coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Surviving Depression &The War Inside Of Me
Life is a bitch... A phrase that everybody either says or hears at one point of their life or another. A phrase that is so accurate, society might as well just mark it off as universal law. The phrase life is a bitch should be categorized in the same group as Newtons laws of physics, the rules of proper grammar, and the sum of 2+2. In short, the four word sentence might as well be officially respected as a fact of life.

My Long Nights with Macklemore
One hour. When I was at my lowest mental health point in high school, I would listen to Macklemore for a minimum of one hour every single night. I don't think that they intended for "Neon Cathedral", "Otherside", and "Starting Over" to mean so much to a broken 16-year-old girl who didn't have a problem with alcohol or drugs, but it meant more to me than I ever could have expected. Alcohol and drugs weren't my demons, but I sure as hell had other ones. My demons were depression, anxiety, self-harm, disordered eating, guilt, and grief.

The Rundown
I've always liked to write. I would read books all the time as a kid for enjoyment and sometimes to escape my reality. When I was a teenager, I was into poetry and wanted to be a singer in a band, trying my best to write lyrics and learn guitar. At one point, I was living with my mom and she found my journals. Of course, a lot of the songs were about how shitty I felt all of the time. Well, she took this personally and yelled at me for a while about it. I realized that I had no privacy and I ripped them all up; every single one. I had at least three notebooks full of writing and sketches and I tore up everything.

TRAUMA: The Diaries
I have been trying to cope broken-hearted for a long time. I tried every coping mechanism I was taught through psychology classes and by my therapists over the years. I tried to go through all five stages of grief, yet this heavy pain refuses to let me go. I was able to accept it, to understand it, and to move on without it. But after it all, the memories are still hunting me. They still remind me of what I have lost every time I try to sleep. I spent hours thinking it over; dissecting every one of them. Trying to find the reasons why. The moment when I started losing her. In the end, the answers to all my wonders remained unexplained and I needed to find a way to move on. To move on without closure.

All Alone in the World
The Orphan is an enigma. As the representative of a kind of numinous loneliness, the orphan is both special and outcast. There is a holiness to her exiled state and once redeemed, representative of the true embodiment of the Self. The Orphan archetype is of great significance to the work of C.G. Jung and archetypal psychology and its appearance marks an important moment on the road to the individuated Self which can be symbolised through the “numinous character of the child”.

These Video Games Can Actually Cure Your Anxiety, Here's How
There are certain things that society scapegoats to justify certain issues that are wrong with the world. Many decades ago rock music and heavy metal were blamed for making young people violent, then it was action movies that brainwashed teenagers.
