The Drug Called Anxiety – Are you enabling mental health victims by keeping them addicted to their own pain?

I read an article by Huff Post that talked about how suffering and struggle are emotional addictions as strong as addictions to alcohol, nicotine and drugs. The only difference is that emotional addictions are created by our internal emotional states rather than external substances introduced to the body.
So if you notice a pattern in your life of struggle and suffering from one issue to another with little respite in between there’s a great chance you have an emotional addiction.
Every emotion, either positive or negative, is a blend of chemicals (neurotransmitters and hormones) that our brain instantly produces in response to thoughts. This cocktail circulates throughout the body producing corresponding sensations that are felt at both the psychological and physical levels. The chemistry of emotion is very addictive, if repeated frequently over a long period of time.
There is nothing wrong with feeling negative emotions such as frustration, anger, impatience, judgment, anxiety or even getting depressed once in a while. We are humans after all, and these emotions are part of the human experience, enriching it and teaching us something about ourselves and others. The key here is to process them quickly to remove their chemistry from the body, before they become a craving-driven habit.
The rehab process is very simple and yet hard to follow as it requires consistency over time (which is a weak spot for many of us). You can read about it here:

There can't be "enough" information on GBV more so during this COVID-19 outbreak. Gender-based violence cuts across ethnicity, race, class, religion, education level, and international borders.

There can’t be “enough” information on GBV more so during this COVID-19 outbreak. Gender-based violence cuts across ethnicity, race, class, religion, education level, and international borders. However, looking at past epidemics, women tend to experience more physical, psychological and time burdens as caregivers. I know that statistics on GBV vary, but almost every woman I know has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. We can do campaigns to increase resources related to COVID-19 and GBV risk mitigation across sectors. Not just what the WHO and other main health organisations are offering because that is too general but specific community centred information.

The quality and professionalism is lacking sometimes. We don't have a well planned management system so artists freestyle and do random unplanned things that don't always build their brands.

We laugh it of and assume it was nothing or that she was responding to how bad we treated her so it os okay. Men rarely even look at it as violence because of how most of us have been raised. We need a lot of help because many are suffering in abusive marriages and the world will never know.

Rape is about power and control. Rapists don't always just pick any random person, it is mostly someone they know: a friend, a neighbour, a colleague, a family member etc. (Although they can also be random) Since rapists are sick and weak, they tend to prey on vulnerable people... that's why 4 monthRead more

Since rapists are sick and weak, they tend to prey on vulnerable people… that’s why 4 month old babies and 80 year old women are raped.
The issue about reporting rape I think is hard because our justice system treats the person who has been raped like trash and ask stupid questions like are you sure?*&%$
When the rapist is at a higher position of power than the victim, it becomes hard to go against them for fear of the repercussions. If the president raped you today going against him would be a lost battle unless you have some strong evidence.
