disorder
The spectrum of Mental Health disorders is incredibly vast; we showcase the multitude of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behavior.
My Eating Disorder
I have an eating disorder. It's weird, admitting it so publicly. It feels like admitting that I'm a failure. It feels like I'm letting the world know of yet another problem I have that I cannot control. I have a binge eating disorder. This means that when I'm stressed, or sad, or when I feel nothing, I find myself eating and eating until I'm sick. Taking bite after bite until my stomach hurts and I'm crying over how much I hate myself for what I can't stop doing, and even then, I take another bite. The shame that comes after is all-consuming.

Fragmented
Diary Entry March 20th 2011 So, I was called to Mrs Reta’s office today to discuss my “behavioural” problems. All I want is to sit quietly in my corner and write my stories but apparently, I’m a danger to myself and my surroundings. Anyhow, I’m not looking to cause trouble so I’m going to be a good little girl, swallow their pills and write in this stupid diary. Noting down my thoughts and current circumstances is supposed to keep my head all neat and tidy. So, just to keep principal Adolf happy here it goes. My name is Sydney Crawford, I am 17 years old and I’m in my final year in Weald of Kent Grammar school. I’ve been taking clozapine for two years now. My parents are Harry and Eloise Crawford. I have no friends, nobody to talk to and nobody to care for. Hopefully Uni will be better. I’m bound to enjoy astrophysics after all, since physics is my favourite subject. St. Andrews is known to be a perfect university for that, so academically I should flourish. As a side note, hopefully I’ll also meet the love of my life there.

Why Do I Cut Myself?
I’m a man for whom many would characterize as an unconscionable rogue. I did nothing for the world or anyone in it. Yet, and I’m biased on this matter, I was a deliciously likable rogue. It’s true, I was loud, sometimes aggressive (if I was obliged to fight, then fight, I would).

Stain Glass
9 am. Currently, I am just lying in bed, complementing the existence of my life. I look at the blank white wall, frowning as blue and yellow insects appear to flutter and scribble patterns into the pebbled surface. Many of the bugs are the shades of jewels and have eerie humanoid eyes. The worst thing: I know they are not real. Just a bunch of fabricated, animated images my brain decided to conjure today. The bugs began to dance, and soon… the screaming starts.

How to Heal from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
From political climate, to the actual climate, 2021 has already given us a plenty of reasons to feel completely out of sorts. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD or seasonal depression) will be another catalyst of stress and anxiety for some of us this Winter.

INCOMPREHENSIBLE
It is the instinct of the smallest brain reptile to protect their young. It is second nature to almost every living being to do that no matter what the cost. And most of us would not give a second thought to giving up our own lives, so that our children, get a chance in this world. So what happens when a mother kills her children. Is she evil, is she mentally is, or did she simply want to rid herself of the responsibilities of parenthood. Maybe it is all 3, for myself personally I think in some cases it could be a combination of them all. One thing is for sure there are few who have a lot of understanding when this happens. We are going to take a look at a couple of cases and we can draw our own conclusions as to what the case may be.
