Psychiatrists React: Live at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the APA #protestAPA2019
I traveled to S.F. for the Annual Meeting and brought the videos submitted to the ProtestAPA.com website. This is the outcome:
Bringing reconciliation to a heated misunderstanding
For the last year, I’ve been subjected to harassment from two members of the c/s/x community who persistently attacked me online for my speech at the 2018 American Psychiatric Association protest in New York. With time, and with the support of valuable mentors, I learned not to engage with public attacks on the internet. I…
I discovered that 7Cups.com is “hacking” their own website to trick depressed people into using their service.
To share my recent discovery about 7cups.com, I have to first reveal two personal things I’m often ashamed of and shy about broadcasting: sometimes I get quite melancholy and part of my income comes from freelance digital marketing.

Decided to write something while I’m depressed
This was originally written on December 30, 2016. I set a fuse on it to publish exactly one year later to avoid the discomfort of publishing this kind of article in real-time. They say many of the great writers produced their best work while they were depressed. I’d look up who those people are but…
The Government is Trying to Plant a Chip in My Brain: An Autopsy of a Startup
The U.S. government just took its first step toward forcing microchips into people. Naturally, they are doing it for your own protection. To be more specific, two weeks ago, the FDA approved a new drug for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia which includes a digital sensor that allows health care providers (and government) to track whether…

I thought maybe this would be useful to anyone struggling with addiction… Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:
Lessons learned via temazcal ceremony in the Mayan Riviera
I have been traveling living the “tech nomad” lifestyle since the fall of 2016, a little over a year. Most of my travels have been all around the US but I finally took a solo international journey during January and February. It’s interesting because when I was younger, I had no desire to travel. Whereas…
Advice to someone struggling with “mania”
I got a message from someone via a Tumblr account I had abandoned long ago asking for some advice on what to do during their current manic episode. Since my last blog post advising someone about mental health issues got such a good response, I thought I’d post this one too.: I have bipolar…
