Madison BennettPublished 7 months ago in PsycheQuitting is hard.
So I have been one to quit many things in my life. Alcohol and various hard drugs, and don't get me wrong... It was not an easy road. In fact, it took me a number of years to get to a point where I was able to walk away from those substances for any consistent period of time.

I Need Therapy
Last night, I watched a movie and it gave me an existential crisis. The movie in question was "The Giant Mechanical Man" curtesy of Tubi. For context, Janice (Jenna Fischer) who doesn't have her life together crosses paths with Tim (Chris Messina) who performs on the street as the giant mechanical man and finds purpose in his street performance because he wants people who don't have their lives together to feel less alone.
Olivia BarkerPublished 7 months ago in Psyche Life Lessons From A Loner
When the word "loner" is used, it is often associated with a shy, introverted, and quiet personality. These are often associated with negative connotations. As someone who has been labeled a loner more than once, I wanted to discuss how I have come to accept this label. As someone who does not have many friends, I have also learned that one can find solace in spending time with oneself.

Tressa RosePublished 7 months ago in PsycheConnecting With My Inner Child
At first, I found the concept of an inner child a bit silly. I did not dismiss the idea that we all have aspects of our child selves within us or that childhood does not permanently and profoundly affect someone. But, for the most part, I had a fairly good childhood. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't horrendous. What I believe is a pretty average childhood.

Timothy A RowlandPublished 7 months ago in PsycheUNDERSTAND OR CONDEMN
The old story of "give mercy, not execute", was an example of our generation's learning of Estonian grammar, how the choice of the place of the comma can completely change the meaning of the sentence, but since the landlord did not have a good relationship with commas, the comma was placed in the second place instead. "Not to pardon, but to execute" and only because of the comma, the one who actually wanted to be pardoned lost his life.
Elle VihmanPublished 7 months ago in PsycheChange with Hope, Not Despair
Growing up, I was well-acquainted with Mr. Wilson from down the street. Eccentric? Sure. But Mr. Wilson was a study in contrasts. For a decade, he lived in a dimly lit house, all because he was afraid of changing a ten-year-old lightbulb. "It’s a collector's item!" he'd declare. Then one day, armed with courage (and a nudge from a visiting niece), he replaced it. The result? A luminescent epiphany that transformed his view on change. "Why didn't I do this sooner?" he exclaimed, squinting in the newfound brightness, probably also realizing that his wallpaper was horribly outdated.
