You may know what these tablets are or know a loved one who takes them, but in case you don't, I will fill you in. That medication allows people to deal with a normal day to day life. Although most days it leaves them tired, spaced out, emotionless, or even super emotional.
Crazy right? Why would anyone want to feel like that?
Well this is why!!
You see, some people suffer from severe depression and anxiety.
In their brain it doesn't sit right, something seems different. They notice little differences that other people wouldn't. Most days they wake up sick and feel sleepless.
They consistently overthink every situation.
Was a comment about them; was it a joke?
Was that person supposed to laugh?
Or did they mean it?
Are they being nice?
Are they talking about them?
Do they talk about them?
They then think, I bet they don’t like me really.
They say sorry all the time. They feel like they annoy everyone.
And for all those questions they will spend hours trying to answer. Let it all build up in their mind, until it sends them to tears...... it's mental that they see things that way.
It's not only mental changes, but physical changes. They don't eat a lot or they eat way too much. Insomnia, up all night answering questions to situations that don't even exist, or sleep too much and waste half their day still feeling tired.
They still smile and they have every excuse for when you ask why.
But the tablets can help them. Because they know when they start to feel this way or think this way, they need help.
They know that when their behavior starts to change, They need guidance. And they understand that they don't need to be ashamed. They don't need to be understood. They just need to be accepted. Everyone is fighting a battle and sometimes you need to be kinder.
So I may just be another person who's talking about mental health....
Living with this illness is hard, but trying to understand it, is even harder. It’s also 100 times harder if they have another condition on top of this.
Don't suffer in silence.
Mental health is just as important as physical health.
Be part of the healing.
Be understanding.
Be kind.
Sometimes don’t even try to understand, just simply love that person, support them, and be there when they need you. Some people in my life have truly mastered this, and for you I will forever be grateful!

The Clown Motel, often called "America's scariest motel," is a unique roadside attraction in Tonopah, Nevada. Opened in 1985 by siblings Leroy and Leona David, the 33-room motel was a tribute to their late father, Clarence David, whose collection of over 150 clown statues adorned the property. Located next to the historic Tonopah Cemetery, the motel quickly became infamous for its eerie charm and unsettling theme.
In 1995, Bob Perchetti purchased the motel and managed it for over two decades, drawing curious travelers with its peculiar ambiance. In 2017, he listed the property for sale at $900,000. Two years later, it was bought by Vijay Mehar, who brought in his friend and former art director, Hame Anand, as CEO.
Anand revitalized the motel, giving it a new identity as "The World Famous Clown Motel." Under his management, the collection grew from 600 clown statues to over 4,000 pieces of clown memorabilia, solidifying its status as a must-see destination for fans of the bizarre.

Edwin Hubble has always been credited as the man who discovered the Cosmos. That assertion is not correct.
The universe is a big place, and you might think that it would take a genius to discover it. But you would be wrong. It turns out that the person who first realized that we live in a vast and expanding cosmos was not a famous scientist, but a humble priest from Belgium.
His name was GEORGES LEMAITRE. He was a soldier in World War I, then became an ordained priest and an astrophysicist. He studied the works of Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble, who had observed that galaxies are moving away from us in all directions.
LEMAITRE had a brilliant idea: if the galaxies are flying apart, then they must have been closer together in the past. And if we go back far enough in time, they must have been packed into a tiny point, which he called the "primeval atom". He proposed that this atom exploded in a colossal firework, creating space and time and everything in it. This event was later called the "Big Bang".
He published his theory in 1927, but it was largely ignored by the scientific community. It was not until 1929 that Hubble confirmed that the universe is expanding, and not until 1965 that two radio astronomers detected the cosmic microwave background radiation, the faint echo of the Big Bang. By then, LEMAITRE was an old man, but he lived to see his theory accepted by most astronomers.
