Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.
Echoes in the Fog
Every night for the past month, I've been having the same dream. It's the kind of dream that leaves an impression so vivid, so intense, that you can't shake it off even after you've woken up. It's a nightmare, really, but not in the traditional sense. There's no monster under the bed or shadowy figure chasing me through endless corridors. Instead, it's a nightmare that feels eerily real, like a memory replaying itself over and over.

Managing the Bad Days After Mental Health Recovery
"The fight against yourself is such a fearful war."― Hannah Clayton, Until the Shadows Lengthen I write a lot about my recovery from PTSD and schizophrenia. My message is that you're never too broken to change your life, even if it takes decades, as it did for me.

Raw materials.
I suddenly realised that I don’t have to feel great in order to write. Nor do I have to be inspired and connected to the higher power. It is ideal of course to create from that place. But this world is far from perfect, and so am I. If anything, I doubt that a truly creative person can feel great at all times; their sensitivity is a double edged sword after all. And for the most part, we don’t live in the society that accommodates those with a deeply feeling nature.
