While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, persistent or overwhelming anxiety can interfere with daily activities.

Does city life contribute to psychosis?
Is life in the city contributing to psychosis in Denver? A study published this week in JAMA Psychiatry showed urban settings contributed to more acute cases of psychosis than rural areas. “We found that compared with rural neighborhoods, neighborhoods characterized by urbanicity and environmental exposure (i.e., air and noise pollution) were unilaterally associated with more severe psychotic symptoms, but that more severe depression and anxiety symptoms were specific to individuals residing in urban neighborhoods that also had high area deprivation (i.e., poor housing conditions, health outcomes, and socioeconomic disadvantage),” according to the study. “These findings remained significant after controlling for individual-level characteristics such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, education level, and household income.”

I've been gone a long time, and I'm afraid to dip my toes back into the water. Writing is very difficult for me now. I haven't been doing a lot of it, if any of it at all, and it is as though I've completely forgotten how.

Flashback. Nuns at Catholic Daycare in Habits. Grape juice and crackers. Even Catholic kids are selfish and mean. Flashback. I pissed my pants. I couldn't kick the big red ball at kickball. I don't know anyone's name.

Suicide Prevention: Honorable endeavor or impossible mission?
Suicide is a serious subject and I haven't written about it seriously or intellectually for most of my writing career. I've written many poems expressing in various ways the emotions and thoughts of a suicidal person. I've also written some stories in an attempt to shed some light on the matter. However, today's submission isn't about being "suicidal" or dealing with mental illness. In this article, I'd like to discuss mental health in general and the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (also known as The Baker Act). I'd also like to share my personal experiences with suicide, crisis stabilization facilities, and my overall opinions about how people should handle this subject. What makes me an expert? Do I have a Doctorate degree in Psychology? No, I majored in English. But I've spent 25 years in and out of the "insane asylums" and on and off prescribed psyche medications. I've been to hospitals in Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey. I may not be qualified to prescribe medications, but after 25 years of experience as a diagnosed and treated patient, I feel quite confident in my expertise on the subject.

Dendritic Growth. Content Warning.
The abyss is often seen as a terror—something to run from or act as though it were a barrier. It is understood as a void—the "great chasm fixed" between two impossible points of existence or the deepest strata of our earth and seas. You've perhaps heard that Nietzsche said if you gaze into it long enough, it gazes back. It is not a space to be navigated lightly; instead, entered with caution, or better yet, avoided entirely.

Free – A Lucrative Offer
Have you ever noticed how many things are advertised as "free"? Free apps, free samples, free trials, free content—there’s no shortage of offers that promise something without us having to pay a dime. At first glance, it seems like a great deal. Who doesn’t love getting something for nothing, right? But if we look a little deeper, we realize that “free” often comes with a hidden cost.
