recovery
Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
My Hallucinations...
So I was recently asked this question and the short answer is: yes. But the truth is much longer than that, so I am writing it down. *smile* Please note, these are only my personal experiences with seeing other "people" who aren't really there - not everyone's.

Life after an eating disorder
It’s always been about control. The complexities of triggers, motives, and behaviors are not set aside or ignored when it is said that an eating disorder is about control. You want control over how you are perceived, treated, regarded, spoken of. We know the overwhelming end results of fitting the ideal forced down our throats and inflected on our bodies. We know the devastation we are met with when we accept ourselves at our current or our best — we can be the healthiest we can physically manage and it is treated as lessor or a moral failing. Our bodies are not our own and that is the tragic lie we are indoctrinated and poisoned with.

Sex, Love & Internet Addiction Counseling
This innately useless dance happens when one accomplice is Mutually dependent over here at the best addiction treatment center in Karachi and the other an Egotist or Fiend. Mutually dependent people usually need to learn how to genuinely detach or stay away from huge associations with people who are narrow minded, controlling, and destructive to them.

Sometimes I feel like a fish...
When I had my 20 gallon aquarium in my home years ago, I would sit and watch the fish swim back and forth for hours at a time. I loved the sound of the moving water through the filter, watching them gracefully glide through the water, and even the distinct smell of fishiness was relaxing to me. One day that all changed though as I contemplated my life. I mean, I still love watching the fish swim back and forth, but I can't help make comparisons to how I feel some days...

The Psychiatric Ward and Vocal
This piece marks a milestone: 100 articles. 100 different snapshots of my mind. From horror short stories to silly items about dogs to explorations of why I believe The Beatles are the greatest musicians who have ever existed to poems I would never have dreamed of writing.

The Last Memory
So there I stood, rubbernecking at the idea that the spinning washing machine resembled my embryonic headache. With that reflection in mind, I went for a cold shower, aiming for easy treatment. The antidote lasted as long as the freezing water distracted me from the woodpecker drilling my brains. Not a second more.

Letter to the Editor
Hi, most people know me better as my online alias and pen name: The Schizophrenic Mom. I had no intention of writing this to my hometown paper as I appreciate my anonymity online – and the freedom I have to talk about my disability without fear of retribution. However, part of my goal is to educate people and I see a big education gap in the rural midwest.

Remembering...
As I write this, it is 3:48am in the morning. I just woke up from a cold sweat, terror-filled, and very realistic nightmare. So for the record, this article might not make sense. *wink* I did edit it several times though and I think it works now... and as a bonus? I have 3 different articles started outside of this one... *smile*
