I Have This Habit...

The sky doesn’t want me to breathe flames through petite unknowns

Let my skin stretch over, under, and through my frame to capture my essence in bones

i would lay down my life for her

Out of the frying pan...

So I just got diagnosed and put on treatment for depression a few months back. I knew I had it for years, and finally sought help.

It is one of the greatest things I've ever done with my life. If you're struggling with any mental illness find help.

Mental health is finally becoming a dialogue. People are beginning to understand and accept it's importance. Nowadays we have a goldmine of effective medication and therapy for recovery. So if that is something you struggle with keep fighting and don't be afraid to find help.

Personally since starting on my medication I finally feel normal. I feel like myself. I used to think about suicide AT LEAST once a day. Now I don't think about it. I just don't. It's helped change my outlook. Instead of dwelling, I look towards the future. I gotta say it has been beautiful.

Inversely, I feel like I'm out of the frying pan and into the fire. Now that my depression is managed, I've had to face the reality of the issues I've not yet dealt with. The result has been me using some unhealthy coping mechanisms. One of those mechanisms is disordered eating.

Bwahahaha!!!

the pope, or as i like to call him, the hokage of the catholic church

It might save your life...

I've reblogged Medical Emergency Warning signs for various organs if you have an E.D. (eating disorder). If you are suffering with one, please keep the chart below in mind.

Nine Psychological Tasks for a Good Marriage

Separate emotionally from the family you grew up in; not to the point of estrangement, but enough so that your identity is separate from that of your parents and siblings.

Build togetherness based on a shared intimacy and identity, while at the same time set boundaries to protect each partner’s autonomy.

Establish a rich and pleasurable sexual relationship and protect it from the intrusions of the workplace and family obligations.

For couples with children, embrace the daunting roles of parenthood and absorb the impact of a baby’s entrance into the marriage. Learn to continue the work of protecting the privacy of you and your spouse as a couple.

Confront and master the inevitable crises of life.

Maintain the strength of the marital bond in the face of adversity. The marriage should be a safe haven in which partners are able to express their differences, anger and conflict.

Use humor and laughter to keep things in perspective and to avoid boredom and isolation.

Nurture and comfort each other, satisfying each partner’s needs for dependency and offering continuing encouragement and support.

Keep alive the early romantic, idealized images of falling in love, while facing the sober realities of the changes wrought by time.
