This condition can have far-reaching consequences for those affected, leading to significant distress and impairment in their lives. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of erotomania, exploring its symptoms, causes, and the ways it can be treated both medically and psychologically.

Have you ever watched your friends enjoy a live music show until the sun goes down, then enjoy a delicious meal at a famous restaurant? The more you browse through post after post showing these fun moments, the more mixed your feelings become. It was hard to explain, but it felt as if there was a mixture of self-dislike and envy. This strange sensation is increasingly common among many social media users. This phenomenon can be explained as ongoing anxiety when we know that other people are enjoying happy moments, while we are not there or are not involved in the experience.

A Palette of Possibilities

Be it the war on drugs, or the war on poverty, or homelessness or any of a hundred other social problems the US and other countries around the world have declared war on, our record remains abysmal. It remains where it has been stuck seemingly forever at zero victories and very little tangible ground gained. The record is actually so bad that it appears as if declaring war on a thing is the metaphysical opposite of what one should do if wanting to make a positive change to a persistent social problem. The war on drugs is perhaps the best known example of the failure of the let's declare war on something we want to go away approach to social policy. Many, many drugs became and remain combatants in this many decades old war. Cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and other opiates, meth, marijuana, LSD, etc. Interestingly however one of the drugs that somehow managed to be left out of the war on drugs was nicotine. Specifically nicotine in the form of cigarettes. And, surprisingly to some I guess, they are the one drug (technically cigarettes are only a particularly deadly delivery mechanism for the addictive drug nicotine) that has been soundly defeated. They have in fact had their asses kicked. Completely, totally, absolutely crushed. In less than two decades cigarettes have gone from the hip, cool, must have accessory of the rebel without a cause, to a disgusting, hated, and reviled evil that no one in their right mind wants to have anything to do with. Cigarette smoking has become about as popular as Yahoo mail. That is to say, not popular at all with demand and usage at record lows. Meanwhile all the other addictive drugs still slugging it out in the war on drugs remain as popular or more so than ever. As popular as Google Maps. That is to say, quite popular and in heavy demand with usage at historic highs (no pun intended).

Muhammad MohsinPublished 7 months ago in PsycheA Whole New Ball Game: Pressed “Prescription” Pills
Author foreword I got sober nearly 5 years ago. At this time pills were considered a “safe” option in terms of risk of overdose. You knew what you were getting. You bought Xanax, you knew you were getting Xanax. You bought oxycodone, that what you were getting. It was a miserable life of addiction, but things were slightly safer. The risk of overdose was always looming, but to a smaller degree. I came across a few pressed pills near the end of my using days, and they were immediately identifiable as fake. Chalky, misshaped, etc.

Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are categorized by a pathological means of either restricting food or over indulgence in food that becomes a persistent behavioral pattern. These behaviors tend to have negative emotions and thoughts surrounding food. The cause is still unknown and being debated and researched. In 2006 when I took my first Psychology course the one line that stood out to me is that Psychology is empirical. That means it has to be observed and regarding Psychology, it is ever changing. There has been some studies on the basis of eating disorders that genetics do play a link. This is not very much elaborated on, yet there is a direct correlation when observing twin studies.
Sid Aaron HirjiPublished 8 months ago in Psyche Establishing Boundaries
Setting boundaries with someone struggling with addiction can be challenging, but it's essential for both your well-being and theirs. Many alcoholics or addicts only achieve sobriety when their loved ones set hard boundaries and stop enabling. Most of the staff at Tennessee Detox Center are in recovery and can attest to the impact boundaries played on their decision to finally accept help. Here are some suggestions for establishing healthy boundaries:

I didn't expect to see him here, Outside smoking. I'm rocking a nicotine patch. I was joking, I mean I did quit but who feels like joking now? I saw his scowl and raised him a furrowed brow. I hope he remembers how we used to read Shakespeare and we barely understood it but it gave us a voice or a language. I don't read anymore but if I did We would be reading it tonight for sure. I keep thinking about how the timing feels false. Some days are faster than my fucking pulse and others go so slow like this morning felt like a month ago. There was a time when I thought that we were going to always be together. It was the three of us against the world. We were happy. I am having a hard time letting that go.

Hello, there thank you for reading this article. Kindly subscribe to my article and give it a like if you’ve learned something from it. I am going to share what most couples go through as they try to raise their babies. It can happen to anyone don’t just ignore the red flag. Recently, divorce has been on the rise. It has become normal and our society has welcomed it. One deadly thing that is causing it is depression after the couple has given birth. Every couple's primary objective is to become parents. Is this a thrilling time? It can be exciting to be expecting a child, especially for first-time parents. A new baby can be very joyful for a married couple. A newborn can, however, also cause a great deal of worry and annoyance, particularly if the mother experiences postpartum depression after giving birth. I am sure no one goes into marriage with the intention of leaving but the pressure generated has made it like that. A form of depression that develops after having a baby is called postpartum depression. Up to 30% of persons are affected. Postpartum depression causes emotional highs and lows, frequent crying, exhaustion, guilt, and anxiety, as well as the possibility of difficulty caring for the newborn. Most women experience postpartum depression two weeks after giving birth. More specifically, this mood illness might have a 1 to 26 percent typical impact on new fathers.

Playing Fortnite everyday to complete the 3 daily goals feels more important to me than anything else. Getting those 45,000 points, or else they will disappear if I don't claim them. What are those points used for? What are their significance? I have been playing for months, and I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I want more "XP". I must hoard.
