humanity

Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Behind the mask
When I got diagnosed with ADHD, a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I finally had an answer for why my brain was a little different, why I found it easy to do certain things but that my laziness wasn’t laziness.

Psparkles Psychosis (part II)
Wind whipped like a remorseless smack across Psparkles face. Her gait quickened. As she navigated the swathes of human swine- the sidewalk felt too small. Crowds had never been easy. Hoodie pulled up over her head, she kept her gaze trained on only the ground directly in front of her next footstep.

Mental Illness: Preparing for my First Appointment
My spouse, who had long noticed a shift in my mental state, in my moods—in how I began to react to stress—talked to me one night about getting therapy. But as one would expect, I was not fascinated by the idea.

How Non-Verbal Communication Influences Gender Inequality
Biological discrepancies include hormonal and chromosome differences. Relative or average physical strength found primarily in the upper body as well as the lower body is often more superior in males, but does not mean that any given man is stronger than a given woman.

What Are You Hiding Psychoanalysis And The Unconscious
When you sleep, what do you dream of? Do you dream of enjoyable things like lounging in the beach? Do you dream of being in a situation you’ve never even thought of?

The Mountain Top Syndrome
Who am I to tell you absolutely anything about how you ought to live, behave, act or exist? Fuck you — is what I would say at some point if I were you. What I can do, though, is to express my own take on the world based on the experiences that shape me, as I go along this long and meandering path, and shut off my inner preacher.

my story of survival
Well, this is the first story that I'm writing on here. I guess I should probably introduce myself, my name is Julie and ever since I was 12, I have struggled and battled with depression and anxiety. While, I have battled for a long time, for reference I'm 20 now- there have been many coping strategies and general things about how these disorders/illnesses interact with each other. Specifically how they are within myself, my behavior, my mood, and my general perspective of life.

"She Said What?"
* This will be a potentially triggering post as it covers Covid, disabilities, and medical trauma. It is not meant to come from a trauma-informed perspective but to be shared as a full expression of my humanity and personal truths. Also, I chose the above image because it so closely resembles how I've felt, leaning over the side of my couch with my blanket, on days I've felt overwhelmed and in shut-down mode. *

Can You Handle Being “Kimm-ED Out?
OUR MIND PERCEIVES ITSELF TO BE WITHIN A WORLD , IT SEEMS ANYWAY,AND ON A PATH . A PATH ATTEMPTING TO OPEN A DOOR TO WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE CALLED “THE AWAKENING” OR, MORE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD, AS THE RECOGNITION OF ONES TRUE SELF.

“Yep, You Can Do This”
I often tell me this: “Yep, you can do this”. Sometimes, I doubt about if I just can do ‘this’, or what I am doing. Can I really do it? If I can, did I take too much tasks on my plate. Can I really lay this piece on the violin? Can I actually write the story? What about the decision I have to make for my children?
