trauma
At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.

Today I'm Angry. My therapist would be so proud. I'm not an angry person, my defaults typically land me somewhere between Sad & Grief-Stricken. But she's been encouraging me to lean into the Anger of it all. Sounds like weird advice maybe, but to the deeply Depressed sometimes we need a little flame to spark our fire back up, fuel the parts of ourselves we thought we lost long ago.

Mother of 1000 Orphans. Top Story - March 2024.
When prompted to write about an inspirational woman, Sindhutai Sapkal immediately came to mind. This woman’s story profoundly altered my life for the better. The example she set shifted my psychology in ways I am certain many decades of therapy could not have achieved.

Against My Will. Content Warning.
I have never shied away from writing about my life with bipolar disorder. I firmly believe mental health is something that should be talked about, not hidden away like some dirty little secret. That is how we remove the stigma of mental health disorders.

Why Are Mental Health Disorders Rising?
Feeling anxious, depressed, and powerless? Well! You are not alone. A growing number of people all over the world have been dealing with mental health problems in fact since 1990. Mental disorders have increased globally by 48% besides the direct health and social impact it has on individuals. This increase in mental health disorders is costing the global economy almost one trillion dollars each year. This means that mental health can no longer be treated as an individual problem, but rather as a widespread public health issue.

Have you ever writhed in your own intrusive thoughts
What Are Intrusive Thoughts? Intrusive thoughts are spontaneous and involuntary mental images, ideas, or impulses that intrude upon our consciousness without warning or invitation. They can take many forms, ranging from fleeting worries and doubts to disturbing or taboo thoughts. While everyone experiences intrusive thoughts from time to time, they can become problematic when they persistently disrupt our peace of mind and interfere with our daily functioning.

A Life for a Life. Content Warning.
My mother planted her voice deep inside my mind. A voice so obnoxious and strident that my autonomy collapsed into a dark corner. She taught me that love was synonymous with abusive control. She mentally imprisoned me to behave only in ways that appeased her. Her love, kindness, and care would vanish when I stepped out of line. Poof! Gone in a cloud of her cigarette smoke. For thirty years, I was chained to her every desire. Each decision I made, person I dated, or friend I had was all for her approval, her favor, her love. In her eyes, if I truly loved her, I would live my life for her. A life that she never got to live. A life that was stolen from her.
