My Thoughts Were Holding Me Captive—Until a Prayer Set Me Free. AI-Generated.
I didn’t even notice when the noise inside my head got louder than the world outside. It began subtly. I would lie awake in bed, rehearsing conversations that never happened. I’d think about things I said ten years ago, wondering if people still remembered them. I’d feel ashamed of my mistakes, terrified of my future, and unsure about who I was becoming.

Am I an Empath or the Opposite? A Brain Dissection in Real Time. Content Warning.
Intellect is something that I indeed lack. And so I feel utterly ashamed. It's like a destructive nature that binds me tightly with my idiocy. It is shameful and I find it exhausting. Not like in a subtle way but from deep within. From the very depths of my core . It is shameful, uncouth, and it, without any doubt completely showcases my involuntary degeneration. I sometimes feel desperate, in need of attention, of attachment, of touch, of guilt, of binding, of love, of torture, of whatever I feel like right now.

What Attachment Theory Taught Me About My Love Life
For the longest time, I thought love was just about chemistry, timing, and a bit of luck. I didn’t realize that what felt like love was often just a repetition of what I had unconsciously learned as a child.

I’m the One Who Never Falls Apart—Until I Did
By Nadeem Shah I’ve always been “the strong one.” You know the type—the person who listens at 2 a.m. when someone needs to vent, who holds space for tears that aren’t their own, who never seems to crack no matter how heavy the storm gets. That was me.

Reiki Training
Two hours are not enough time to teach three levels of Reiki. An overview? Yes. We had 17 participants. I attuned 10 participants for level one and 7 for level two. One Reiki Master had co-workers attending the class, and she gave 7 level one attunements, and was going to give most of them level two and three attunements on the job.

The Silence Around Hypersexuality: What Survivors of Sexual Abuse Aren’t Saying — and Why It Matters. Content Warning.
When Survival Looks Like Shame Hypersexuality isn’t often included in conversations about trauma recovery. It’s the messy, uncomfortable truth that doesn’t fit the popular image of the “damaged but quiet” survivor. But the reality is that many people who’ve experienced sexual abuse develop an intense, compulsive relationship with sex — not because they enjoy it, but because their body and brain are trying to reclaim control.

Xanax Detox: More Than Just Irritability . Top Story - July 2025.
I was prescribed Xanax for severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It helped me function at first. But early on—and I mean right away—my doctor prescribed me 8 mg of extended release Xanax per day. That’s not a dosage I slowly worked up to. That was the starting point.
