Hi! I’m Emily,
An LGBT and mental health advocate and blogger
You can call me Ems!
I am 23 years old. I realized I am bisexual at age 13, and I realized I am demisexual just last year. I have known that I have depression since I was 13, but I did not know what the signs of anxiety and panic attacks were until I started college in the fall of 2015. After 5 years and 1 school transfer, I am now 1 year away from graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Media Studies! It has been a long, hard road with many bumps and a lot of personal growth. Through everything, I know how hard it is to be a part of the LGBT+ community and coping with mental illnesses.
While I cannot be a therapist for anyone, I would like to share my experiences and research to help others, and hopefully learn some new things in the process. I will be using this blog to discuss issues surrounding LGBT mental health, self care tips and strategies, resources, and more. I think this is especially important to me right now, as times are hard and uncertain.
​
I hope that this blog can help even one person through their hardship. If anyone needs anything, even just to talk, please feel free to reach out to me.
​
Happy Pride, everyone!
