Justin BoyettePublished 2 years ago in PsycheWhat I Learned From Self-Harm
This is an uncomfortable topic for most people, but the truth is that it never has been for me. Self-harm was always the best alternative to suicide, always the choice I made rather than breaking down... and I got very good at it very quickly.

Sweet NothingsPublished 2 years ago in PsycheWhere Has all the Great Art Gone?
When you think about where all the great art in this world and where has it gone, I'm here to tell you that between the AIDS crisis, the drug and alcohol epidemic, and the mental health crisis in America, the ART hasn't left.

It seems that creative genius comes with an IQ and EQ that needs to be heavily medicated.

Welcome to another Quora question night here courtesy of my room, in the corner of my office. Okay, this is a snarky remark, but today, I want it to be a fun reading night.

ADHDer, you may think back on your past and shudder. I know I did. My past is full of guilt, embarrassment, and shame. I spent many nights awake thinking about all the ways I wish I could have done better.

The road out of Los Angeles and into Palm Springs is a road that separates worlds. Tents, shoddy houses and humanoid creatures shamelessly flaunting the derelict parts of themselves fade into pristinely kept hedges and spotlessness. Where Los Angeles urges its inhabitants to consider their own veiled form of schizophrenia, of a paranoia that forbids even an inkling of imagined solitude, Palm Springs quiets those ideas in a fell sweep. If not for the hum of cars that pass these 1960s post-modernist living sculptures, I’d believe I was alone here. A planet away from society.
