The Bankrupt Mind
The mind is timeless and eternal, so how can we have a bankrupt mind? As I see it, the ego in mind, with its perception of chronological time, is the problem. The thinking process that we use with its verbalization ties us to the world of the past, present and future. It makes us time travellers who believe that thinking will solve all our problems and fear that we might disappear from the mind if we stop thinking. Thus the thinking process in most individuals becomes a self-sustaining process where one thought ends and another begins. It becomes like a squirrel in a cage where one goes round and round in circles. It becomes a habit where one feels that one cannot stop thinking.

The Medusa Phenomenon
In Greek mythology, Medusa was a monster with a human female face. From her scalp grew living venomous snakes instead of hair. She looked so hideous that gazing directly upon her would turn anyone into stone. In my mind, I regard this fear of turning into stone, very much like the fear of transforming oneself into a new person when confronted with reality, as the Medusa Phenomenon.

This is How It Feels Living With Bipolar II Disorder
I was 28 years old when I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder. Having been experiencing poor attention and motivation skills, I determined that I obviously had a case of undiagnosed ADHD. Therefore, I scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist in the hopes of being prescribed a stimulant.

Surviving Evil
This is my story on abuse I am writing this story because I want abuse to end. I am victim of abuse myself my green light was that I was able to get out and my abuser didn't stop me and I also got the help that I needed from a women's abuse center. I honestly can say it's really not a place that women should be in and if you can get out of that situation get out as soon as possible, I know some women can't leave their abuser because they love them or they are too scared or they have a child or children with the abuser. Women are never heard some people think it's the woman's fault on why she's getting abused, but it's not the abuser takes advantage and manipulates his way for people to think it was her fault why she got abused and usually the abuser isolates, manipulates, tries to control everything, takes advantage of everything the woman does. Abuse is so sickening and it's very wrong but women get abused every day. Most abusers act insecure to cover up the truth, in fact they are always bullies. The one thing they all have in common is that their motive is to have power of their victim this is because they don't feel that they have personal power, regardless of their success. To them communication is a win-lose game. Abuse happens within heterosexual relationships and in the same-sex partnerships, it occurs within all age ranges, ethnic backgrounds, and economic levels. And while women are more victimized, men also experience abuse especially verbal and emotional. The bottom line is that abusive behaviour is never acceptable, whether from a man, woman, teenager, or an older adult. There are many signs of abusive relationship, and a fear your partner is the most telling. If you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around them - constantly watching what you say and do in order to avoid a blow up - chances are your relationship is unhealthy and abusive. Other signs include a partner who belittles you, tries to control you, and feelings of self-loathing, helplessness, and desperation. Physical abuse occurs when physical force is used against you in a way that injures or endangers you. Abusive behavior is a choice despite what people believe, domestic violence and abuse does not take place because of an abuser loses control over their behavior. In fact, abusive behavior and violence is a deliberate choice to gain control. Perpetrators use a variety of tactics to manipulate you and exert their power, including: Dominance, Humiliation, Isolation, Threats, Intimidation, Denial and Blame. Abusers use a cycle in violence and domestic abuse which includes: Abuse, Guilt, "Normal" Behavior, Fantasy and Planning, Set-Ups. Recognizing the warning signs of abuse; It's impossible to know with certainly what goes on behind close doors, but there are some telltale signs of emotional abuse and domestic violence. If you witness these warning signs of abuse in a friend, family member or co-worker take them very seriously. People who are being abused may: 1. Seem afraid or anxious to please their partner, 2. Go along with what he or she says, 3. Check in often with their partner to report where they are and what they are doing, 4. Receive frequent, harassing phone calls from their partner, 5. Talk about their partner's temper, jealously, or possessiveness. Warning signs of physical abuse: have frequent injuries, with the excuse of "accidents", frequently missed work, school or social/special occasions without explanation, dress in clothing designed to hide bruises or scars, abuse can hurt in so many ways.

The Sound of a Dream
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Of course “they” say lots of things. They always have and they always will. It’s not that they don’t have good intentions, but how could they possibly know everything? Even if everyone was truly in touch with each other and all the answers were presented wrapped in a bow, the party would still be a bust. And “nobody” is a big word when referencing something as vast as space. Even though we have sent probes deep into its expanse, although we’ve stared through telescopes into the stars and recorded astonishing sights, and though we build massive satellites to receive messages - we just don’t hear. If they tried, without fear of failure and threw all their might and will at the puzzle, they couldn’t hope to understand it. This puzzle was complex, big, ever changing, never ending, and it was beyond our reach. Some things are and we just can’t get all the way there on our own. It’s too far and too overwhelming. For most, it’s just too hard to try.

Dark Feelings
Numb to the pain you look to the bright side, engulfed with jealousy when darkness laughs and you can't hide. People try to help while they are part of the cause, but the mind takes over as you forget to pause. Mental Illness is not fun and games, triggers can't be controlled but may be contained. Turn it off so no one can hear, the yelling from loved ones, that's in your ears. Emotions cause problems so throw them away, Let logic and pleasure be your guiding way. Noises of joy and love at your expense don't make you sick but damage your pathway. You think you want what others have, but maybe it's something you believe you will never have.
