Dear Phoenix Series - Letter #1
Dear Abuser, You took a lot from me. You took my freedom, my sanity, and more importantly, you took away who I was. Even to this day, you still taunt me in my thoughts. However, I have accomplished more than I could ever imagine. Linkin Park came out with a new song called the The Emptiness Machine. It just came out recently, and honestly it applies to the situation you put me through.

Sadness.. AI-Generated.
Sadness is a universal emotion, deeply intertwined with the human experience. It is both a natural response to life's challenges and an essential part of our emotional spectrum. While often viewed as negative or undesirable, sadness plays a crucial role in helping us process loss, disappointment, and hardship, guiding us through introspection, self-awareness, and, ultimately, personal growth.

Everything For Me Is All-Or-Nothing
As far back as I can remember everything has been all-or-nothing. I liked to skateboard, so my life revolved around it. I wore the clothes, watched the videos, listened to the music, and skateboarded twenty-four-seven. It was my first real obsession.

I Was Tested for ADHD: Here's What to Expect
So recently I went in to get tested for ADHD, a diagnosis that I had suspected to be true for most of my adult life. From the struggles to focus on simple tasks, general forgetfulness, fidgeting and behavioral patterns that one could describe as "excitable", it all seemed to point to the signpost of ADHD.

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.

Proper Injection Techniques and Angles: A Pharmacist's Essential Guide
Pharmacists, especially those working in community pharmacies or clinics, often go beyond the traditional role of dispensing medications. Administering injections to patients is a critical part of their responsibilities. However, giving injections requires more than just skill—it demands precise knowledge of the proper techniques, angles, and procedures to ensure safety and effectiveness. Administering an injection at the wrong angle can lead to complications such as tissue damage, infections, and even improper absorption of the medication. Therefore, understanding the correct techniques is vital for both patient safety and the pharmacist's professional competence.
