Anxiety After Hospitalization: When Medical Treatment Leaves Emotional Scars
As the title of this article implies; the emotional effects of a hospital stay (even a "short" stay) can linger - even if the relevant medical procedures were an overwhelming success. The emotional effects may not manifest immediately upon discharge, but rather show up in an individuals psyche weeks, months or even years after being discharged from hospital. If you ever find yourself needing an operation (whether you end up being put to sleep, or you can remain awake during such); people (myself included) have requested the relevant medical staff involved to only speak kind words (no laughter at and no gossip) to and about one another, including their colleagues outside of the operating room at the time of your operation/surgery. Even if you happen to be unconscious with general anaesthesia; your mind still takes in everything that is going on in the operating room/theatre at the time. And only focus on the well of positivity in general such as good news stories, and investments going well for example. As you would have gathered by now, this article is part-memoir, part-wisdom. I wish to thank the entire team in the operating room for respecting this wish of mine, and for being so caring.

When Reflection Feels Like Accomplishment
There is a subtle experience many people recognize but struggle to name: the feeling of having done something meaningful without having actually changed anything. It often follows long periods of thinking, talking, organizing, or refining ideas. The mind feels clearer. Tension feels reduced. There is a sense of closure or completion. And yet, when examined closely, nothing in the external world has moved. No decision has been enacted. No behavior has shifted. No responsibility has been embodied. What changed was internal orientation, not external reality.

How Tarot Truly Changed My Life. Content Warning.
How Tarot Truly Changed My Life: Tarot consists of specific cards containing spiritual symbols and a particular energy that can only be read by someone with high energy or high vibrations. Therefore, you shouldn't listen to just any reader, as some readers use it solely for financial gain. Instead, focus your energy on someone whose spirit you feel connected to.

Scrapbooking as a Tool for Mental Health
In my early twenties, I started keeping a daily journal. I enjoyed doodling, gluing in receipts, and writing down my thoughts. I started journaling with the intention of capturing memories, since my mental illness greatly affects my long-term memory.
