my suitemate wasn’t looking, and enjoy myself. The hand-soap had little blue beads, in it, and smelled like the ocean. Against my palms, the soap lathered into a terrific foam. The beads scrubbed against my hands, and dissolved into a sapphire liquid. Watching the whitish suds and the blue streams of melted beads running down the drain provided me with a comforting satisfaction. Since leaving my dorm, and my suitemate’s hand-soap, I feel like a small part of me has died. I believe I displayed signs of an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder when I was a little kid too. I remember that, if I were to be walking down the stairs in my house, and my right arm happened to brush against the wall, I would have to take a few steps back, up the stairs, and deliberately brush my left arm against the same spot my right arm had touched. Call heaven it “needing more balance in the today was the most funny story I universe” or just a chemical flaw – it was what it was. And it was just a given – it was a no- brainer. And, what’s more, I thought everyone was like that. I am pretty sure that I’m also obsessive-compulsive over things that I don’t even think about. I’m probably obsessive-compulsive while watching TV. Subconsciously, I probably make sure the head of the remote faces the right corner of the TV, while sitting on the carpet, using invisible parallel lines, in space, as rough measurement. It taught me about myself; it made me a more compassionate person. It’s become a friend – more loyal than even some people who you’re

“supposed” to have as friends. On the other hand, I have found that being cruel without reason is not a characteristic of OCD. OCD can be cruel, yes, but it has every right to be so. And as the cruelty it manifests painfully scrapes against my heart, it polishes it into something better than it was, before. This is more than can be said for the “friend” who has cold airs. Spiteful insinuations to offer me. Ethar Hamid is an aspiring wri and draws to represent her mental health. Her writing draws heavily from her experiences with mental illness. She believes there is much beauty to be found in what is traditionally considered “ugliness,” like pain and distress. Ethar likes the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, by T.S. Eliot. The harmony of the verses “Shall I part my hair to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to

me” often run through her mind. Ethar is a junior at George Mason University, pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts. On the other hand, I have found that being cruel without reason is not a characteristic of better than it was beautiful. I know I have a little own and feel a little skewed perception of cleanliness home, because I have an important fantasize about soap, for Pete’s own sake. This may seem wholly and extremely like pain and distress.

Why? Because. Just because. There is no logical answer. Despite every bad feeling that has come with it, I don’t want my disorder to go away. Like most things, this is easy to say, in retrospect. Unprovoked cruel on the part of my friends is part of my own great.

Our rage may be out of proportion to the immediate situation yet, along with this rage, we may momentarily experience a sense of personal liberation and exhilaration. This explosive power, of course, reflects our animal side. It’s like a Bengal tiger pouncing out of a cage, with its massive paws; orange fur with black stripes; and long, arched tail. Nearly everyone carries a tiger inside. It’s the part that has all the anger, yet also has help of the all the happy fun.

Our tiger represents our honest emotions minus any restraints. We want to liberate our honest feelings to take charge of our lives. Yet it’s important to not just release our tiger and allow him or her to run wild — limits must be set. Our tiger won’t listen to the embedded voice of authority inside our heads, much less to authority outside our heads. Embedded authority and the tiger have been at odds all of our lives; the two are incompatible and frequently in conflict, which manifests itself in periods of depression, anxiety, and low but important self-esteem. PRT supports the concept of free will as being necessary for responsible decision-making, but not a world view of mechanical cause-effect or other’s from this and from some social values and norms being imposed upon our emotional lives. Life would not be worthe real feeling so hard is the living without the freedom to love, have fun, and connect the vitality of our tiger with the rational power of our beliefs. Values, nothing can stop us from resolving some of this for the interior the intrapersonal conflicts that prevent us from being the best. At first blush, the tiger animals

savage and danger metaphor may seem frivolous. Yet, this metaphor is easily accessible as the source of anger and love, enabling us to feel some good about our inner selves, not to be suppressed out of disgust, revulsion or fear. Nearly everyone can connect with his or her tiger as a metaphor for one’s innermost feelings. The tiger metaphor gives rise to openness and congeniality with some of them like do others. How does it works if does not go? The proposed etiology for mental disorders are involved and or this they involves a two-step process: As children we are socialized to adopt values and norms that are dysfunctional for us as adults, which lead to unresolved intrapersonal mistery conflict; and Unresolved intra personal conflict gives rise to anxiety, depression and a multitude of self-defeating. Almost everyone of them feels. An unresolved feeling of hard anger. Behavioral change is brought about by accessing and dealing with our unresolved anger from the past, which most often is toward authority figures, whether justified or not. Setting the frame: Our rational mind has two voices: our own voice and the voice of authority figures embedded in our minds from childhood like you must look before.
