How to Relight the Fire in Your Eyes That Died So Long Ago. Content Warning.
I lived most of my life suffering I do not know how to live with out it. The light went out in my eyes a long time ago. My family and friends asks me how I’m doing and they let me lie. I really don’t want to talk about it. I can pretend to be “normal”. being out kind of makes me feel like i’m drowning. Maybe I should have opened up before it all got too much. I have been here before I should have remembered the outcomes. When things were really bad, when I was younger I would never want to be alone. I was scared of what could happen if I was by myself. Now I like the quiet. When I’m not in the right head space I will cut people out of my life. I started to like it. I didn’t have to pretend anymore. The people I love know when I’m not feeling the best now because of it. I’m not sure which is better.

PNES/PNEA/Functional Seizures
I had my brother record the video up top because I felt it coming on and wanted to show my neurologist. I uploaded it to YouTube as a way to spread awareness of PNEA, as even healthcare professionals don't know a lot about them. My sister is the one who was helping me, at only nine years old. I'm lucky to have a helpful family, not everyone has that.

The Role of Personality in Depression: Is There a Depressive Type?
Depression, a complex mental health disorder, does not solely arise from a clearly defined, isolated cause. A plethora of factors, both genetic and environmental, influence its onset, progression and severity. Among these factors, personality — the enduring patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that distinguish one person from another — has emerged as a significant area of study. Researchers have long debated whether there exists a ‘depressive type,’ or a specific personality profile predisposing an individual to depression.

Navigating the Depths of Major Depressive Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder: Unraveling the Layers of Despair The human response to stress, loss, and adversity is a complex tapestry, varying from person to person. Many of us have encountered moments of low mood and spirit during challenging times, losing sleep, appetite, and the desire for social interactions. This transient change in behavior is a normal reaction to stress, typically dissipating in a matter of days. However, when symptoms persist for more than two weeks, impacting social, domestic, and occupational functioning, it may signal a shift from a normal reaction to a pathological one, possibly indicating clinical depression.
