What Depression Feels Like Videos Bring Mental Health Awareness Month to Forefront


Health



This is a sponsored post 



Leave a comment below this post to enter to WIN $25 VISA Giftcard Giveaway


#MHAW16


Major depression affects us all. Chances are you know someone personally who is depressed, since approximately 14.8 million American adults (6.7 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older) are suffering with the disorder, according to the Archives of General Psychiatry. To bring awareness to this epidemic problem during May which is Mental Health Awareness Month, SoulPancake produced these two videos intended to inspire and inform us all about what mental health feels like. Watch them both and then leave a comment sharing your reaction and you could win a $25 VISA giftcard. 









MORE ABOUT THE VIDEOS


The first video Illuminate A Rocket Ship to the Moon, touched me deeply as a mother. This is a beautifully shot and scripted story of a boy who struggles to deal with his mom's depression, and eventually leading him to building her a rocket ship to take her away from her pain. The second video from SoSonia, called Happiest Girl in the World, is a powerful view of how sometimes the view we show to the world is completely different from what we are actually feeling deep inside. Bottom line: It's time to talk about and bring awareness to mental illness.


ENTER THE GIVEAWAY

5 Must Know Baby Stroller Shopping Tips From a Mom Who's Been There, Done That


Baby

5 Tips I Learnt from Stroller Shopping

As any new mom will tell you, shopping for strollers isn’t an easy job. Many of my friends ended up spending money they didn’t have, on strollers they didn’t need. To ensure that you don’t make those same mistakes, here are five tips learnt first-hand from stroller shopping for my own children.



1. Don’t spend a fortune on an expensive stroller right after your baby is born; instead, go for a frame carrier. Even with a hundred dollar budget, you will find enough choices both online and offline. Perfectly compatible with your car seats, a frame carrier will serve you well for the first six months or so. 

2. If you are planning to get a full-featured or an expensive stroller, make sure that you consider all the options you have and weigh them against each other. This will allow you to determine and think about the features that you and your baby would benefit most from before you actually make the purchase. Always ask yourself questions to figure out if the stroller is the right fit for you.

3. A heavier stroller will definitely make the ride steadier for your child, but you must also consider things like how often you might need to use the stairs or lift the stroller in and out of your car.

4. I did not have anyone to guide me when I became a first-time mother, but you might. If you are lucky enough to know an experienced mom well enough, do ask for her advice. If she just happens to live a lifestyle similar to yours, even better! 

5. Be careful with what you spend your money on. For example, a very expensive shock-absorbing stroller sounds like a great idea to cushion your baby from feeling the bumps on the surfaces. However, ask yourself if the surfaces you usually travel on is really that bumpy to begin with. 


Shop Smart

The bottom line is if you shop smart, hunting for strollers can actually be enjoyable and fun, rather than a headache.
