[Updated on September 3rd, 2024, to add more information] On May 18th, 2019, I finally took the dive and got my septum piercing done. I had been thinking about getting my nose pierced for years and years, but I felt it was a big commitment. As someone who travels so much, I didn’t want to deal with aftercare while in another country, but May seemed like a great time with not many events in the horizons. Before getting a septum piercing, I did do some research and read loads of posts about this specific nose ring, but I do feel that there were many aspects that just were not touched on.

Many people in modern society enjoy exercise for their dopamine boost and happiness, and there are many popular reasons to incorporate exercise into it (from strength training to aerobics).

Birth control is one of those things that most people use in their lives, however, it’s not talked about as much as you’d think. There are a bunch of different birth control options, with the most popular generally being a tablet that is taken daily. When I was exploring birth control options, the tablet wasn’t a good fit for me – the side effects were terrible, I didn’t like having to remember these tablets and needing to carry them around when I travelled – it just all felt really inconvenient. So I looked into the Depo-Provera which is an injection based birth control. For me, this is the best possible birth control and I have had a good time on it.

Travel anxiety is a common problem that psychiatrists and other mental health professionals encounter in their practice and it’s usually easy to overcome once you identify the problem and seek help. 

Unfortunately, most people are dismissive of travel anxiety and don’t make a serious effort to help or accommodate loved ones and acquaintances dealing with this problem. This isn’t out of malice; it’s simply a cultural bias that makes us more responsive to ‘serious’ sounding conditions. 

For example, if you tell someone that you have clinical depression or Generalized Anxiety Disorder they are more likely to step up and help, as compared to when you tell them that you have travel anxiety. 

Nevertheless, travel anxiety can be debilitating to many, making it harder to pursue or thrive in careers that require frequent travel, and also to unwind and enjoy the benefits of vacations.
