The Secret of Adaptability: Finding Your Place in a Rapidly Changing World
As we navigate the 21st century, an era saturated with information, each swipe on our phones and each click of our mouse introduces us to massive shifts constantly flooding into our lives. From groundbreaking technological revolutions to profound cultural and societal advancements, the world is evolving at a pace that often feels too rapid for us to keep up with. Think about it: just a decade ago, we were exhilarated by the coverage of 3G networks; today, 5G and AI are integral parts of our daily lives. In this fast-paced environment, each one of us inevitably faces monumental challenges. Our habits are continuously disrupted, the influx of new skills and knowledge to learn seems endless, and at its core, our very mindsets need to pivot to adapt to this brave new world.

Suffering and smiling: how to pretend you're not chronically ill
Research shows that people with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have the same quality of life as kidney failure patents that are on dialysis. I don’t think a lot of people realize that it’s bad. When I was diagnosed my doctor said that it’s not a death sentence but it might feel like one. I know that I’m not going to get better. I don’t think that I truly made peace with that. It’s not a cold I am not going to wake up one day and be perfectly fine. I don’t think that my family fully understands. My life isn’t about living anymore it was about surviving. I want my life so bad. I’m doing everything I can. 15% of patients with my condition faint. I am sadly apart of that 15%. On the bad days I faint somewhere between 4-9 times a day. It’s a very isolating experience. So the doctors and the clinics everything a patient tries. Anything to get me to remotely feel better.

How criticism can actually be GOOD for you!
Who in their right mind likes to be criticized? No one! Criticism has both positive and negative meanings. Sadly, we are more inclined towards the latter. But if one learns to take criticism in the best way possible, it can lead to becoming the person one has always dreamed of. Criticism teaches valuable qualities such as tolerance, communication skills, humility, and emotional resilience. Mastering the art of handling criticism can lead to the acquisition of these great abilities.

Would One Person Calling You 'Ugly' Destroy Your Self-Esteem?
It is always hard to take criticisms or to deal with the negative reaction of others. But there is an important point to bear in mind for your own mental wellbeing. If just ONE person (like a date, etc.) calling you ‘ugly’ destroys your self-esteem, then you didn't have much self-esteem in the first place! After all, if it takes just one individual in our whole wide world to make you feel so bad about you, what kind of self-esteem did you have, except a low one? You have nothing to support your emotional health, so it gets easily knocked at the slightest negative action. As you're not feeling very good about you in the first place, the minute someone says something you don't like to hear, you feel ‘destroyed’. That really does not suggest any firm foundation of self-value or self-love, if other people’s comments count more than what you think of yourself.

Psychosis
"Psychosis is a condition that affects the way your brain processes information. It causes you to lose touch with reality. People might see, hear, or believe things that aren’t real. Psychosis is a symptom, not an illness" (WebMD Editorial Contributors, 2021). Another way of defining it is - "psychosis is a combination of symptoms resulting in an impaired relationship with reality. It can be a symptom of serious mental health disorders. People who are experiencing psychosis may have either hallucinations or delusions" (Carey, 2018).

Walking The Path
When we are making the journey through this life, we will come across people, that may offer what I like to term a glimpse, meaning that they will come into your life, for a brief period of time, and then they will leave just as quickly as they came.

Why the Practice of Mindfulness Might Backfire on Autistic People
Like many autistic people, I have always been a highly anxious person. I started having panic attacks at 15 years old, and I've probably had c-PTSD for even longer. Life as an undiagnosed autistic person is traumatizing, full stop.
