DSM Realities

 


Obsessions linger deep in the night,

Phobias constrict, fears take flight.


Depression dims what once was bright,

Bipolar shifts, moods twist and bite.


OCD haunts with rituals tight,

Eating disorders steal joy from sight.


ADHD sparks a restless mind,

Autism shapes perceptions kind.


Borderline edges emotions’ sway,

Personality patterns in shades of gray.


Substance use blurs the path we take,

Sleep disorders steal the rest we make.


Dissociation fractures what we know,

Trauma echoes where shadows grow.


Each diagnosis, precise, profound,

Guides treatment paths where care is found.


Insight, therapy, and empathy’s art,

Bring hope and healing to every heart.

Holy in disguise (criticism applied)

Image
Oh Holy, holy are the lambs, Oh Roly, roly-poly and dirty are their hands. From a big fat zero to a negative ten, A wolf in a sheep's clothing; these are some of the men. To save one's image, you must erase whatever you can from the media, From police, to victims, to lawyers, to criminals, and everything undercover in the encyclopedia. With a sleight of hand: money laundering, fraud, murder, and sexual abuse. Hidden truths, yet holiness was spread all over the news. Predicted his death at 96 but died at 84, Blah blah , goo goo ga ga; he's known as Sathya Sai Baba. Allegations of pseudoscience, improper financial dealings, holding individuals captive, and sexual assault. Fooling the world is his default; Known as Sadhguru, real name Jagadish, occupation: rotten fish. Fraud, money laundering and rape: who could be this idiot wearing a wolf's cape? No fatal theory, facts-not cheery-this is a schizophrenic, named Shepherd Bushiri. Robbing U.S. taxpayers disgu...

Avengers

  AVENGERS! Do not read too quickly; you might miss the rhyme. You have a strong heart and a long lifespan, y ou have a genius brain and a fine game plan. You are a philanthropist, and your name is Iron Man. With anger and rage, avoidable issues are listed on an infinite page, As the calamities are in bulk, you have now turned into the Incredible Hulk. By diving under and defeating the enemy's blunder, A change of wonder, you have just become Thor, the God of Thunder. Perception of reality with a flick of a switch, Living in the present moment and you are now in control just like the Scarlet Witch. The clues to resolve matters are in range: problem-solving techniques and you are now Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange. Are you "you"? When you look in the mirror, do you see "you"? Never lead a double life that brings chaos and causes internal strife. A secret identity follows a perilous plan; The ultimate goal is to soar higher than the amazing Spider-Man...

High five! (Psych)

Image
  The past is an old user, The present is the current mover, The future can deliver something newer, How about a refreshing psychological booster? People can gossip, people can curse, people can throw funny remarks, and people can give you a fright. You are great, You are bright, Don't forget! You are glamorous in sight, whether in day or in night. People can break your heart by not knowing the good tendencies you have, People can take advantage of you even though it's honesty and love you only had, Remain calm! Untreated trauma can turn one really, really bad. Work with ambition to strive, Some bees can sting you in the hive, Chin up! You are already a conqueror of life! Hands up! It's time for a high five.
