Please do take all I write here with a grain of salt. I'm just a philosophy major and I've not yet taken a class, but I do pride myself on being able to compound information and spit it out cohesively rather well, as well as being able to logic things out, so to speak, passably… Continue reading The Philosophy of Suicide

The following is based on a video that my favorite Youtuber, Olly of Philosophy Tube, recently did. He’s a British Philosophy MA and after going through a phase of making old dogs like Nietzsche, Mill, and Kant look shiny and new for a nascent and only mildly interested audience, he turned away from a bunch… Continue reading Sartre, Descartes, and the Colonized Mind: A Philosophy Tube Ripoff

TRIGGER WARNING: Physical/psychological abuse, rape, eating disorders, general mental illness.   This is going to be a long one, so buckle in. I get a surprising amount of questions from friends and strangers alike that are very far off from the timeline of my life. One I get a lot is “so, was that sociopath… Continue reading A timeline of the last three years of my life.

If you don't know who Shane Dawson is, he's a very famous Youtuber whose vast amount of subscribers check in on him to see long, expose style mini-documentaries on relevant internet topics. Most recently, he did a video titled "The Return of Eugenia Cooney." It's really excellent and I recommend you watch it, it'll give… Continue reading VIDEO: Re: Shane Dawson and Eugenia Cooney

If there's anything that makes me really shake, it's sociopaths. Well, even more than that, and this isn't something I usually talk about with folks- so even those close to me wouldn't know it- but the thing that really grinds my gears the most is internet pro-ana content. What the heck am I talking about?… Continue reading The Scourge of Pro-Ana Content

When I was in seventh grade, I was pulling my hair out. By the time I got to eighth grade, I’d stopped hair pulling. After a friend said something that made me sad and my mother found me sobbing on my bed, she sent me to a therapist.   At this point, here was my… Continue reading My Diagnosis and Medication Journey

Yes, I'm on Reddit. Yes, I'm a bit ashamed. I like to feebly remind folks that Serena Williams' (husband) invented Reddit, so it can't be all bad! I originally joined it a few years ago to follow the conversation surrounding my favorite TV show, and one of the only I watch, Survivor. I recently used it… Continue reading Relics of Cries for Help: An Old Reddit Post

There are a few things that have really made the difference in the fact that I haven’t once seriously thought “I want to die” in four months, or a record for me. After my departure from the hospital, my dad and I underwent a series of lifestyle changes that, in conjunction with medication changes, have… Continue reading How sleep has saved my life

Today, I filmed a video. It was an hour long. It detailed the entire timeline of what my emotionally abusive, sociopathic ex did, from the moment I first saw him and remarked on his visual similarity to Harry Potter to the last time we communicated. I got it all out there. My intent was not… Continue reading The Power of Not Posting
