I search for a dry spot to rest my head on his chest—most of his shirt is already drenched in my tears. It’s the second time this week that his arms have held the immensity of my emotions.

God no, not that one! This one, Narcissism. It's the second most commonly used word in our society today, covid being the first... Truth be told, I'm sick of the word because depending on who's talking about it, you can get lost in the sauce! I'm going to start by saying that it is easy to call someone a name or diagnose someone especially when you believe that you are a victim of their behavior. The sad truth, however, is that at one point or another, we have been the person inflicting the injustice or invalidation and making another person feel like they are just not that important... It's called being Human, or maybe a spiritual person will say, not healing from traumas. We experience such a wide range of emotions throughout our lives (many new to us) as we deal with depression, anger, resentment, abandonment... the list goes on and on... That what you need, is to catch your breath and try to understand what is happening to you. If you can't understand yourself, what led you down that road, why you are where you are, reacting and responding the way you are, what boundaries you overlooked, never had or didn't know that you needed... (that's a mouthful I know) If you are currently "processing" your emotions internally and therefore lacking in the capacity to make time for someone else's problems, or issues, this does not make you a narcissist. So, let's get into it...
A Letter to Those Still Learning to Fight Their Demons
I would like to consider myself a normal person. The word “normal” is rather subjective, but the neverending list of societal standards and social cues that a 20-something-year old is supposed to fit outlines its definition. This list ranges from having a post-grad plan to attending fraternity parties on the weekend. Honestly, I think that those social standards are pretty superficial in measuring the type of person someone may be.

Did you know depression was the main cause of disability? The world is in a state of sadness, and it shows. I wonder what has caused this and why it’s grown over time. It’s said about 280 million people in the world suffer from depression, so there’s never a need to feel alone. Medical News Today shed light on suicide being the fourth leading cause of death, these days. Mental health is vital, and I think it’s very important you find ways to cope in this life.

Dorothea DeenPublished 2 years ago in PsycheNPD: Tantrums, Slapping, and Egging My House
Narcissists are on another level of immature. Their inner being is akin to a juvenile delinquent. Ruthless, lawless, unapologetically disobedient. Narcs think they can do, say, and act however they fancy with no consequences.

There are numerous reasons why doctors are essential to our society. But, if the coronavirus pandemic hasn’t proven that already, then just think of all the medical care people might need in case another war breaks out, as tensions between Ukraine and Russia seem to be at an all-time high.
Broken by Life
Hello and welcome to my broken mind. I implore you to understand that the sentences you are reading and the world that you are about to dive into could be triggering and even dangerous on some levels. You see, I have Borderline Personality Disorder. Every single day in my mind the world is both pure bliss and utter hell, a rainbow of emotions with no end, only extremes. Nothing is ever simple in my mind. Feeling a thirst can and will turn my brain into a tornado of unsure thoughts. Have I drunk enough water today? Should I have any more caffeine? Do I want something hot or cold? So many questions over a simple need to drink something, so I settle on the easy answer.... water. You would think that is where it ends right, Haha, you'd be wrong. Now that I have drank the water, I am completely and utterly feel let down on the fact that I had other options and failed to give them enough thought. Yet oddly enough I am proud that I took the healthier option. Now that my thirst is satisfied, I wonder, could I have taken a sweeter and more enjoyable option such as a soda. I am really not supposed to have soda, way too many calories and way too much sugar but it would have been nice for the moment.
