i am whatever you say
In the midst of the bustling crowd, I stand alone, surrounded by their judgment, Black clouds swirling above my head, Each day a struggle to rise above the storm.

He sees the faces of demons... and a wrong diagnosis almost puts him in a mental institution
A rare disease that few people in the world suffer from, caused by a severe vision disorder, which causes a person to see parts of people’s faces distorted in shape, color, or position, while the rest of the body parts remain as they are in their natural shape. It is known as “prosopometamorphopsia” or “PMO.”

The Estate Sale - Seeing The Best & Worst of Humanity
I stumble out to the sidewalk, the desert sun hitting my face. Whoa, that was close — the garage walls had been closing in on me, the mountains and mountains threatening to envelop me.

What is depression? - Helen M. Farrell.
"Misery" much of the time ripples through talks like a butterfly, yet its genuine weight is regularly misjudged. Notwithstanding, underneath its honest seeming outside is a labyrinth of nuances and intricacies. It's not only a transient burdensome episode; a boundless state of mind influences a large number of individuals internationally. We strip back layers of side effects, causes, and treatments as we set out on a journey to comprehend the strange idea of discouragement, every one of which uncovers another part of this mind boggling problem.

Dyspraxia and my 'Musa'
Hello :) above is a video of Musa from Fate: The Winx Saga. I will explain how this relates later. My name is Amber Forest. Some of you know me as Chloe, a member of a group called Dyspraxia Dialogues based in Norfolk. Please check them out on Facebook! If you have been following my stories, it will be no secret that I have a developmental difference called dyspraxia or 'Developmental Co-ordination Disorder.' For those who do not know what that is, I am going to create my own definition later because this one is misleading:

I wish I’d paid more attention to the red flags. I wish I’d listened to those who truly love me. I don’t know you anymore.

The broken window
Have you ever wondered why when we enter a neighborhood inhabited only by the rich, the neighborhood seems to us pure, elegant and flawless, and you feel safe while walking in it and if you park your car, you do not fear for it, while if you pass through a poor, marginalized neighborhood full of filth, you will feel insecure, a thief may come out to rob you, cleanliness is almost non-existent, everything is broken, and you cannot park your car safely , There is this strange and contradictory situation , you may think it is due to the upbringing of both the poor and the rich, but no. In 1969, a famous American psychologist and sociologist from Stanford University named Philip Zimbardo decided to do strange research on which an even stranger theory called the Broken Window Theory was built by sociologists James Wilson and George Keeling in 1982 and later turned into one of the most important studies in criminology and social and psychological sciences in the world . The theory says that regardless of whether this neighborhood is inhabited by rich or poor people. One broken window in this neighborhood will soon lead to the appearance of more broken windows. The theory literally says that one broken window that has not been repaired is a signal that no one cares and therefore breaking more windows will not cost anything, and the disorder leads to increased levels of fear in citizens, which leads them to withdraw from society and reduce participation in informal social control.

How to care for oneself while grieving
How to care for oneself while grieving Grief in its entirety strikes while you least expect it. The atrocity of sadness lies in the false notion of being alone and having it all together all the time. To be or not to be in the constant state of despair is not in one’s hands, as melancholy varies in its intensity ranging from a dejected mood to deep and chronic loneliness. Oftentimes people subject their negativity to a mere passage of time, but often there is an underlying cause that needs to be addressed and healed to become in a state of awareness of their emotions and innate being. It is important to bring light to the need to embrace one’s emotions and not shame ourselves with guilt when we don't feel happy or in rhythm with our souls. Often we lose the sense of self when surrounded by grief.

Talking About Abuse is Uncomfortable As Hell
It’s tough to really know who I am without knowing me through the lens of my trauma. I try not to think of this as a particularly negative thing; it’s just information. Backstory that’s important to the current plot.

Trauma, Grief, and Loss. Top Story - March 2024.
Can we fill in the rest of the frames? Yes. For sure we can add grief and loss. Chronic bereavement is another. Overdose. Suicide. Addiction. More specific abuse; rape, domestic violence, incest, physical and emotional neglect. Or fill in the blanks with your trauma.
