Empath series: My empathy goes to the dogs.
In January 2013, I had, what was to me, a rather intense experience. My partner asked me if I wanted to go out to the movies with her. It was a midday session, and within walking distance.

Depression Series – Anti-depressants or how depressing, they’re screwing me up.
Anti-depressants It’s fortunate that depression is finally recognized as a real problem.

Being ridiculed is a small price to pay for helping even one other.
As an Empath, I’ve come across a lot of strange things that I would have sworn could not be true. As a sceptic, I tend to not take things on face value. As a cynic, I tend to look between the lines. As an intuitive, I have learned to trust my feelings completely. Logic, as…
