Finally Talking
The "I fake it until I make it" saying should be pasted on my forehead. If I'm being honest, and I want to be completely transparent here, my life has been rocky for basically the last 6 years. What I'm about to say is probably one of the only things I'll write about here that people do know. When I was a senior in high school, almost 6 February's ago, I came downstairs for dinner, and walking into the kitchen I stumbled multiple times. However, I couldn't seem to stop.

Comatosa time
This video i made my self. I made this a few years into recovery. In this movie, you will see my mom and stepdad, and myself. You will see pictures of other people from my family, like my sisters and my daughter. You'll see photos of me growing up with people I thought would be there for you thru it all. This video talks about the night of the wreck and the four months after—step by step in a way. 2/26/06 would be the last time I saw the world the way I did. Before the wreck, I was a lost sheep like you. I found me. I love me, so I can love you! You must go in to see you and back to handle today. Please read it and put it down, then pick up another book and so on. A person only taught in school is an uneducated person. There so much you don't learn in school. Life is the most outstanding teacher of all. I made this video so people could learn from my mistake I have made! I would never wish what I went thru on anyone. My body was a condition to go thru what it went thru cause I played hockey all my life. Not ice hockey but dekI play dek hockey, not ice hockey. Fourteen years later, I have learned that everything starts in your mind and ends there as well! I already wrote this one; it was short and sweet and to the point. I have TBI. TBI is a traumatic brain injury. TBI makes it, so difficult to put my words l think down the way I want to. So now im just bullshitting about things because if you can't explain it in the shortest form possible or the most straightforward form, you, my friend, do not know enough about the topic you're trying to tell. Today is a good day; yes, it is. Do you know why it's a good day? As soon as you open your eyes, it would be best if you were like, yes, I'm alive and able to do whatever I want. Now whatever you want is a choice with choices! I hope this was 600 words because I can't talk about what I want to. Trying this is the third trying to get to 600 words s; here we go again. I happen to dab, so im pretty fucking lit right now! Nowadays, change the perspective from a god-fearing perspective to a better view of positivity plus flow because when you are optimistic about life it just flows of goodness. Now, this will be the hardest thing you will ever try to accomplish, but it is achievable! A positive mindset is the end goal. Your worries, problems negativity slowly slow go away when you remain positive always! I have changed my perspective to a positive attitude because it was a negative mindset even tho I was a happy person. I mean, I still did me. I never followed anyone alive. I did fall for the psychological trap of God. But I got Instagram and TikTok that talk all about God. Here my Instagram-mrp32110, youtube-Mr positivity TikTok-mrp32110 LinkedIn-billy Limegrover Vocal- Mr positivity. Ok submitting. Ok, hahaha, so this wasn't 600 yet. So anyway, I'm sitting here playing nhl21 three's. I'm on the might ducks four d4. Listen to all of Eminem's good songs. So im still not sure if this is 600 words, but it is 1041 at night on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, and I'm playing Fortnite with my people. So im going to try this again, and if you haven't noticed, I keep going till it's 600 words, lol, so I guess this isn't 600 words. But now I'm watching this show on Netflix that talks about life after death. This is the one life you get, so make it count! Everyone sees somewhat the same pictures or have the same somewhat experiences. But that's cause they all are affected by the painting of the world of one God! I mean its a psychological warfare out there. Jesus lied. We are psychologically programmed from birth to love God and that all other gods are made up! Why is that why? There is no god because it all starts in mind and ends there as well. There no one coming to save you but you. So look in to find you and go back to your world to handle today. What Im saying is the inner voices you hear are you. We have an inner self, so find it. Make the unconscious conscious. Now it said that it was 600 words and published, but then I got this email saying it's not 600 words or to their standards. Try again!

What is BPD?
What is a Personality Disorder? A personality disorder affects how someone sees, thinks, feels or relates to others; having a personality disorder means that you experience things much differently to how the average person experiences things. A person with no known mental health disorder/illness is known as a neurotypical person, as they have no neurological problems that affect their thinking, feelings or their perception. The most common features of a personality disorder are as follows:

I Was the Toxic One in My Last Relationship
I used to lie to my therapist. I wanted her to think I was a good person, and by proxy, I suppose I wanted for myself to think that too. It occurs to me now that my notion of therapy was wrong. I wasn’t going to therapy to get help in becoming better, I was going to be told that I was already where I needed to be.

How an ASD adult with PTSD survives quarantine
Hello, My name is Miranda. I am 28 years old as of 2020. Current events have not been kind to me. Yes, that is true for everyone. However, being a high functioning adult with special needs during a complete lock-down takes its toll. My physical and mental health have suffered due to "social distancing". This may sound strange, as most people assume that Autism is an anti-social disorder. It's not!

The Codependent Life
Let's talk about Codependency vs. Interdependency. Codependency in a relationship looks like one partner providing full support and fulfillment of needs for the other while in an interdependent relationship, both partners are able to meet each other’s and their own needs equally. There's a few more key differences, but we will get in to that in a minute. I want to start with this aspect because it is one that stands out the most to me. I've always sought a relationship that would be 50/50 in all aspects. I dreamt of meeting someone who would meet me in the middle while also understanding and loving who I was. I'm so lucky to have found that finally in a partner but for many years I sought relationships that were unhealthy for reasons I wasn't sure of until recently.

How to deal with hopelessness, despair and being suicidal.
Today I wake up confused, scared and completely hopeless at the direction of my life and the choices I've made. Although I try and remain optimistic I can't help but feel a weight baring down on my body and overwhelming sadness that says "stay the fuck in bed there's no point". I know most people will say "you should go to the hospital" but if you're like me and have BPD going to the hospital can sometimes feel like a bad option because I've been there so many fucking times that it seems like a waste of my time.

The Hangover Effect of Trauma
I read a great article by psychotherapist Dr. David A. Treleaven the other day entitled, “Is Mindfulness Safe For Trauma Survivors?”, in which he goes through the real concerns with trauma victims being instructed to practice meditation and mindfulness as a means of processing what’s happened to them.
