I Don’t Want To Be Crazy Anymore
Crazy. It’s an ugly word. No doubt, many will chastise me for using it. Let them come. I’m not describing someone else. I’m not describing mental illness. Crazy is how I feel, and no other word comes close.

Empathy // Rediscovered
» KEY POINTS One day, something broke... or rather repaired... inside of me. Suddenly feeling empathy for the first time helped me realize that I had been missing so much. There is a massive gap between the compassion I did feel and thought was enough and actual empathy for other human beings.

Children's Mental Disorder
Unhealthy relationship in a family as cause of children’s mental disorder, yes or no? Our definitions of family vary from person to person, though if you ask, most will say family is about trust, acknowledgement, learning, solidarity, and love, at the very least. Yet, it would also not be surprising that some of those same individuals could describe periods of childhood in which the family relationships were not healthy. This might be parent to parent relationship, parent to child, or anyone that is close enough in daily life to have familial status. Yes, they could say there were less than ideal relationship dynamics, though adults often do not see their family life as having been ’out of the norm’, usually because they survived it, even when problems of neglect or abuse existed.

What To Expect When You Marry a Narcissist
If you’re planning to date a narcissist, these are the things you can expect in your relationship. Notice that because they are incapable of having a healthy and intimate relationship, this may be your only chance to get close to someone unable To empathize with others. Your marriage will be the most important relationship in your life; be wise in who you select to commit to. If you marry a narcissist you will be uniting with a person who does not have empathy. Empathy is necessary for sensitivity to others’ feelings and compassion. While you may not be physically hit or physically abused in this relationship, your heart will be broken 10,000 times. Even if you think you are a “strong” person and can handle it; your strength is not really strength but denial.

Adult Life
That adult life is much, much better than childhood. If you find yourself thinking the opposite, you are romanticising “not having any responsibility” while ignoring the other side of it, which is not having any freedom!

The Best Mindset for Minimizing Stress
It's tough to navigate stress. Part of the problem comes from how not many of us have developed effective ways for dealing with it. In general, social scientists agree that avoidance of stress is not a very effective coping strategy. A lot of (most?) life's stressors are unavoidable and cannot be avoided, but most people can still find ways to relax during difficult times. Although we have to cope with these changes, the best way to deal with them is to prepare in advance. People can get better at how they interpret the stress they experience, but we can't learn to be immune to it.
