support

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

Raw materials.
I suddenly realised that I don’t have to feel great in order to write. Nor do I have to be inspired and connected to the higher power. It is ideal of course to create from that place. But this world is far from perfect, and so am I. If anything, I doubt that a truly creative person can feel great at all times; their sensitivity is a double edged sword after all. And for the most part, we don’t live in the society that accommodates those with a deeply feeling nature.

Writer's Block. Content Warning.
I have been struggling with writer's block for a few months now, but the last 2 months have been worse than normal. I know that I have been having a lot of emotions, and that I try to avoid the intense emotions, but today in therapy, my therapist asked me if I wanted the things that have happened to be my fault.

1980s was definitely the ultimate decade for horror films!
The 80s is often regarded as the ultimate era for horror movies, and there are several reasons why. Firstly, the practical effects used in those films added a sense of realism and authenticity that still captivates audiences today. From gruesome gore to terrifying creatures, these practical effects brought the horror to life in a way that CGI simply can't replicate. Secondly, the 80s gave birth to iconic horror franchises that have become ingrained in pop culture. Movies like "Friday the 13th," "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and "Halloween" introduced us to unforgettable villains and thrilling storylines that continue to inspire and influence filmmakers today.

Bent Progress
If you've ever dealt with any form of trauma, there is one mantra that therapists looove: "Healing isn't linear" Ugh. If you've been to therapy, you probably resent the saying as much as I do (even if you know it's true).

The Tremendous Benefits of Writing It Out. Content Warning.
Over the course of last few hours, I’ve just been writing nonstop. If you take a look at my latest posts, you’ll likely gather really quickly that I haven’t been feeling the greatest lately. I’ve decided to make this third story a little more candid than the poem I posted earlier this evening, which was… descriptive, yet vague.

Unveiling the Mysteries
The clandestine corridors of secret societies and clandestine fraternities hold tightly guarded knowledge that has been passed down through the ages, shrouded in mystery and secrecy. This ancient wisdom, dating back to the dawn of civilization, was once widely known but has since retreated into the shadows, accessible only to the select few initiated into these esoteric orders.

“The Eagle Story” I tell this story when working with people who have trauma, grief, and loss work to do. The many people who are giving up drugs, alcohol, sugar, overworking, gambling, etc. Those traumas have been self-medicated by using one of the above and others.
