humanity

Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Diary of an Auto-Immune Survivalist. Top Story - August 2024.
Staring at the Midmark Ritter 204, the examination bed called to me. I craved its soft comfort and embrace. That pristine, crisp paper sheet of protective hygienic covering was what prevented me from making myself comfortable. I yearned to lie my body upon that tan leather table and relax my muscles and close my eyes, if only for a moment. The bed may as well have been encased in glass. The white parchment crumpled at the slightest touch, and lying upon it would crush and tear it to pieces. Disturbing it would be the evidence of the attention-seeking behavior that I was often accused of when seeing a new specialist. That paper stood between me and a few moments of desired rest.

Mindfulness For The Mentally Ill. Content Warning.
How much does mindfulness cost? While conducting research for this essay, this popular Google search suggestion summarised its validity and point precisely. Mindfulness is not something that should have a cost assigned to it. Although, as with everything today, it does - and a heavy one at that. To the mentally ill, mindfulness may just be another desperate avenue towards healing. As, if one is experiencing a chemical imbalance in the brain, the most effective solutions are prescribed medication and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). However, these options come with restrictions. Medication for mental health treatment is experimental. Sometimes it can have a detrimental effect - a risk far too great for somebody so close to giving up on their life. Also, the average expense for one private therapy session can be anywhere between £40 to £80. Therefore, natural mental practices such as mindfulness can appeal to those who are unable to access these remedies. Though, it has come to my attention that mindfulness is a luxury. It is not something that the ones who need mental healing most can easily apply to their lives. Nor, something that many can afford.

What Is The Scariest Thing?
Fear is a common emotion that everyone experiences. However, identifying the scariest thing can be subjective and challenging. Some may find thunder, shadows, or being burned alive frightening, while others may not. The concept of the scariest thing would be something that elicits fear and panic in anyone, regardless of their background or neurology. This ultimate fear would need to tap into the depths of the human mind where fears are born. To truly grasp this terror, it means delving into how fears are learned.

Things I’ve Learned While Loving Someone in Active Addiction.
I learned a lot from being in a long term relationship with someone who struggled with a drug addiction. He never wanted to be like His uncle but he ended up being exactly like him. He was clean until he wasn’t. He would call himself the worst type of addict because he was addicted to the rush of it all way more than the actual drugs. I learned a lot about addiction from him. I learned that he thought that when it was good he thought the world glimmered with hope and when it was bad there was no getting out of it. I used to think that that feeling alone would make anyone stop. That the good must feel worse than all of the people that he was hurting. For him it never did.

What does the best love look like in your mind?
Love is what everyone aspires to, but what does the best love look like? Everyone has different standards. Some people say the best love is when two people can rely on each other and become better together. Others say the best love is when you can see each other at a glance no matter where he or she goes. Others say the best love is, no matter what time you can see him/her beside me. In fact, for love, this is just a beautiful fantasy, while the real life is more of a quarrel, split up and together. Not everyone can meet the right person, more people end up with failure. That's why everyone has different expectations and ideas about love.

Autism and Social Cues
One of the hallmark traits of autism is difficulty with social activities and behaviors. This is commonly stated as “autistic people cannot read social cues” although the true diagnostic criteria for autism don't state this outright. This struggle with social cues and social norms is well-documented among autistic people.

Very sharp inspirational quotes
1. Striving isn’t for anyone else’s approval nor is it for show; it’s about empowering yourself to break free from the circles you detest and having the right to choose how you want to live your life.
