Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.

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.

Mastering Mind Control
Research into human behavior reveals that first impressions are made incredibly quickly—often within a tenth of a second. These initial judgments are based predominantly on non-verbal cues, such as body language and facial expressions, rather than the spoken word. While it is commonly believed that our verbal communication is crucial, psychologists estimate that only about 7% of communication is conveyed through actual words. The remaining 93% is expressed through non-verbal signals, including gestures, posture, eye contact, and vocal tone. These non-verbal cues provide a more nuanced understanding of an individual’s emotional state, personality, and intentions. This process is closely related to the concept of dark psychology, which involves understanding and manipulating psychological principles to influence and control others. The rapid, subconscious evaluation of these cues can significantly impact our interactions and judgments about others, sometimes exploiting their vulnerabilities through dark psychological tactics.

On Sunday I Teetered on The Deep End Drop-Off
When I commit, I commit hard. Like cement. I am THERE. My husband's wedding band has one of my favorite songs : 'All The Way'. I fell in love with the movie 'Joker's Wild' and Sinatra crooning it way before I knew who he was, way before I knew the dark side of the story.

Alzheimer’s Disease: Stages, Symptoms, Causes, Treatment

Consequently, the brain experiences shrinkage, and its cells gradually deteriorate. This disease stands as the primary cause of dementia—a gradual decline in memory, cognition, behavior, and social abilities—which significantly impairs daily functioning.

Re-Introducing Myself
I am a mother of two happy, healthy, and adorable children who happens to also have schizophrenia. I enjoy writing and enjoy to write about motherhood, mental health, religious views, and other random “adulting” subjects here on this blog as well as publishing books on the subject (Whispers of Strength, Whispers of Prayer) and publishing science fiction books: (Time In Space, Return to Space). I hope and pray that I can make a difference in the views of others who seem to agree with all of the articles in a Google search engine that talk about how horrible it is to know or be a schizophrenic – let alone have one be a mother.
