Check out this insightful post from a friend of mine.
When I was a kid we used to sing “the salad song.” It was a song made up of random phrases from several songs strung together. If you start a song and someone else wanted to sing the salad song, you could end up sing a different song altogether because once the salad song gets […]

Here is a poem by a friend of mine. The page can be found here: https://littleredsurvivor.com/2015/12/08/my-least-favorite-things/
People who punish as much as they’re able,
Gossip and whining and pride on the table,
Gifts and affection all tied up with strings,
These are a few of my least favorite things.
Family secrets and abject denial,
Threatening and judging and people on trial
Sneers and snide comments and yelling that stings
These are a few of my least favorite things.
Unwise expectations that I should not tell,
Those who have created their own private hell,
Ostracization and hatred that clings,
These are a few of my least favorite things.
When I’m missing family dinners–
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my least favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad.

A great post from Sascha Hjort.
Last night I had a dream that woke me up with a smile on my face. I was laying in my bed and woke up with a strange feeling. When I looked to my left side, I saw myself sitting there. I observed her for a while. She didn’t know that I was there, all […]

Another well put post from Beauty Beyond Bones.
I’m angry tonight. I am angry because I have been brutally reminded that I am not invincible. I received a comment (which has since been deleted) that taunted me to revisit and reexamine my disordered thoughts when I was deep in my anorexia. The commenter prodded me to describe exactly the allure of anorexia – […]

From anxiety to depression to body dismorphic disorder, Toby Allen intended by this artwork particularly to give these intangible mental illnesses some substance and make them appear more manageable as physical entities.
“The project originated from imagining my own anxieties as monsters and finding it to be a cathartic and healing process to draw them,” Allen

Have you ever been with someone that made you feel like the most wanted and unwanted at the same time? I’ve had a hard time understanding this contradiction. It is one of the most confusing experiences related to other people I’ve ever had, I think. The more I think about it and the deeper I […]

Another great post by BeautyBeyondBones.
I’m going to be really honest with y’all. Growing up, I thought my life was going to have played out a lot differently by now. I thought I was going to be married at 22, first kid at 23, and…I wanted ten…so…you do the math. I know. I know. I had high ambitions for my womb […]

This is heartbreaking and yet hopeful. We need to be talking about this to break the stigma. People are too valuable to not work hard for.
Potential Trigger Warning:
“You are a person who feels the highest of highs and the lowest of lows”
This short film is absolutely beautiful. It represents perfectly experience of living with Borderline Personality Disorder.
As a condition it is talked about so little and is heavily stigmatized. This film stresses the complete turmoil the condition puts a person into rather than focusing on how it looks from the outside. I particularly like the positives that are mentioned: How ‘Borderlines’ are often resilient despite having endless experiences of pain and hurt. To live with this condition you become a survivor.
“You are resilient and you try again. You’ve suffered so deeply, so much of the time. You push on; searching for love, hope and compassion.”

Recent research on the effects of divorce on children has indicated that children would rather live with their parents separated, than in a high conflict environment with their parents together. As much as we hear the statement “never stay together for the children,” it is often ignored, because of parental conflict and personal reasons between the parents. […]
