coping

Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.

Sadness.. AI-Generated.
Sadness is a universal emotion, deeply intertwined with the human experience. It is both a natural response to life's challenges and an essential part of our emotional spectrum. While often viewed as negative or undesirable, sadness plays a crucial role in helping us process loss, disappointment, and hardship, guiding us through introspection, self-awareness, and, ultimately, personal growth.

Everything For Me Is All-Or-Nothing
As far back as I can remember everything has been all-or-nothing. I liked to skateboard, so my life revolved around it. I wore the clothes, watched the videos, listened to the music, and skateboarded twenty-four-seven. It was my first real obsession.

Suicide Prevention: Honorable endeavor or impossible mission?
Suicide is a serious subject and I haven't written about it seriously or intellectually for most of my writing career. I've written many poems expressing in various ways the emotions and thoughts of a suicidal person. I've also written some stories in an attempt to shed some light on the matter. However, today's submission isn't about being "suicidal" or dealing with mental illness. In this article, I'd like to discuss mental health in general and the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (also known as The Baker Act). I'd also like to share my personal experiences with suicide, crisis stabilization facilities, and my overall opinions about how people should handle this subject. What makes me an expert? Do I have a Doctorate degree in Psychology? No, I majored in English. But I've spent 25 years in and out of the "insane asylums" and on and off prescribed psyche medications. I've been to hospitals in Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey. I may not be qualified to prescribe medications, but after 25 years of experience as a diagnosed and treated patient, I feel quite confident in my expertise on the subject.

Lament Of The Soul
Life is Not Often Easy. Life is Not Often Fair. I See the Pain that Others Have. I Feel the Agony that Infects their Lives.

Proper Injection Techniques and Angles: A Pharmacist's Essential Guide
Pharmacists, especially those working in community pharmacies or clinics, often go beyond the traditional role of dispensing medications. Administering injections to patients is a critical part of their responsibilities. However, giving injections requires more than just skill—it demands precise knowledge of the proper techniques, angles, and procedures to ensure safety and effectiveness. Administering an injection at the wrong angle can lead to complications such as tissue damage, infections, and even improper absorption of the medication. Therefore, understanding the correct techniques is vital for both patient safety and the pharmacist's professional competence.

Lessons in Broken Promises and Learning to Trust Myself
Trust is a building block of our lives, some might say it is the cornerstone of existence. I’m not talking about trust in others. I’m talking about trust in ourselves.

Facing The Darkness. Content Warning.
The World can be a Scary Place, and there is Darkness that exists. I have been thinking about this a lot today. I received an email from an organization that I donate to, Save the Children.

Dendritic Growth. Content Warning.
The abyss is often seen as a terror—something to run from or act as though it were a barrier. It is understood as a void—the "great chasm fixed" between two impossible points of existence or the deepest strata of our earth and seas. You've perhaps heard that Nietzsche said if you gaze into it long enough, it gazes back. It is not a space to be navigated lightly; instead, entered with caution, or better yet, avoided entirely.

Free – A Lucrative Offer
Have you ever noticed how many things are advertised as "free"? Free apps, free samples, free trials, free content—there’s no shortage of offers that promise something without us having to pay a dime. At first glance, it seems like a great deal. Who doesn’t love getting something for nothing, right? But if we look a little deeper, we realize that “free” often comes with a hidden cost.

It's a good thing, ain't it?
You'd think that the brilliance of a sugar maple leaf in autumn would shatter all doubts about the quality of the season, right? Just look at this tree! I took this photo about seven years ago on my way home from work. I knew it was close to the end of the leaf-peeping season, so I purposefully took a route that would lead me past this particular beauty. I pulled into the weeds on the side of the road, climbed out of my 2004 Civic, and proceeded to snap some photographs with my ancient Samsung cell phone.
