Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.
Remembering...
As I write this, it is 3:48am in the morning. I just woke up from a cold sweat, terror-filled, and very realistic nightmare. So for the record, this article might not make sense. *wink* I did edit it several times though and I think it works now... and as a bonus? I have 3 different articles started outside of this one... *smile*

Pick Up A New Hobby To Help Improve Your Mental Health
A fantastic technique to help with enhancing your general mental health and well-being is by taking up a new pastime. There are many benefits to having a hobby, but for many people, the health advantages rank first. Hobbies come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They could be artistic, academic, physical, or simply unwinding. Despite the fact that it's not always easy to find spare time during the day, maintaining good mental health can be made easier by the many various activities and hobbies we can incorporate into our everyday life. However, during these rare moments when you are free from your regular responsibilities, you may have the chance to engage in things that you actually like. A hobby is more than just something you do for yourself; it's something you put time and effort into because it makes you happy and sparks your interests.

J'SKAR
I He stared into the toddler’s eyes. It had stopped crying. It looked back at him, eyes wide with shock and wonderment. He scanned its body. It was a tiny, plump male wrapped with light leather blankets. Around its face tissue, a tint of red was concentrated in its nose and ears. It was feeling cold. J’skar felt his tail relax and slowly curl up. He couldn’t help but feel the little human was a part of nature, a part of the green grass, the wind and the trees. It was motherless, too. And he wouldn’t be surprised if it died from frostbite soon. J'skar approximated four hours.

Just Another Visit
It was late September when I was surprised by one of his spontaneous visits; I had been practicing hurdles and 200-meter sprints with my track coach after school with my teammates. Some of my friends were smiling and their eyes twinkled as they looked past my shoulders, curious I spun around.

Eve Ensler accepts the Peter C. Alderman Humanitarian Award
Photo by Women's eNews A world ravaged by war means millions around the world are left in a state of total devastation. It could be it broken bodies, destroyed livelihood or the breakdown of social structure. But unfortunately, well intentioned efforts to rebuild rarely take into account the emotional wreckage that violence leaves in its wake. Without mental health and alleviation of the effects of PTSD, there can be no post conflict recovery, according to Dr. Stephen Alderman of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation.

At Some Point, You Have To Own Your Shit
One common thing in life we share as human beings is the ability to be hurt. I don’t mean falling down and scraping our knees. I’m talking about being really, really hurt. Stuff that affects us negatively as adults.

Am I In A Different Universe Right Now?
I feel like I'm in a different universe as soon as my Mother in-law asks, "Emily when was the last time your family checked on you?" Later that day, my aunt called me and I got back into contact with my mother. I'm not sure of how I feel.

Children's Mental Disorder
Unhealthy relationship in a family as cause of children’s mental disorder, yes or no? Our definitions of family vary from person to person, though if you ask, most will say family is about trust, acknowledgement, learning, solidarity, and love, at the very least. Yet, it would also not be surprising that some of those same individuals could describe periods of childhood in which the family relationships were not healthy. This might be parent to parent relationship, parent to child, or anyone that is close enough in daily life to have familial status. Yes, they could say there were less than ideal relationship dynamics, though adults often do not see their family life as having been ’out of the norm’, usually because they survived it, even when problems of neglect or abuse existed.

Survivor of Many Things
The struggles are real, as I feel it everyday. Today, is the first time I ever got to do something on my own in a long time. My husband tries me as though I am a broken wing that always needs to be looked after. As if I am going to break at any moment.
