coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Anxiety... Autism... or both?. Content Warning.
I've been having a lot of meltdowns and shutdowns in this past year. It's been almost 9 months since I was diagnosed with autism. It was an expensive diagnosis that has honestly been more problematic than helpful (but hopefully that will change soon).

Shipping Stupidity before Thanksgiving
It was in November 2025 that I decided to order a punching bag stand off Amazon. I was already slowly setting up a small training space in the garage at home. Not exactly a fully set home gym or anything fancy. But it's good enough some decent legroom to beat some holiday stress out. And burn off the Thanksgiving feast in the process. At least that was the idea. When the package arrived, I set it down into the garage so I can assemble the punching bag stand when I got a whole day off work. I started by putting the bottom part of it together first. So I'd have a better idea on a spot to really beat the punching bag. And when I started on the central support for the stand the next day. I noticed that something was wrong. The foot parts that hold the frame in place came in 2 right foot parts. Instead of the actual left and right each. Or to be more precise, 2 pieces of the same side. I never saw it coming. Let alone expect a major setback like that.

Through the Walls
Through the Walls by Theodore Homuth The apartment had its own kind of silence—thin, brittle, and stretched too tight. It wasn’t peaceful. Peace required steadiness. This was the kind of silence that trembled, like it expected something to break at any moment. The only sounds were the low hum of the refrigerator and the occasional ping from Sarah’s phone, bright as a slap in the quiet.

We all need to cry
We all need to cry sometimes. Crying is part of life. Tears can be magic, falling softly, achingly, but it's a good ache, the one of letting go, of setting ourselves free. Give me one man that doesn't feel good when crying. What, because it isn't "manly", men are not supposed to cry?

How Long Can Postpartum Depression Last?
When a baby is born, it is natural to expect that the parents will be thrilled and happy beyond measure. Mothers, especially, are bound to be the happiest for bringing a new life to earth. However, this is a textbook reaction. In reality, many new mothers feel sad, scared, or stressed after childbirth.
