Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
Was It A Breakdown Or A Breakthrough?. Honorable Mention in The Metamorphosis of the Mind Challenge.
One year after my divorce, I went back with my husband, the father of my two children. He was sober and I always thought we would be happy together if he could quit drinking and using drugs.

"LOST IN UNDERSTANDING IN TIME". Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
I created this video song story to talk a little about mental health and what happens when one divorces a narcissist. I thought I would create this out of memory of a friend I knew who was hurt deeply by her ex-husband. This situation occurs in many relationships. The older lady friend of mine reflects about her over 30 years ago. She is sad, but therapy and time she begins to heal from her pain that she hid from people for many years.

Grieving is More Than Losing People in Your Life . Top Story - March 2025.
Grief is normally associated as a strong, natural, multi-faceted and significant emotion, when it comes to the passing away of a loved one. In such a context, a loved one means a family member/relative, friend (no matter the closeness), and (if relevant) a partner/significant other.

Crimson Sky
The night I fractured, the sky bled crimson, its scarlet tears sinking into the earth like the lifeblood of some ancient beast, whose death was written in the stars. Beyond my window, the world twisted, contorted—grotesque hues bleeding into one another like the dying scream of a wounded animal. The dusk itself seemed to have been strangled, suffocated by invisible hands that dragged it deeper into some fathomless void. Inside me, a storm raged, a tempest unholy and ravenous, gnawing at the fragile sinews of my sanity. Shadows slithered up the walls, not merely moving, but living—tearing at the very fabric of reality, whispering tongues ancient and forgotten. My heartbeat thundered like a death knell, and in its rhythm, I felt the undoing of everything I had struggled to preserve.

The Psychological Underpinnings of Benevolent Sexism: A Comprehensive Exploration
A recent study by Clever Girl found that "benevolent sexism" (BS) can hurt women in the short and long term. Benevolent sexism is when someone (usually a man) says something that seems supportive and upbeat but is based on traditional gender stereotypes. Unlike hostile sexism or other overt forms of discrimination, it is unique in that it is often used with intentionally positive intentions and is usually interpreted as such by the recipient. For example, Carla and Alex have been anticipating their manager's annual performance reviews.
