Mind Attacks: A Journey From Hurt to Healing

As a young person, we always have the highest hopes for ourselves, but so much life happens along the way that it can deter any young, beautiful girl from her original path. This is a journey of how a young lady fights to overcome anxiety, depression, guilt, and "Mind Attacks."\nFamily can easily and naturally become the center for love and/or hate, which is exactly where it begins in this journey. Her loving family housed a young predator, as vicious as the older ones, but kept and swept his secret under the rug. The only thing that could possibly make abuse worse is having to expose another abuse taking place in order to protect someone that you love.\nThis story presents obstacles and aspects of several forms of abuse. Once you've been violated, it's very difficult to have normal relationships with others; they couldn't possibly understand the things you've been through and the effects of them. Abuse follows you through love and age... abuse is like scars-they may fade, but will always remain. Relationships with God and others will in turn become challenging.\nMind Attacks will take you along a whirlwind of ups and downs. True transformation comes through the form of healing to move on and past all of life's tumultuous dealings. However, once you've changed your frame of mind and spirit, then you can no longer be attacked through neither your mind, body or soul.

Literature & Fiction

Mental Illness: the term that has endless meanings. Families that have someone afflicted by a mental illness like Schizophrenia often experience PTSD and are affected by it differently. We all eventually learn to survive, just as my brother has. The word "CRAZY" could apply to any one of us, at certain times in our lives. We are complicated beings. We could be a product of our upbringing or we might just be who we were destined to be. We all try to do the best we can, as I'd like to think my parents did. My poetry speaks to my experiences before my brother was born, growing up with him, how I dealt with the fear of abandonment and continue to fight the effects of a dysfunctional family that tried to survive a lot of adversities. My words carry to the present day. This is how I feel. No one can tell a family how to be or feel. It can be a different experience for everyone. This is about the heart, pain, and the sprinkles of lighter moments from my eyes. This is about my brother.

At the age of thirty-three, in the middle of her Jesus Year, Ashley was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis-an autoimmune disorder for which there is no cure. In the year that followed, depression and anxiety, on top of the grueling symptoms of her MS, sought to sideline Ashley, and she found herself clinging to God closer than ever before. Sometimes you have to get knocked down to get back up stronger. And Ashley is living proof of that truth. She has bounced back from the immobilizing flare-up that led to her diagnosis, and has since found perspective, purpose and restored faith. Jesus Year is the book that Ashley wishes she was given when she was first diagnosed.

To Her From Her describes real-life affairs we may encounter while on our self-love journey. Our self-awareness contributes to the significant decisions that we make in our daily life. We meet new people, experience different situations and learn new life lessons every day. This makes our self-awareness a never-ending journey. But why is self-awareness important? It allows you to experience your uniqueness and empowers you to make changes by building on your strengths and identifying areas you would like to improve to be a better you. It is easy to say that you love yourself. But it can be difficult to determine how aware you are of yourself without practicing self-reflection. Loving yourself means putting yourself first, creating boundaries and spaces that are good for your health, both mentally and physically. To Her From Her will help challenge your mindset, in addition to being more true to your authentic self.
