At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.
It's NOT a Sign of Weakness. Top Story - May 2025. Content Warning.
In my last story, I discussed the topic of mental health and Boston Red Sox player Jarren Duran. Duran exchanged words with a Cleveland Guardians fan during a recent game, which the fan responded with an insensitive remark, referring to the outfielder's suicide attempts in 2021 and 2022. I condemned that fan for his actions and should face some sort of punishment from MLB and/or the Guardians organization. Duran has previously been open about his struggles with depression. He has full support from his fellow Red Sox players and the organization. He's not the only player who has been open about their mental health. Dansby Swanson of the Chicago Cubs recently revealed on a podcast that he also had difficulties with alcohol on top of his mental health issues during the early stages of his career. Last year, I watched an ad from MLB about in times of difficulties, there's always people that will support you unconditionally. People tend to forget that athletes are regular individuals, too. I never put anyone famous on pedestals, because you never know what they're going through. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, which has been observed in the United States since 1949. Athletes, celebrities, and everyday people like me are sharing our stories in order to let others know that they're not alone. One of the misconceptions that I dislike the most about mental health is that seeking help for it or discussing your struggles with it means that you're a weak person. This will only make people reluctant or hesitant to seek help. That's the reason why there's so much stigma behind it. Just because someone is depressed, it doesn't mean that they're less of a person. Someone asking for help when they're feeling down should be commended, not chastised. If you know someone who is suffering from mental health problems, support them unconditionally, because they need all of it.

My Thoughts About Jarren Duran . Content Warning.
Mental health---let's talk about it. As of 2025, nearly 800 million people globally have been diagnosed with mental disorders. During the global pandemic in 2020, individuals like me were isolated and increasingly desperate to be with our friends and loved ones. Through it all, celebrities and everyday people like us shared their personal stories about mental health. It has a stigma behind it, because there are those who are too afraid to open up about their mental struggles, fearing judgment from others, which is completely understandable. I've been open about my struggles with depression and anxiety for years, especially during the pandemic. Not only that, but I've had several suicide attempts.

A kaleidoscope of darkness
Out of all the Greek islands, I am back here, at the honeymoon spot. What was I thinking, self punishment or a dark kind of reminiscence? Either way, years have passed, a bit more than twenty to be precise and yet there is still that strange quality I possess, taking the positive out of a kaleidoscope of darkness and from negative whispers in the night.

Shadows of Obsession
The Beginning of Darkness Eva was always unique, a girl whose thoughts teetered on the brink of reality and madness. Born beneath a tempestuous sky, she entered the world silently, her initial cries overshadowed by the roar of thunder. Her parents, weighed down by their own challenges, were unable to offer the affection she yearned for. Tragically, when she was merely an infant, a devastating car accident took their lives, leaving her without family. The state subsequently placed her in a succession of foster homes, each more fleeting than the previous one. Although she yearned for love and security, Eva found comfort solely in her rich imagination—crafting realms filled with characters who cherished her. However, as she matured, her dreams took a darker turn, descending into obsession and paranoia.

Psychologist vs. Therapist: What’s the Difference
Anyone who offers counseling services can label themselves a therapist. Because the term ‘therapist’ can also refer to other counseling experts, it may include social workers, psychiatrists, or even pastors. Most of the people often believe that psychologists are the one and only mental health specialists who use talk therapy to help people with mental conditions. In fact, this is not true. Family and marriage therapists can also treat illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and so on. The gap between a psychologist and a therapist isn’t very large but it exists. In this blog about psychologists vs. therapists, we’ll discuss:
