At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.
Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

The race between me... and panic
Colon, parentheses. What do I mean? What do I feel? It feels like my inner body rattles, and I’m unsure if it's real. Im unsure if my actual body is rattling, can people see me shaking? My friend sits next to me as I desperately suck crisp cold night air into my lungs, hoping that every breath forces greater space between me and the lingering panic attack. Can they feel my body rattling as they sit by my side?

Mini Night Story

Likewise, it is not intended to be particular advice for those who are suffering from any illness or psychological disorder, but rather general advice on humanity and self-reflection, open to a broad interpretation that the spectrum of our lives may present to us.

Mental health basics.
I dreamt of a war a month or so ago. Not any particular war, more so the archetype itself, so this won’t be a political post feeding further the extreme division and polarisation we are witnessing once again in the society. Due to me being a mental health advocate, I feel I need to say something on the subject purely from a trauma informed perspective.

5 Ways To Change Envy Into Positive Results
We all have been there; seeing someone who is doing very well in life, we tend to ask ourselves: “What am I doing wrong?” This is why social media gain so much attention from us by flexing the “dream life” almost everyone want to have.

A Flock of Questions. Top Story - December 2023.
It always occurred when least expected. As the moon stalked me home on late car rides. When I sat under my favorite tree contemplating the cracks in the ground caused by the months of drought. While I bent down to tie my shoe.

I Lost My Mind And Got To Know Myself
I lived a split life for a long time. Some things happened that put my life on an unplanned path. Then, in the blink of an eye, my path started to clear, and I realized I might not be who I wanted to be. Better late than never, right?
