️👩🏼‍💻
Procaffeinating: (n.) the tendency to not start anything until you’ve had a cup of coffee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @littlebigballoonco
It’s been a while since I introduced myself on Instagram! Girlcrush Collective is all about building community so I want to get to know all of you and for you to get to know me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm Katie, I'm the girl behind Girlcrush Collective! I live in Vegas with my dog and cat. I am a social media strategist, currently working as a social media manager but working to transition to social media education (which is why I just launched InstaCrush, the Instagram membership site!). This allows me to help even more of you to grow your brand or blog with social media! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I'm not working, I'm probably watching crime shows, driving around the desert blasting music, at the dog park, at brunch drinking bloody marys, or napping. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can find me here: @katiemandersaada ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am obsessed with every single one of you and am so thankful to have you all as a part of this community. Introduce yourself below!
