Can “Just This Once” Be Deadly?
How often have you found yourself saying “just this once can’t hurt?” You really want that last piece of cake. If you eat it you won’t have to put it away. The sugar is going to make your inflammation worse, but “just this once” should be OK, right? One little extra piece of cake isn’t…
Meeting Mechelle
She’s timid and quiet, trying to blend into the woodwork so nobody will see her. So many times she was told to be seen but not heard. She felt she had no voice. She lost her individuality. Her name was Mechelle. In a previous post I explained about my different personalities. http://empath.educatetheusatoday.com/who-are-the-survivors/ However, Mechelle is actually…
Calling On Carla
How in the world do I introduce Carla? A few weeks ago I posted about the names I’ve given my different moods. http://empath.educatetheusatoday.com/who-are-the-survivors/ Carla is the one who is entrusted with my mean negative moods. She’s evil and vindictive. Naming these moods is a form of disassociation, which is a common coping method for victims of…
Destiny Doesn’t Give A Damn
Hello people! I’m Destiny. You know… that naughty personality Shell tries to keep controlled. She spoke of me a few weeks ago in her post ‘Who Are The Survivors?‘ This is my chance to let my voice be heard. I’m the carefree one. Shell’s right. I don’t give a damn. When I have to come…
Why I Speak Of My Past
Why are so many abuse victims silent? Why do so many who are aware of their situation not speak up, or get out? How can they stay in a situation they know isn’t healthy? Why didn’t they tell someone? These and many more questions pop up when we learn of yet another person who has…
Who Are The Survivors?
It’s strange what survivors will do to cope with the things that they have experienced in their lives. They have to do whatever it takes to deal with the horrors that they live. To survive. The physical body can handle abuse much more easily than the mind. Mental abuse works at the person’s own self…
What A Difference A Day Makes
Every once in a while the opening line of an old song by Dinah Washington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBxVfQTuvI plays in my head. The line, which is also the title of the song, is “What a Difference A Day Makes”. A day. 24 hours. You wouldn’t think a lot can happen in a day until it happens to…
Be The Reason Someone Gives Thanks
The calendar has reached the time of year when it’s time to take stock of our lives and find all the things we have that we didn’t realize we had. We find all the reasons to give thanks. It’s also a time of the year that can be awfully depressing for some people. Those with…
Is Your “Friend” Killing You?
How often lately have you heard the phrase “toxic person”? This doesn’t refer to someone who poisons your food and makes you ill. (Although such a person certainly would be toxic as well!) Toxic people are poisonous to our souls and spirits. If someone around you is poisoning you, would you be aware of it? …
