trauma

At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.

Birthday’s on the pirate ship. Content Warning.
I‘m a neurodivergent adult, a trauma survivor, a suicide survivor. Every birthday should be a celebration, right? I mean, how did I even make it this far, my teenage years undiagnosed, well more accurately misdiagnosed. My childhood and young adult years full of trauma. I regularly ask myself how I got this far. But every birthday, rather than being a celebration, a gathering of family and friends, a happy event, since the age of around 16, and maybe a few before that, they have been just not.

The Attachment Theory: How Childhood Affects Life
The attachment theory emphasizes the importance of forming a strong bond with a primary caregiver in our early years. This bond provides a sense of security that allows us to confidently explore the world around us. However, when the bond is weak, we feel insecure and hesitant to venture out. Securely attached individuals tend to have greater trust, stronger connections with others, and overall success in life. On the other hand, insecure attachment can lead to mistrust, difficulties in forming relationships, and a lack of social skills.

Signs That You are Depressed, Not Lazy. Content Warning.
Have you ever had days where all you wanted to do is lie in bed and do absolutely nothing else, you just wanted to be lazy and not worry about any of your responsibilities? We've all had our off days. We've all felt lazy, unmotivated, and uninspired from time to time, and it's normal to feel like that. But we live in such a hypercompetitive society that's so hyperfocused on pursuing success and wealth that it's made us feel internally guilty for the time we spend not working towards something productive.

Music and Love
In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the cacophony of life's chaos, two souls found solace in the universal language of music. Oliver, a gifted pianist with a melancholic soul, played his melodies in the park every evening, seeking an escape from the burden of his troubled past. Amelia, a vibrant violinist with a heart full of dreams, would listen to his music from afar, mesmerized by the emotions his fingers painted on the ivory keys.

Stop Projecting
I have been wanting to address this topic for the longest. Projection. It’s such a poisonous phenomenon in our society today. Projection can ruin a lot of friendships and relationships. I did not realize that most people were projecting onto me until I became a lot more socially aware.

Mental Health System Vs. Clairvoyance and Sexuality
There are many prejudices in this world. This affects the lives of everyday people constantly. I spent 15 years under the mental health services after being sectioned via a court at the age of 18. I was born with a form of Autism. I was only diagnosed at 16 with Asperger Syndrome after my father had to get the MP involved due to CAMHS assuming that I was probably on the spectrum without providing an official diagnosis. I had to obtain a diagnosis from a forensic team after the police kept getting involved for my behaviour issues relating to my undiagnosed Autism. I have just managed to get out of the mental health system after requesting to come off the section 117 aftercare. I wasn’t provided with any services for the past 7 years therefore the council agreed to end the section after 15 years. I want to go into how I may have got myself into the system by accident alongside the behaviours associated with my Autism. I was labelled a criminal due to a stupid attempt at trying to get revenge on someone who had rejected me when I was a teenager. I tried to get a tutor from college arrested for carrying a bomb when another student had told me that she was due to go on holiday that day. I emailed the airport saying that I had information that a passenger was carrying a bomb. Luckily, the court downgraded my charge to providing false information. I also got charged with Harassment a few times for how school had encouraged me to communicate as a child. I was told to write things down if I couldn’t talk to the teachers in circumstances where I was being bullied etc.

Attachment styles are psychological frameworks that describe how individuals form and maintain emotional bonds with others, particularly in close relationships.
