Why 'White Coat Syndrome' and The Pandemic Are A Double Threat
These past two years have been fraught with enough challenges to make anyone’s blood pressure spike. From wildfires around the world to the novel coronavirus pandemic, these several months have provided plenty of coverage to raise alarm. But for those with white coat syndrome, these circumstances have created additional cause for concern.

Of Course You Do
Of Course You Do 1. Tara Sunder's eyes opened before her alarm went off. She reached over to find the other side of the bed empty so she laid still and listened. She could hear the clanking of a spoon in a cup down in the kitchen. Tara lifted her head and looked at the other side of the bed;

A Glimpse Inside my Mind
I’m often told that my words or actions don’t make any sense to others. In fact, I’ve been told this so much over several years that I’ve started to look at it as my downfall. That is-until recently. Just because it doesn’t make sense to you, don’t mean it doesn’t make sense to me. I’m not one to be labeled at “normal” and after some recent self discoveries I now understand why.

Try Not to Lose Yourself
It was this journey of evangelism which lead me to a rather different gospel. I knelt faithfully at the altar of doubt, praying to the Gods of my time, for success, for power, for wealth. Over and over again, the bell rang. I opened my eyes, to find all the Gods departed. Each time I pulled out my diary, continued the tally, returned the book to its pocket, and knelt again.

Vigilant Revenge
“Honey? Deb! What’s wrong with you?! Why won’t you answer me?!” I ran down the stairs to see my dad frantically shouting towards my mother who was sitting on our couch. As I approached her, she was staring straight ahead, but something was off. Her head was facing directly towards the front wall, her torso was turned towards the right, her legs were crossed very tightly at the front with her feet tucked underneath and in alignment with her head, and both of her hands were on her right knee with one on top of the other. Tears were dropping from her emotionless, frozen face.

Hormones vs. Me
I’m so happy to be in a new world now where mental health conditions are becoming increasingly accepted. I see so many positive blogs, articles, Facebook shares about how we should be kind. It’s great that those who are speaking out are encouraging the people surrounding us to then come forward and share their own battles.We are all facing our demons in one way or another.

THE THING WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN DRUG ADDICTION
There are many things in this world whose presence causes a possible threat to the livelihood of many other people. Some of those things can be avoided whereas some can be discarded but there are some which can neither be avoided nor discarded rather these create obstacles in the development of some persons.

A Grapheme Rainbow
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always automatically seen specific colors as numbers. For instance, the number one is black. Always. Three is red, four is olive green, and so on (see above). The number 842 looks like purple, olive green, pale yellow. If I stare at a painting it’s an exercise in paint-by-numbers, but mixed colors don’t have the same effect. Maroon, for instance, means nothing but maroon.

Psychology Of The Victim Complex
Back in clinical psychology, a “victim complex” or “victim mentality” refers to a character trait of persons who think they’re always the victims of others’ damaging activities, even if made aware of proof to the contrary. Many men and women undergo regular periods of easy self-pity — within their grieving process, for instance.

...But It Has A Face On It
Ever since I was young, I would give inanimate objects with faces a soul that did not exist. It was extremely difficult to get rid of old stuffed animals for this reason. If they would fall apart, I would try to fix them myself (usually badly), because I couldn't stand the thought of them being "hurt." Even though logically, I knew they weren't alive, it FELT like they were.
