Let’s talk about something most of us have a hard time acknowledging, identifying, and accepting – in ourselves and others. Narcissism. There is a pervasiveness of narcissism in our culture. Social media, society, and even our president encourages it. Post...

Looking Into The Fire

I looked into the fire and felt entirely and utterly alone. The room was full of people. Some reached out to me. But I just kept staring. A man who didn’t seem to talk much came up to me, tapped...

Slogging Through The Muck – With Love

I’ve talked about suicidal thoughts a lot here. The reason I do is because I know a lot of people have them. In fact, I think everyone at some point in their life has them. And society shames us for...

I have this friend who has always told stories that sound too big to be real. Big fish tales. I’ve told him that sometimes, I wonder if he is a pathological liar. But I’ve recognized that he has a big...

I’m always writing philosophical things. (Have you noticed? ;)) But what’s really getting at me isn’t all this philosophical stuff. At least I don’t think so. Maybe it’s just the reality – what’s right in front of me. I avoid...

So something big happened in the last week or two. Or could have been big. Yeah, I guess it was big anyway. All my assumptions about what I thought I wanted were challenged. Well, I guess come to think of...

I wrote this post about polyamory a while ago. It became a bit viral in the polyamory community. There were very extreme reactions to it. Positive and negative. And looking back on the post, I remember what I was feeling...

[Disclosure: This post will discuss rape, specifically my own. Be warned if this may trigger you.] I have this book I own. I don’t even remember when I picked it up at a used bookstore…or why. Sometimes, it feels like...

Depressive Days

seekingmybalance August 8, 2018July 29, 2019 Mental Health depression0 Comment on Depressive Days

The pill I am on does not remove depressive days. It only (theoretically) reduces the number of episodes by 50% and reduces the number of days and severity of the episodes. Hence, I still go into what I call the...

I used to write. A lot. Like…a lot lot. Hours a day sometimes. From high school through to college. Almost every day. So needless to say, I have a whole archive of writing I will likely never read. It’s just...

Seeking Support to Spread The Love

If you’ve been reading along, you’ve likely been noticing my focus on intimacy lately – discussing cuddling sessions, bringing up intimacy discussions online (the second of which is happening on July 12 at 7PM MT), and stepping away a bit from my counseling career in certain ways (and towards it in others). This is because for the first time in my life, I want to plunge headlong into something that is by far not stable or a sure bet but what I’m passionate about. For the first time, I actually want to put effort into making the world better in as direct a way as I possibly can given my skills. I’ve made a proposal for this that you can find here: http://seekingmybalance.com/2017/06/14/seeking-support-to-spread-the-love/
