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.

The Mirror of Psyche
In a forgotten town, inside an ancient mansion, Sophie sat before an old, dust-covered mirror. She couldn't shake the feeling that something about the mirror was watching her, studying her every move. She wasn’t alone, though. David had come with her, though he seemed distant, preoccupied by the strange atmosphere of the mansion.

Book Review: The Power of Now
Eckhart Tolle’s *The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment* has been a transformative work for millions since its publication in 1997. With over 12 million copies sold and translations into 52 languages, it stands as a cornerstone in the self-help and spirituality genres. Tolle, a modern spiritual teacher, emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment, arguing that much of human suffering stems from our tendency to dwell on the past or worry about the future.

Midnight
My eyes snapped open. It was the early hours of the morning, I guessed, looking at the darkness outside. It was these hours of the night that I fear the most. I could feel my heart beating in my chest; the fear and the anxiety slowly creeping in. Tendrils of dread and down begin insinuating into my fragile mind. A shiver ran up my spine, the cold nipping at my uncovered torso.

Doing the Inner Work. Content Warning.
I stared down at my fingernails, trying to resist the urge to pick at the nail polish before staring back at the woman across from me. "I want to die."

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
There’s too many people in the hallway. Everyone is too loud. Shouting for no reason. It’s too much. I keep my head down, and shuffle and weave in between everyone.

A teaspoon of sand. Runner-up in Small Kindness Challenge.
I was seventeen - on the cusp of eighteen. In a novelist’s imagination, a young lady on the verge of what comes next. Not that I thought of myself in literary terms. My life was not a bildungsroman. I wasn’t in transition from one thing to another. I was, as an American TV psychologist might say, living in the moment. An outwardly confident girl whose sang-froid masked the existential insecurities of youth.
