disorder
The spectrum of Mental Health disorders is incredibly vast; we showcase the multitude of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behavior.
Dyspraxia and my 'Musa'
Hello :) above is a video of Musa from Fate: The Winx Saga. I will explain how this relates later. My name is Amber Forest. Some of you know me as Chloe, a member of a group called Dyspraxia Dialogues based in Norfolk. Please check them out on Facebook! If you have been following my stories, it will be no secret that I have a developmental difference called dyspraxia or 'Developmental Co-ordination Disorder.' For those who do not know what that is, I am going to create my own definition later because this one is misleading:

Whispers in the Mind
In the dimly lit room, the soft glow of a flickering candle barely penetrated the shadows that clung to the corners. Adam sat on the edge of his bed, his hands trembling as he clutched a worn journal to his chest. His mind was a battleground, torn between reality and delusion, each vying for control of his fractured psyche.

Did You Say Death By Mental Illness ?
“We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness.” The words were deliberate. Powerful. And full of truth. It was a teachable moment, gracefully fulfilled when Ashley and Wynonna Judd uttered these words to the public last year, announcing the sad, untimely death of their mother, the beloved country music icon.

How to care for oneself while grieving
How to care for oneself while grieving Grief in its entirety strikes while you least expect it. The atrocity of sadness lies in the false notion of being alone and having it all together all the time. To be or not to be in the constant state of despair is not in one’s hands, as melancholy varies in its intensity ranging from a dejected mood to deep and chronic loneliness. Oftentimes people subject their negativity to a mere passage of time, but often there is an underlying cause that needs to be addressed and healed to become in a state of awareness of their emotions and innate being. It is important to bring light to the need to embrace one’s emotions and not shame ourselves with guilt when we don't feel happy or in rhythm with our souls. Often we lose the sense of self when surrounded by grief.

Healthy vs. Narcissistic Ghosting.
Ghosting is a form of stonewalling considered one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in romantic relationships. Ghosting and stonewalling are avoidance defence strategies that break emotional bonds, lead to conflict, dysfunction, and eventual destruction of a relationship.

Art and Suffering
There exists a school of thought that maintains that without great suffering and depth of experience, no truly great art can arise. Why does it seem like so many artists, both in the past and in more recent times, appear to have been the victims of so many misfortunes, turbulent psychological states, unhappy childhoods and family backgrounds, and miserable or failed marriages and relationships? Is this unhappiness perhaps part and parcel of the human condition, and are artists just the more obvious or poetic martyrs?

Ableist Language You Need To Stop Using
ThWhat is ableism, and why is it harmful? The disabled community is the world's largest minority. It's also the only minority that anyone could become part of at any time. Many non-disabled people take their health for granted. When you're used to living without worry, it's often easy to ignore the thought of how common disability actually is. According to the World Health Organization, nearly one and a half billion people worldwide live with some type of disability, and it isn't always visible.

The Dark Truth. Content Warning.
I want to start with something that is hopefully obvious... Eating disorders should NOT be glamorized. Some of the stuff in here is well known but other stuff isn't as obvious unless you deal with or have dealt with them in the past.
