Breaking the Chains of Narcissism
In the quiet town of Serenity Hills lived a young girl named Lily. Her family, on the surface, seemed picture-perfect, but behind closed doors, their home was a breeding ground for narcissism. Lily's parents, particularly her mother, reveled in their own reflections, leaving little room for the needs and emotions of their daughter.

The Role of Personality in Depression: Is There a Depressive Type?
Depression, a complex mental health disorder, does not solely arise from a clearly defined, isolated cause. A plethora of factors, both genetic and environmental, influence its onset, progression and severity. Among these factors, personality — the enduring patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that distinguish one person from another — has emerged as a significant area of study. Researchers have long debated whether there exists a ‘depressive type,’ or a specific personality profile predisposing an individual to depression.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

Unleashing the power of now
In the maze of my thoughts, overthinking used to be my worst adversary, stealing my calm and warping my clarity at every moment. The Thought Tornado would not stop whirling while I slept, entangling me in a noway - ending web of solicitude and pondering.

Mental health basics.
I dreamt of a war a month or so ago. Not any particular war, more so the archetype itself, so this won’t be a political post feeding further the extreme division and polarisation we are witnessing once again in the society. Due to me being a mental health advocate, I feel I need to say something on the subject purely from a trauma informed perspective.

A Flock of Questions. Top Story - December 2023.
It always occurred when least expected. As the moon stalked me home on late car rides. When I sat under my favorite tree contemplating the cracks in the ground caused by the months of drought. While I bent down to tie my shoe.

The myth of narcissism
In the tapestry of ancient mythology, long preceding the era of ubiquitous selfies, the Greeks and Romans spun a captivating myth about an individual consumed by an excessive fascination with his own image. At the heart of this tale lies Narcissus, a strikingly handsome wanderer traversing the world in quest of love. His narrative takes a dramatic turn when he, after rejecting the advances of a nymph named Echo, chances upon his own reflection in a river. Captivated by the image that met his gaze, Narcissus falls deeply in love with his own reflection. An irresistible allure binds him to this self-admiration, eventually leading to his tragic demise. Legend has it that the spot where Narcissus met his end was marked by the emergence of a flower known as the Narcissus.
