Bipolar disorder; understanding the highs, the lows and the in between.
The Struggle of Mental Health in "Hamlet" by W. Shakespeare
Whispered in the darkness, this inquiry initiates a narrative of intrigue, deceit, and ethical ambiguity. In a theatrical production where each character conceals something, the response to this question is anything but straightforward. Penned by William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1601, "Hamlet" portrays its eponymous protagonist tormented by the past, yet paralyzed by the future.

What it's Like to Live with Bipolar Disorder. Content Warning.
I am definitely over simplifying this but that because it is meant to share my story, not really educate on the disorder as a whole. Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by very high highs and very low lows. There are two main types, bipolar type one and bipolar type two. What you have is characterized by how long it lasts and your symptoms.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

The myth of narcissism
In the tapestry of ancient mythology, long preceding the era of ubiquitous selfies, the Greeks and Romans spun a captivating myth about an individual consumed by an excessive fascination with his own image. At the heart of this tale lies Narcissus, a strikingly handsome wanderer traversing the world in quest of love. His narrative takes a dramatic turn when he, after rejecting the advances of a nymph named Echo, chances upon his own reflection in a river. Captivated by the image that met his gaze, Narcissus falls deeply in love with his own reflection. An irresistible allure binds him to this self-admiration, eventually leading to his tragic demise. Legend has it that the spot where Narcissus met his end was marked by the emergence of a flower known as the Narcissus.
