Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Let Grief Be Loud.
When I first started writing about grief, I thought it would be too hard, but it turns out to be the easiest thing I’ve ever done. It has been so easy reaching into my soul and spilling my feelings. Whether people read the poems or I’m posting without results, writing about grief and putting it out into the world has been so healing. Though I’ll never heal, I’m thankful for that, because it means I’ll always have something to write about.

Why Are Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, and Counselors Called “Shrinks”?
Most of us have heard someone say, “I’m going to see my shrink,” with a shrug or a half‑smile — but have you ever stopped to wonder where that slang word came from? It’s one of those cultural words we have heard, and we begin using them without knowing what they actually mean.

The Power of Positive Thinking
How are you doing? How is life treating you at the moment? Life doesn't need to crash completely for you to feel "down on your luck." A failed promotion, or work project that didn't go as planned, or a missed opportunity can set you back months.

Mirror, Mirror - Who Do You See?
Hey, how are you feeling today? Have you taken some time for yourself today? If you are a trauma survivor, the answer is probably not.

My Experiences With Death
*Content warning: Descriptions of dead animals* When I was a teenager in high school I worked as a veterinary technician’s assistant. Believe me when I tell you there was absolutely nothing glamorous about this job. I had the grunt-iest of grunt work there was, which typically involved shit or piss (or both). While it was pretty gross it also had its moments. I’ve always loved animals so getting to see loads of them every day made it worth something. However, I was not prepared for how often I would have to work alongside death.

Pilgrim State Hospital
Pilgrim State Hospital was located in Brentwood, New York, and for much of the 20th century stood at the center of New York State's psychiatric system. Once promoted as a progressive solution to overcrowded urban asylums, it grew into the largest psychiatric hospital in the world, ultimately becoming a symbol of mass institutionalization, controversial treatments, and systemic neglect hidden behind the language of care.

Do You have a Support Network?. Top Story - January 2026.
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.
