Elliott BlackPublished 2 years ago in Psyche[Act 3] A Dash Of Disillusion, As Anxiety Levels Peak Over 9000
Scene 1 (TW: Rape) The first month seemed to come and go as I'd said it would; naturally. But I wasn't a natural boy, and things were about to go off the rails quickly. With Juliet's consistent questioning of my love coupled with how hard I was trying, I wasn't sure what love meant to her. I wasn't sure who was in control of our relationship; us, or other people.

My chest is tight. The center of my sternum is being pulled in and down inside of me. A dizzying static is quickly creeping through my head, shooting down to my sweaty palms. With unsteady, rushed breathing, I tense my shoulders and grit my teeth. A sense of panic and hopelessness is about to overcome me like a dark heavy rain cloud, ready to soak me to the bone. I shiver in frightened anticipation and look ahead.
Ember GrayPublished 2 years ago in PsycheA (kind of) Logical Approach to Emotion
Introduction January 5th, 2021 My mother once told me that when I was a child, all I would do is whine. I was a “very emotional baby and toddler.” Turns out some personality traits really don’t ever change, even as you reach adulthood. I mean sure, I can use my words now and I’m not throwing a tantrum because I can’t have a cookie, but the concept is the same.
Harper RileyPublished 2 years ago in PsycheLimiting Beliefs
She seemed to be such a far and distant memory... a whim, perhaps - a mirage of life - unsure that she truly existed. She was a creator, a strength of life that seemed resemble a unicorn, given the situation she had corrupted from. Unable to defect, a failure to launch...
Would You Be Proud
It has been a little over four years now and if I focus on it hard enough the pain is as strong as it was the very day. I used to suppress it and that turned out to be not such a good idea. I descended into the darkness myself. Now I have learned, through many trials and errors, to accept that you’re not here. That there will never truly be any answers, just speculation.

Sober living homes are a popular choice for recovery for people in the Medford area. Unlike many residential addiction treatment centers, sober living homes provide a more structured environment with peer support. Residents typically live in a sober living home after they have completed a rehab program. Recovery does not end once you leave residential care. For many people, treatment continues in the form of outpatient care.
Tommye CanterPublished 2 years ago in PsycheBest Sober Living in Bowie, MD
A sober living community in Bowie, Maryland is an alternative to a traditional rehab program. Residents in a sober living facility are expected to adhere to a strict curfew, attend house meetings and therapy sessions, and share household duties. This kind of atmosphere helps young adults overcome substance abuse. A residential treatment center is usually very formal and has a high-stress environment. Therefore, sober living facilities are an excellent choice for recovering addicts.
Manie WykoffPublished 2 years ago in PsycheEuphoria character breakdown
We learn in season 1 that Rue lost her father and only has her mother Leslie and little sister Gia. We also learn that Rue is a 17 year old drug addict who admits she has zero intentions of ever getting clean. I feel that the show has given each character 1 reason for being as significant as they are. Rue’s reason for being such a main character is to see what will be the cause of her actually getting clean, so that being said we are being dragged through the process of seeing her fight to keep drugs in her life. We have already seen the lengths she is willing to go, lying, faking drug tests and stealing. We start off seeing Rue as this quiet, very lowkey person but in reality I think she is this loud and very outgoing person but we aren't being allowed to see it.
