Cotard Delusion

Cotard Delusion is a psychiatric disorder in which a person has the delusional belief that they are dead, has lost internal organs, blood, body parts, or believing that they have no soul. It is a relatively rare disorder. Mostly reported with patients that has also been diagnosed with brain damage, psychotic disorders, and mood disorders. Different individualized treatments and medications help extinguish the disorder. I think Cotard Delusion is one of the most interesting and intense disorders that I have read about so far. Sometimes I am in total disbelief with the cases. I totally do not recommend reading about it if you are sensitive to this kind of subject, but if you find it as interesting as I do then I definitely recommend it.

Alien Hand Syndrome

I have been educating myself lately on different types of disorders. Some of them are pretty messed up. Such as Alien Hand Syndrome. Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS) is a very rare neurological disorder. Neurological Disorders are diseases in the brain, spine, and the nerves that connect to them. Extreme symtoms of AHS is self inflicted choking or punching, and unintentionally stuffing food in your own mouth. AHS was discovered in 1909, there has only been 40 to 50 cases of the disorder since then.

Seriously Though

It is honestly so easy to feel happy after not caring about someone you really cared about. It is super hard moving on, but once you moved on you ask yourself, "Why didn't I just do this in the beginning?" Us humans can look right through someones flaws to the point where we do not realize how sad they actually made us. It is like we could look in the mirror and know for a fact that we are sad, and act like we deserve it, being totally blinded by the person who is making you feel this way. Acting like that person makes our lives better. How do you expect to build up your happiness with someone who has tore it down to the point where you just do not want to try anymore? You don't. We're all still living our lives. We have so much more coming towards us, so I suggest, do not let someone get in the way of your happiness. It is unnecessary for a person to waste their time to tear you down, while you listen, while you could have been going out and getting some ice cream. We need to care about ourselves too, because in all reality, if you don't care about yourself, then who is?

Friday

I am going to be completely honest, most of the people who I keep in contact with are depressed. I really do want to help. I want to be there for all of them, make them feel good about themselves, and make them laugh and positive stuff like that. But sometimes I want to tell the truth. I feel like 99% of the time these people are just having a bad day, claiming that they have severe depression, and they need attention. A lot of my friends, including myself, are still young and are going to experience new things in life. We have a lot more coming towards us, and I just find it silly that we are focused on one thing that is breaking us down, when we could be focusing on the many things that bring us up. We could have it worse, a lot of us need to start appreciating the things and people we have in life.
