Don't Sign That Medical Release
Fantastic neuro-spicy TikTokkers raised my awareness about ADHD in women enough to inspire me to get tested at the age of 58. Unfortunately, nobody warned me about how much leeway a psychiatrist has when passing on your most traumatic, sexual, and personal details, including all of his session notes which he can send to your general practitioner. Now my most personal experiences and thoughts are available to non-medical office staff, an entire hospital/ insurance system and everyone in their offices with access to medical files.

Shut Down Mode Engaged — Please Begin Emergency Restart Procedures
Last year, I did well. For a few solid months straight I was super motivated. I wrote articles every day and struggled to decide which projects to work on. Build my audience on Vocal media or here on Medium, finish editing the final draft of my book, and continue writing the new book I’m working on, I capped out most months on my eBay listings on my store. And I still have all of that going on, but I also have a real estate license to study for, as well as all the typical ‘mom-wife-life’ stuff I have going on.

PNES/PNEA/Functional Seizures
I had my brother record the video up top because I felt it coming on and wanted to show my neurologist. I uploaded it to YouTube as a way to spread awareness of PNEA, as even healthcare professionals don't know a lot about them. My sister is the one who was helping me, at only nine years old. I'm lucky to have a helpful family, not everyone has that.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.
