Photo by Women's eNews A world ravaged by war means millions around the world are left in a state of total devastation. It could be it broken bodies, destroyed livelihood or the breakdown of social structure. But unfortunately, well intentioned efforts to rebuild rarely take into account the emotional wreckage that violence leaves in its wake. Without mental health and alleviation of the effects of PTSD, there can be no post conflict recovery, according to Dr. Stephen Alderman of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation.

Best Tips for Stress-Free Living
Stress is a response that triggers when you feel threatened and is an important signal to your body that something needs to change in order to keep you safe. In the short term, stress is not something that you want to avoid at all costs. Acute stress responses are perfectly healthy as they help us deal with challenging situations, such as a job interview or public speaking event. In these instances, stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol are released in small amounts while our body readies itself for action. However, if stress becomes chronic and we aren’t able to cope with it effectively, then its prolonged presence can have negative effects on our ability to function optimally. Chronic stress has even been shown to have an impact on our immune system and risk for developing diseases such as anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and arthritis.

If you are not strong, who will be brave for you?
with whenn I was a child, I cried, I was angry, and I didn't know how happy I was; when I grew up, I fell and no one helped me, my heart hurt and no one understood, so I learned to be strong and hide my grievances in my heart.

Ship of Emptiness
Have you ever heard of the Ship of Theseus? Hopefully, at the very least, that question brings a smile to your face. WandaVision helped bring the theory to a more central focus in the pop culture world. And really, there are thousands of discussions that can be had.

At Some Point, You Have To Own Your Shit
One common thing in life we share as human beings is the ability to be hurt. I don’t mean falling down and scraping our knees. I’m talking about being really, really hurt. Stuff that affects us negatively as adults.

Am I In A Different Universe Right Now?
I feel like I'm in a different universe as soon as my Mother in-law asks, "Emily when was the last time your family checked on you?" Later that day, my aunt called me and I got back into contact with my mother. I'm not sure of how I feel.

The most harmful things to a woman are resentment and guilt
Resentment allows us to direct our malevolent energy at others; guilt turns the tables and directs that negativity at ourselves.

The inner confessions of depressed people
We stay at home; we eat irregularly, or overeat, or cut off grains; we have reversed day and night, can't sleep at night, can't sleep during the day; we are depressed, self-deprecating, and lose interest in many things; we like to stay on the Internet; we seldom contact with friends; we are used to putting things off until the last minute; we can't see the meaning of life, and we can't see the future.

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.

I'm A Tree. Top Story - October 2022.
Even though the past two years have been comparable to surviving a thunderstorm in the open sea. I'm grateful to be living in a place somewhere close to nature. I get to go to a beautiful, lush park close to home and have walks that help me clear my own internal storms.
