Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Omission Bias – Why Hiding the Truth Seems Better Than Lying?
Who among the 2 does one think maybe a bigger culprit? Scenario 1: A nurse has the responsibility of taking care of the patient by giving him an injection every day. Without the dose of the needle, the patient will die. One day, the nurse doesn't administer the drugs intentionally and therefore the patient dies.

The Demise
Nearly a year ago my life began to unravel. My husband of 10 years had been an angry person for a long time. He felt like he was losing control of his health, his career, his home, and his family. Like a wounded animal he lashed out at those closest to him. He became mean and violent. When I had enough of our children seeing him that way and felt like it was no longer a safe environment I made arrangements for him to live with his dad.

Being alone is a good thing. Here's why.
Why am I with someone and still feel all by myself? This a question you've probably asked yourself, just like me. I wonder all the time if I really like this person why do I find myself overthinking and wishing it ended up differently. I wish this person knew how they made me feel. Why won't they open up to me? I feel so terribly alone. Whining.... I channel my higher self when this happens. I think about this situation in the grand scheme of my life and realise this is a cycle. I notice the cycle of karma through relationships manifesting before my eyes. You know how they say the universe will send you the same lesson over and over until you learn and never look back? Well yeah this was happening. Let's begin the story. I met a young girl in my college dorm. I was immediately attracted to her energy when she walked into the room. Her eyes lit up and her smile as powerful as the sun. I wanted to connect with her as soon as possible. She came to my dorm with m roommates friends. She brought friends with her so I knew she wouldn't be alone, but I like to get to know people when they're alone because the real them comes out. We all went back to her dorm room and talked for a little it got quiet and there was no flow. I decided to transition the conversation into her room and talk a little more about each other. We talked and connected a little. She seemed really happy around me and we ended up talking all night. We cuddled in her bed and I spent the night, Maybe I moved a little too fast, but I felt as if the vibes were right. She clearly felt the same. We talked about it the next day and decided what happened was a little odd and we continued to hangout after that and became really close. I later find out she has a boyfriend in her hometown that she never broke off. He really loves her and I honestly did not respect that. I felt like my feelings were more important than logic in this situation. We kept hanging out. The sleepovers continued and we both began to get attached. I could tell this was moving fast and I began to give her space but the damage has already been done and we are always around each other. If she is not at work or if I'm not at school or working on my art we're around each other. She's either at my dorm or I'm at her's. I tried to open up to her and get a little deeper into her mind, but she would immediately change the subject or avoid opening up to me. I figured time would heal all wounds and she would open up due time. I was wrong. She became a partier and decided to go to clubs, get drunk every night and disconnect from her responsibilities. I was distraught. The girl I created in my head was far from the girl I knew. I knew I made a mistake and this girl has manifested into my reality to teach me a lesson about protecting my energy and focusing on what I came to this school to do. I understand the potential damage one can have on my life if I'm not careful.

The Wonderful World of Me
Hey, y'all, it seems this part of my mental health journey is over and while it was a crazy ride with ups and downs I know the journey is just getting started and I have many more facets to explore when it comes to me and my mental state. Summing everything up, we learned that my childhood has a lot to do with how I behave like an adult and that I have not only ADHD but also anxiety which lead me to want to learn more about mental health and get my degree. For this last part, I want to talk about where I am with all of this and where I want to go from here because I have a lot more to learn about myself and I know that I can’t stop now that I have started. My exploration into a world that I knew nothing about was one of my greatest decisions, and I can honestly say that I am glad that made that decision although sometimes I feel like it made the choice for me. As for now, I just want to sit with what I have learned about myself and use that as a way to make me a better person and really dive deep and work on what I need to, to feel half like a normal person.

Suicide A Message of Hope.
There is an ability to know when one is struggling. There is a comprehension made or sensed something appears to be off with the individual who feels they have no choice but to end their life. This is an epidemic that has permeated the consciousness of those who have the ability to see there is a solution at hand. The solution required to end suicide is for all to have the capacity for empathy.

Stalled
Have you ever felt stalled? Completely without momentum or motivation? All potential. No Energy. I have been stalled for almost 30 years. That isn't to say I haven't made any progress whatsoever, but from beginning to end my life story is filled with years without change.

Remembering Sept 11th 2001
September 11th 2001- I was barely out of college. I had graduated in May 2000. I was living with my then boyfriend, a USAF A-10 Crew Chief in a small apartment in Arizona. We were both asleep when the first tower fell. Then, came the calls. First, it was my mother who worked in Family Advocacy doing domestic violence counseling, telling us she could not get on base. Then, it was the boyfriend being put on standby..which lead to rush packing and getting the few things that weren't in his go bag- like the tight number of socks. Then the worst, my goddaughter, Samantha. I had expected to hear from her father, Tony, a K-9 handler with the Security Police in the USAF. Instead I got a call from a 5 year old hiding under the bed.

Is Anything Real, Or Is This Just Fantasy?
What is it that you know, for sure? You know that you have a brain and a heart and other organs, that you drink water to survive and so on. In other words, you know about an “external world” of sorts that is outside yourself. But would you say for sure that you know all this about the external world.

A shift in my view of praise
What I want to write about today is the evolution of my ideas about praise. Because my parents seldom praise me, I started to be eager about the praise when I was young. Then my mind changed as I grew up. My parents also changed their educational style later after communicating with them. I would like to write these down, so that more people witness my growth.
