The Metaphysical Properties and Healing Properties with Shiva Eye Shells
Hindu God, Shiva A.K.A, Mahadeva (Love) Shiva Eye History The Shive Eye is named after a Hindu God, Shiva A.K.A, Mahadeva (Love). It is genuinely believed that the existence of Shiva is beyond a moment in time and space. As a Supreme Spirit in Shaivism, Shiva is still one of the major traditions within Hinduism to this day. It was believed in India that there was a god of lust and a god of love. During this time, the story explains that Shiva (God of Love) became disturbed by Kamadeva (God of Lust) and so he opened his Third Eye (fierce and fiery eye) and charred Kamadeva (God of Lust) to ashes for shooting an arrow at his heart. It is a firm belief that it is a “trap door” to the Gods Third Eye found in many Hindu legends of the God.

Antidepressants Were My Friends
I was sitting in the waiting room with a teenage boy. He didn’t look at me, staring at his feet, tapping fingers on his skinny thighs. I don’t remember his face, but I can still picture the weird, black cartoon ACDC t-shirt he was wearing. He reminded me of my brother, a sad metalhead whom no one understood.

The Leaked Photo That This Kardashian Begs You Not To See
If you use Instagram frequently and spend a lot of time on social media, you probably know who the Kardashian/Jenner are. You know, the billionaire sisters whose names all start with K. Yeah, those. If you already know them, you probably saw the Khloe Kardashian leaked photos, and if not, you may be imagining some images in her birthday outfit without her consent, but no, they are just photos in a bikini.

The effect of tourism on depression, sharing of treatment experience of recovered patients
I think back to the things that have made me happy in the past ten years, only the time when I traveled to Tibet by bike. Other memories can be completely passed away. It is best for people with depression to get out of the environment that brings you depression. Then don't stay alone. If you stay alone, your brain will overthink. Then go on a trip if you can't stand it. Traveling really has a good positive effect on the treatment of depression. Especially the way of asceticism like the way we ride a bicycle, yes, I only think about it now, and now I know the reason after I wake up. I didn't even know that I was in depression before, and I didn't know what would make me so happy riding. A lot of exercise is very helpful to the improvement of anxiety and depression. Exercise plus travel, the effect brought by 1+1 is greater than 2. Every time the ride is over, that kind of mental outlook is particularly good. When I look in the mirror, I feel a lot better. Unlike when I was faint and insomnia when I was depressed, I felt frustrated when I looked in the mirror. I remember more than one netizen said that I was very yin.

Harvard psychologist: 4 manifestations of children's low self-esteem, parents should intervene in time
The inferiority complex will accompany a person's life and have a great impact on their psychological growth, especially for children. If a child has an inferiority complex since childhood, both work and family will be affected when they grow up. Therefore, parents should pay more attention when educating their children, and don't let their children take a detour!

Interpretation
There are different ways to interpret an idea, even a word. The Sun is very far away, but the Sun is also very near since I can see it in your eyes. I do not like Carl Jung but I still like you when you mention his ideas or think that he was right. I love Freud but you may not. Will you dislike me because I do? I adore Nietzsche but many do not for one reason or another. Many people refuse to hear the truth since it counters any beliefs they may hold. Change is difficult to accept. It is hard to wear a mask on top of a mask on top of a mask. The only important mask is the one we wear to hopefully avoid and beat COVID.

I went from beautifully broken to unbelievable badass.
I’ve had low self-esteem for as long as I can remember. I can’t tell you why or how or what caused it, all I can tell you is that from a very early age I somehow just knew I was “less than”. I loved to talk but was always told I talked too much. Anytime I spoke up with an opinion or a thought that went against the majority, I was then made the subject of ridicule and called “stupid” or “dumb” because obviously, I wasn’t smart enough to go with the crowd. That was just one of my major flaws.

Anxiety Almost Killed Me
Hi my name is Courtney. I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was always nervous and very reserved around new people. The anxiety started affecting my everyday life and mundane activities. I would overthink everything and my confidence was very low. I first got prescribed my anxiety medication in 2017. In the beginning I had minor side effects, mainly headaches. I started noticing over time I was increasingly gaining water weight. Even my physician at the time didn’t connect my weight gain to my medication. I fell deep into a depression over the next 3 years. I was working out and even cut out gluten/dairy, started eating more vegetables, drinking more water and focusing on getting more sleep. Nothing seemed to be working. It was very difficult to buy clothes and feel confident in something that made me feel “fat”. I started losing a little weight over time but I still was retaining water like crazy. I finally decided to speak with my doctor (new physician) and decided to taper off of my medication. In May 2021 I finally tapered off of my medication (which I had done in the past and I also resigned from my job). Few days go by and I start feeling very emotional, crying, dizziness, nausea and depression. It got so bad that I couldn’t get up to cook, clean, dishes or even stand long enough in the shower without feeling dizzy. I would post on my socialmedia/networking from my couch. I ended up having crippling social anxiety and feeling isolated. I kept thinking,”Is this worth it?” I made the decision to go back on my medication (lowest dosage) I was like enough is enough. I tried meditating, smoking marijuana and listening to music. The symptoms were too much to bare. I would constantly get negative thoughts. I felt trapped in my own body and wanted to give up. My boyfriend has been so supportive and patient. I would feel bad when I was fed up and frustrated. I would yell at him about little things. It was putting a damper on our relationship. We are in such a better place and getting stronger everyday. I’m also getting my strength back. I believe what you put into the world you get back. I recently launched my own business. I feel more resilient moving forward. Remember to check on people. You never know what someone is going through! Instagram: @Courtlashae5
