What No One Is Saying About The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard Trial
So far, I have had to write about six different articles about the $100 million dollar defamation case featuring Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. At this point, I’m assuming that everyone and their grandma has heard about the details.

Mental Health Awareness Week is just around the corner, starting on 9th May and finishing on 15th May. And the Mental Health Foundation has announced that the theme for 2022 will be loneliness, in support of those who experience this and how we as individuals can support others. The decision for the theme was based on the consequences of the pandemic, as feelings of isolation due to lockdown rules left many people distressed. The Community Life Survey, which was conducted between April 2020 to March 2021, found that approximately three million people in the UK feel lonely often or all of the time.
Faye McCullaghPublished 2 years ago in PsycheWhat is the Wagering Impulse?
What causes wagering oppression? Exactly when you have a wagering subjugation, a district of your frontal cortex called the insula may be overactive. This hyperactive region could incite distorted thinking. This can make you see plans in sporadic courses of action and continue to wager after near misses. The causes of gambling were also discussed by the specialists of the best addiction treatment center in Pakistan.

May is For…
There are so many May Awareness initiatives it can be a bit cumbersome for sure. There are of course graduation goals, Mother’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, and Mental Health Awareness; just to name a few. I look to May for signifying Mental Health Awareness because it is so near and dear to my heart. I have and still am learning how to ‘deal’ with issues of my own. Through guidance and advise from others I know I will prevail; however, I worry about others too. Mainly, I am concerned about some I work with. I really think this is because we see our ‘work family’ more than we see our ‘bio’ family; so, we get to know their mannerisms very well.

Dominica AgnewPublished 2 years ago in PsycheConcept of 'Gender Ideology'
Discrimination against women The basis for discrimination against women lies in the division between the "public" and the "private" spheres. Equal treatment of women is still debated in the private sphere, where biological roles such as motherhood and childbirth remain the prime determinants of identity and role in society. Despite the fact that women now have more freedom and opportunities than ever before, gender ideology still privileges men over women in the realm of work, family, and marriage. Despite the recent ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, this view is still prevalent in the private arena. Other practices of women in this mindset include domestic violence, incest, and marital rape, which remain considered private matters.

Here is where the victims of narcissists end up. I feel like these days, narcissism has become this stereotype that’s used to describe people who are assholes. Someone is inconsiderate of someone else’s feelings and it’s BOOM- you must be a narcissist. Personally, I’m not a fan of the word, nor am I a fan of it becoming so glorified. When you really dive into uncovering the entirety of narcissism, the acts, the victims, the gaslighting, the conditioning, it’s not just something to call someone. It’s something and someone who quite literally ruins peoples lives and then blames those people for their own world crashing down around them while the narcissists are the ones driving the bull dozer. It’s intentionally hurting someone, telling them their reaction to your hurtful act is wrong and then dismissing the way you made them feel entirely. It’s emotional warfare and it gets so deep that it’s like holding someone under water until they almost drown, letting them fight to get back up for air and asking them why they put THEMSELVES in that position. Narcissism is conditioning someone into accepting your bullshit with small little things here and there that eventually add up to bigger things and become more frequent until the victim is sitting there questioning their entire life, their entire self and wondering how they got HERE. Where is here, you ask? Here obviously varies from one situation to the next, but there’s always the common denominators such as isolation. Here is alone and not just alone but lonely because you’ve been keeping the red flags from those whom you love the most. Sometimes those loved ones can read between the lines, but you’re told they don’t support you and even if you don’t necessarily believe that, you go along with it because it’s the ‘them or me’ mentality that enduces panic. Here is often financially dependent on the narcissist with the heavy weight of knowing you couldn’t afford to leave even if you wanted to. Here is not only isolated, but lonely and questioning EVERYTHING about yourself. Where did I go wrong? How can I fix this? What’s wrong with me? Oh and my personal favorite, why can’t I do anything right? Here is not where any of us expected to end up. After all, I just wanted to be loved. It felt perfect. Looking back, maybe I did overlook some red flags. Maybe I did begin to allow the disrespect. Maybe I did play a part in my own isolation. Maybe I did also become toxic myself, but I know that’s not who I am. Wait, no seriously, who AM I!? Nothing but a shell of who I used to be as I realize I’m here. Each instance of the emotional abuse has created a new layer of toxic coping mechanisms I’ll have to learn to shed one by one. People talk about all the abuse a narcissist puts you through, but I never see anyone talk about it quite literally becoming your internal dialogue. You spend years being manipulated and you finally see it for what it is, BUT IT DOESNT JUST END. You don’t get to just walk away. Once you leave, you are gifted with the self doubt, the fear of failure, the fear of being alone because after a while you begin to believe you are as worthless as you’re told. It’s easy to write this and it’s easy for you to read this but just sit there and imagine truly believing someone when they tell you that you are a waste of space. That nothing you do is right. That you do not matter. Sit with it and let it sink in and try to really envision what a hopeless place HERE is. I would say that most peoples reaction would probably be, “that’s crazy! I would NEVER allow someone to make me feel that way! Even if they tried, I wouldn’t believe them.” Then you WAKE UP one day and you’re HERE.

I had come to realize more and more that our mental issues have to do with our past, how we grew up, and possibly things we had maybe gotten into as a young adults. But does it entail more?

I remember lying on the warm golden sand gazing longingly across the lagoon at the other island. Lying on a beach in paradise and daydreaming as if it had been any other mundane day which it was for from, I just couldn’t help myself. But this time was different. I felt a mixture of excitement and dread and I knew that’s what would make the challenge so special. Tracing my fingers through the sand surrounding me In anticipation, I wondered about how I would feel once I made it to the other side carefully observing the short distance between the two. How long would that take to swim? Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen!? I really had no idea. Every time I attempted to time one of my fellow holiday goers I’d get distracted or simply lose them as they swam further into the distance, dipping in and out between the small ripples of white appearing from the opening mouth of the lagoon and frowned. I watched the tourists go about their day exploring. The brave ones peered down from the tops of the high peaks they had climbed to the sea below while others strolled across the beach content with their achievement and immediate surroundings.
