Thoughts on survival, or, this one goes up to 11
Eleven years ago today, I left. I didn’t have much warning I was leaving– the staff preferred to only give a week’s notice. They didn’t want my eminent departure to give me an “exit mentality,” and it’s one of the first rules of maintaining control of another person: severely limit the information they have access …

Wait, do I have to come out about this too?
To be honest, I’m conflicted about posting this blog.

In some cases, a diagnosis can allow individuals who are …

Happy Mental Health Month / National Masturbation Month
I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that May is both Mental Health Month and National Masturbation Month. If you think about it, they’re both about taking care of yourself and your needs… and they can certainly go hand in hand (or, hand in… um. I’ll stop there). I’m a little skeptical of some of …
