yesterday, my car told me her name. after an evening storm, the roads were coated with fog. when driving on the unlighted side roads that twisted and turned every few yards, the only thing one could see was about a foot of pavement underneath a dense blanket. nights like these are rare, but when they [...]

During college was the first time I explicitly sought out a psychiatrist about my experiences with psychosis. I had been dealing with it for a long time, since I was a child. But other than when I hospitalized myself due to the nature of the hallucinations I was experiencing at the time and my need [...]
Language is a complicated beast. Many days, the concept of language makes no sense to me. I struggle with words, their definition, their structure and the grammar of my sentences. I wind up speaking in riddles, using words incorrectly, or making up words on the spot in attempts to articulate what it is I’m trying [...]
Note: This post was originally posted on Questioning Transphobia. I’m cross-posting it here because what better way to get back into the swing of talking about trans issues than to blog about it? Or at least in my world. It’s what works for me, so I’mma do it. I’ve been avoiding the trans community for [...]

Over the last day or so I’ve found myself in the forests of Felwood again. Despite the vast dislike for the zone among players, this place has always been dear to me. I typically find myself here long before I need to as a Warlock (and like it or not ‘locks, if you want one [...]
Longing for something you can’t have, can’t reach no matter how far you stretch your arm out, is probably the most painful thing I have had to experience. Forget all of my chronic and acute pain, my dislocations and fruitless ER trips. They’re nothing compared to this tugging in my heart. There is this Wall. [...]
Someone I know recently made the claim that Schizophrenia and “exceptional creativity” are “practically the same”. This stems from a very common misconception that I see, regarding the understanding of Schizophrenia and other schizotypal spectrum disorders (Schizotypal Personality Disorder, Schizoid Personality Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder and in some cases Schizoaffective Disorder).
