We’ve been taught to call it love, but what if it’s just another high? From “you don’t get me high anymore” to “I don’t know how to live without this,” the language hasn’t changed but the substance has. If you need someone to function, that’s not romance.

The Neurochemical Architecture of Desensitization: Phantogram’s “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” and Demi Lovato’s “Wasted”

The opening imagery of Phantogram’s “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” (2016) serves as a potent clinical case study in the intersection of substance use imagery and the psychological state of powerle…

Crown
A #poetry thread

i.

My Lady stood within an arch
and wore her weighty crown of stone.
She gave her hand and I embarked
on a great quest I should have known.

As we walked, she steadfastly sighed
about the burden that she bore.
She dropped her veil and then she cried
that her long neck was tense and sore.

By middle age, I finally noticed how much of my life I wasted befriending narcissists and trying to reform toxic work environments.

Most of my twenties and thirties, really. Very eye-opening.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
 
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 4 (12.4) (AD 161-180) [tr. Haines (Loeb) (1916)]

Brutally efficient, ‘A Trail of Blood’ is a great title of realistic psychological horror centered on the relation between a mom and her son.
Make sure you can handle the subject first because you will be shaken.

Day 5 of being off of Trazodone after a month long taper. First time I’ve felt mostly normal in over 2 months.

4 sessions of #EMDR in the books, really getting to my core wounds now. Tough work.

Beginning to do the tough work of healing from #codependency.

I always thought knowledge and awareness of trauma and mental health would spare me pain. But I’m beginning to realize some things are just painful, and healing takes time.
