Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
I Grew Up with Trauma/Racism
Add agism, and some others. ~~~~ I grew up in a town close to three reservations. My dad died when I was 10 years old and we moved out of the city, and didn’t return to the reservation that my mother grew up in. We were living about 1 hour from her childhood home.

Shadows of the Mind
In the labyrinthine corridors of the human psyche, few phenomena command as profound a contemplation as clinical depression. Beyond the transient melancholy evoked by fleeting sorrows, lies a profound enigma - a chasm of despair that defies conventional understanding. Embarking on a philosophical odyssey, we venture into the murky depths of this existential quandary, seeking not merely to dissect its components, but to unearth the profound truths it unveils about the human condition.

Saying Goodbye to the Blues. Top Story - April 2024.
I woke up this morning knowing my depression had come for a visit. I should have known it was coming. I haven't been able to sleep very well the past few days, but I chalked it up to my creative mind going on overdrive recently. It took me five days to finish a 348 page book when it would have normally took me five hours. My motivation has been dwindling, yes, there were many subtle signs my depression was coming to a head.

I Don't Care
"I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove." - Vincent van Gogh I have struggled for the majority of my life with mental health problems without getting a proper diagnosis. I have only seen a therapist three times, not without trying to get more in. I would like to talk to someone I do not know about my struggles. I want outside input. An unbiased opinion on what is going through my mind most days. It's hard to do. I want to understand why I am the way I am, trying to discover and repair over time. Most of it, I have done alone. Learning, growing, developing, trying to break habits, especially those that are not healthy.

The Importance of Mental Health Awareness in Society
Researching the bewildering maze of life, the covered power cutting our trip - our critical prosperity - is reliably excused. As a peculiar chief, it assembles the musicality of our world, the chance of our planned endeavors, and the curve and weft of our overall people. Investigating this, might we at some point skip further into the persuading importance with respect to very close flourishing thought, fixing its moving nuances like how we cross the tangled methods of our cerebrums.

The Hole
I walk along the edge. The day is sunny and warm. There is a slight breeze and the birds are singing. But I see them but can’t find pleasure in the day. It is coming. I feel it. I feel almost powerless to stop it. A bout of depression is slowly stalking me.

Don't Sign That Medical Release
Fantastic neuro-spicy TikTokkers raised my awareness about ADHD in women enough to inspire me to get tested at the age of 58. Unfortunately, nobody warned me about how much leeway a psychiatrist has when passing on your most traumatic, sexual, and personal details, including all of his session notes which he can send to your general practitioner. Now my most personal experiences and thoughts are available to non-medical office staff, an entire hospital/ insurance system and everyone in their offices with access to medical files.

Self-Knowledge and Meditation
Do you know we live in a hypnotic world? We are delusional thinkers and live in a fantasy world of words. However, there is a world beyond words called reality that you see right before your eyes in the present, which is timeless and eternal, and people have no idea how they are related to it. To understand reality, one requires self-knowledge.

The Science Behind ADHD and Why You Are Not Lazy
ADHD is a highly complex developmental disorder, starting in childhood and persisting into adulthood, severely impacting the lives of the individuals affected. With one in 25 adults living with the disorder, chances are high that it affects one of your colleagues, friends, family members or maybe even yourself. In order to reduce the stigmatization of mental illnesses in general and ADHD in particular, it is important to educate the general public about the particularities of the disorder. For people who are not familiar with ADHD, the typical behavior of affected individuals cannot be distinguished from undesirable habits such as laziness and procrastination, which is often fatal for those affected in the form of unfair treatment and significant disadvantages on their career path. The following article aims to provide a good overview of ADHD, with a particular focus on the day-to-day difficulties experienced by affected individuals and the underlying neuronal characteristics of the disorder.
