After the Holidays: A Melancholic Season

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve! Fantastic food, friendly fellowship, all objectively ostentatious and adjectively magnanimous moments of the year. And yet the posthumous period is abjectly oppressive for it’s lack of pinpoints of joy and splendor. Because of this, Seasonal Affective Disorder tends to rear it’s ugly head in the period following the holidays alongside a surge in suicidal ideation. The vacuum of obvious festivities is felt in full, and many people (3% of the general population sans pre-existing mental health disorders and roughly 20% of the population with major depression and/or bipolar disorder) suffer from this variably debilitating issue. As a layman who does suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the only guidance I can offer is...

Gen Z, Millennial & ADHD: The beginning

When you work in close knit team, you tend to learn traits and details about one another; significant others names, pets, favorite foods, etc. But in the workplace, it is rare to know your colleagues beyond a superficial level. At Joxel, we are not only a team – we are a family. We argue (constructively), we know each other's kids’ events, and we celebrate each other accomplishments. This provides an environment that allows all of us to talk about almost anything. Openly, honestly, and without judgement. A few months ago, the topic of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) came up. We found that two of us struggle with ADHD.

“Just a Thought”

People make decisions daily. What to wear, where to eat, which task to start first, what to say, and how to respond, just to name a few. Regardless of where you lay your head at night, the first decision of the day is whether to get out of bed. Why do you decide to get out of bed? What pushes you to do so? As morning arrives and you begin to stir, you lay there with your eyes open, or with your eyes closed. You lay there, partially awake, and then it happens. What happens you ask? Thoughts and questions happen. Thoughts and questions begin bouncing around in your head and these thoughts and questions, typically fall into two categories:...

Vaccinated? Back to the Office!

Vaccinated? Back to the Office!   With vaccination statistics rising and inoculation allowing most of us to return to a level of pre-COVID normality, we find ourselves facing a new albeit minor crisis; how to reintegrate back into office culture and public life at large. While this may seem like a simple adjustment, the transition will prove more difficult than one might assume, due to a variety of health concerns, both physical and behavioral. COVID-19 has changed our cultural approach in a variety of ways; we find ourselves collectively more aware of viral transmission then ever before and are subsequently wary of close, personal interaction sans masks. This proves problematic due to the reduction in ability to read faces and...
