A solid support system is invaluable for one's recovery from psychiatric illness and mental health issues.

The Dance of Time
Everything begins with mornings... except for that night, which defied all routines. It felt as if the night itself refused to wait for dawn, unraveling mysteries and questions that couldn't rest. Morning arrived much earlier, with birds restlessly conversing in the dark. Their voices, like scattered notes, resonated with the storm in my mind—doubts and unresolved thoughts swirling relentlessly. Yet, as I listened, those tones became soothing, each like a piano note offering a fragment of clarity. Some notes were confused, others searching, striving to create harmony from life's chaotic entries.

From Solving Mysteries to Facing My Own
Hey everyone! You know that moment when you realize you’ve been talking about one thing for so long, but there’s this whole other side of you that’s just waiting to be explored? Yeah, that’s kind of where I’m at right now. For those of you who’ve been following my true crime stories, you probably know me as the person who loves to dig into the darkest corners of human nature (nothing says “relaxing evening” like researching cold cases, right?). But there’s another side of me I haven’t really talked about much — until now.

Still here. Content Warning.
I wrote when I first got sick nearly 5 years ago, “What if that one week that turned into seven months turns into me?” Honestly, I think I wrote it like a dare. Casting my worst fear out into the world detach it from me. To write it down, to share it, was perhaps to conquer it.

Car Number 121. Content Warning.
Imagine a nice, mild wintery day on a country road. There's some snow on the wide, open fields, but not too much. It's cool as opposed to cold, so a nice, warm jacket will do. There are no leaves on any trees; no shrubs or tall grass. And it's sunny because there are very few clouds in the sky.

Mastering the Art of Focus. AI-Generated.
In a world filled with constant distractions, the ability to focus has become an almost mythical skill—one that many people struggle to master. If you think about it, it’s rare to see someone who can concentrate on a single task for hours without interruption. Yet, those who do have that ability often find themselves achieving more in less time. Whether you're tackling a project at work, studying for exams, or simply enjoying a hobby, the power of focus allows you to move closer to your goals with greater efficiency and speed. But if you’re like most people, your attention often shifts from task to task, leaving you feeling mentally drained and far less productive. What’s really happening is that you’re engaging in scattered focus—dividing your attention across multiple things, none of which receive the depth of attention needed for optimal results.

Fragile Narcissists Are More Dangerous Than The Grandiose.
"A narcissist's criticism is their autobiography" - M. Wakefield. Grandiose or Vulnerable? You can easily identify a grandiose narcissist (GN) after a while, but a fragile/vulnerable narcissist (VN) goes the extra mile to disguise the false-self because their self-worth is so diminished that even the slightest risk of exposure sets them on a tailspin.

Navigating Love and Darknes: How to Support Your Partner Through Depression . Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Depression is often misunderstood, especially when it affects someone we care about deeply. Loving someone with depression can be a confusing, emotionally taxing experience, not only for the person experiencing it but for their partner as well. While it’s important to acknowledge that depression is a mental health condition, not a personal weakness, supporting a partner through it requires patience, empathy, and understanding.

The Role of Support Groups in Chronic Disease Management
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and chronic respiratory conditions often require long-term management and can impact every aspect of a person's life. While medical treatments and lifestyle changes are critical to managing these conditions, an often overlooked but highly impactful aspect of chronic disease management is the support patients receive from others. Support groups offer patients the opportunity to connect with others who are facing similar challenges, providing a sense of belonging, emotional support, and practical advice that can make a profound difference in their journey.

Truly Criminal Relaxtion. Content Warning.
For a moment I can’t tell if the connection is poor or if my therapist is concentrating on keeping a “neutral” face. Even I know that a neutral face in response to a personal interest you share with your therapist is not a good sign. My words are slowing down and I get quiet. “ I’m listening, go on” my therapist fishes for the rest of the concerning details. “You’re gonna tell me that I have to stop huh?” I wait on the other end of the video call bracing myself for impact. “I will say that this could be contributing to your night terrors and to rule it out… you should probably take a break.” Now logically I know she’s right but I can’t be the only one who loves to grab a snack, some wine, and deep dive into true crime. I know that I’m not.
