I’ve got the Verve song stuck in my head. But it’s truth is too much for me today. I’m holding on to my sanity with my fingernails and my arms are getting tired. I feel like I’m being pulled in 10 different directions. All the things I need to do and deal with sapping my

I’m having a difficult time trying to deal with too many things at once. Like everyone else I have a limit to how many different issues I can cope with at once, although my limit seems to be much lower than the “average” persons. When I get overwhelmed like this I don’t even know where

We as a society (in the west at least) seem to have developed this idea that Mistakes are BAD. I don’t really understand why. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of being human. Mistakes themselves are Neutral. It’s how they came about/how you deal with them that’s important. I personally feel that being honest, owning your

Has started biting again. I am tired of the world today. I feel like a soldier that’s trapped in a never ending war. I can’t keep up with the demands life puts on me. And the people that are meant to come to my rescue are more interested in pushing paper around then actually saving

How can you expect your children to make good decisions

After having been under more mental health units than I can count, I have learned that some of them are nothing but pretty rhetoric wrapped up in laziness. I have had so many promises of help, support, the “right” kind of therapy and it ends as nothing more than pretty words. And then these people

I struggle a lot with my weight. I have done since I was very young, having been bullied from an early age for being fat. It’s weird now to look back and realise that I was just a bit chubby with baby fat, not the kind of obesity that I believed that I had. My

In my random hyperfixation studies I come across the term “evolutionary trait” quite a lot. From Psychology to Neurology to basic biology, the all discuss things that once had a purpose. That allowed us to evolve to the point we are at. However, quite a number of these traits are now useless in a modern

Have you ever noticed that genuinely good people are always full of doubt? They constantly question whether or not something is right. Those who declare themselves good and righteous are never unsure of themselves, their actions or their motives. This always makes me suspect. How can you know? That’s not to say good people are
