Introduction
I’m not quite sure how this site works but I started this blog to share my story in an attempt to connect with other people who have been in my shoes/are in my shoes.
The following topics will be discussed, as well as conceptualized through photos, art, case studies...etc.
If you are sentive to any of the items listed below I would either not continue or proceed with caution:
1) Abuse (physical,verbal,emotional)
2) Borderline Personatily Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Depression with psychotic features, Anxiety, Insomia, Addiction
3) Death of family members
4) Suicide
5) Mental Hospitals
6) Insomia/Night Terrors/Sleep Paralysis
7) Nyctophobia (fear of the dark) and Scopophobia (fear of being stared at)
8) Addiction in family members
9) Visitation/Custody disagreements
10) Drug use
11) Self harm
12) Dissociation/Derealization
These are probably going to be the most prevalent topics on this blog, but other sensitive topics that were not listed may be touched upon. I will give a trigger warning at the start of every post if I choose to write about any sensitive topic.
I am not qualified to give advice. I advise anyone reading this that is seeking guidance to speak to a mental health professional. Please do NOT use this blog as a reference, I am not here to lead by example.
I have never been able to share my story or to talk to anyone due to past circumstances.
Thankfully, I am now able to openly speak about my experiences, but due to this delay, my mental health has been severely damaged.
I am currently in therapy and I have separated myself from all of the harmful individuals who were in my past.
I still continue to suffer with the maladaptive behaviors and thought processes that I have learned from my childhood that I am trying to break.
Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction.
