No words were able to come out of my mouth. Instead, there was a series of questions that came from her. She wanted to know why I was cutting myself;why I hadn’t come to her; and how long had it been going on. I told her that I was unhappy and ashamed of my skin. We sat in the car for about two hours talking and crying. I realized how much my actions affected other people. I also realized that the skin I live in will never change. My skin isn't anything that I should be ashamed of. On that day, I promised myself that I would never cut again. In order to keep that promise to myself I started a diary. Anytime I felt like cutting or felt down, I would write.…
Happiness, bliss, love, thrill, fear, heartbreak, but there's one word that stood strong beneath each of those, depression. It’s sad to think, that what everyone had failed to see was, that behind that smile of mine, was a darkness with so much depth it engulfed me. The only one who had ever known was the girl that was like a sister to me, Elena. We battled depression together for years, she was the one who won her battle…I did not. I couldn’t, it’d become the taunting, negative voice that kept me up every night and the one that’d scream at me everyday. The tears that’d stain my pillowcase and the reason I hid behind a mask since I’d been ten years old. Slowly everyday that truly happy girl everyone would know, became the happy girl everyone knew. Only if they had known, I couldn’t ever figure out why it’d cloud my thoughts, kill my happiness, and take complete control of my life. But no one would ever know, because I was able to go through those days with a smile so bright, no one would question if I was okay or not. The truth is I wasn’t, everything inside of me was tumbling down and…

Chapter 5 of the Surgeon General report discusses the topic of recovery. Recovery has a variety of meanings which depend on a handful of components. Based on the person, their circumstances, beliefs, and values will determine how recovery is defined. To had better understand recovery, it is separated into categories of individual experiences and recovery beliefs and values. When it comes to experience, the road to recovery is different from person to person. There are communities that believe the help and support of friend and family is necessary to reach recovery. In some cultures, religion and spirituality are key parts in achieving recovery. Individuals who identify their abuse as mild or moderate often define recovery for themselves when…

The moment I woke up from my surgery I remember my surgeon say that "everything thing went well, that the gallbladder came out fine with no complications." She must have turned to my mom because she had said that she wanted me to stay overnight to monitor me, crazy thing was is that I was a actually still pretty drugged up, the room was a little fuzzy my mouth had a weird dry nasty taste inside of it that I really can't put my tongue to, they wouldn't even give me water right away As I looked down i wasn't in the baggy tan robe gown any more that they had given me when i had first arrived at devos children's hospital. I looked down at my stomach i had three little cuts along my side covered in little butterfly stitches and…

Surgery, though crude and painful, did exist in the time of the Renaissance. Early Renaissance surgeons were ignorant of the human body and surgical procedures were almost never successful. They were continuously trying to unveil the mysteries of the body. How and why it functioned, its purposes, and its needs.…
When we got back from San Antonio, all I thought was, “She’s leaving… forever.” I wanted to cry, but at the same time I wanted to punch something really badly. I felt as if my emotions are in a war, my head spins in circles. I’m not sure if I’m in reality or in my nightmare that’s clinging on to me tightly, that won’t let me breathe. I’m being choked by my own thoughts. I put myself in depression without even realizing it.…
Surgeons operate on patients to treat injuries, such as broken bones; diseases, such as cancerous tumors; and deformities. During the course of an operation, the surgeon must make important decisions about the patient’s health, safety, and welfare. Additionally, the surgeon must work to ensure cooperation among the other members of the surgical team and make sure everything runs smoothly in the operating room. There are several settings a surgeon can work in: a private practice, academic medicine, institutional practice, hospitals, ambulatory surgery settings, and government service programs. Working as a surgeon can be very stressful and is not a job for everyone. To be a surgeon someone has to be intelligent, creative, courageous and a leader. Being a surgeon is a life long process and you must have discipline and be as flexible as possible. Its very important that surgeons seek out all opportunities to be in the operating room. Becoming a surgeon is a very lengthy process. It requires four years of undergraduate school, four years of medical school and 3-10 years of residency and fellowship training. John Hopkins University, Harvard University, Stanford University and University of Pennsylvania are some of the best colleges to go to, to become a surgeon. The average cost of education to become a surgeon is about $150,000-$250,000 or more.…

The truth is I hated what I was doing and I would have given anything to be able to get up in the morning and start getting my life back on track. To be able to go to Uni and apply myself and to have the energy to exercise and the self-esteem to make friends. When I did manage to do something normal however you never even realised or appreciated it. Every time I cooked us a nice dinner or went out in public for a date, worked out or went to Uni was my equivalent of climbing Mount Everest. That 'person' that you thought you I was, was just my depression. I was inside the whole time fighting to get better for the both of us but when I came to you begging for support, my words fell on deaf ears. I wasn't being lazy, I was physically incapable of doing the things I wanted so desperately to do. The fact is, I wanted to do those things so badly that I wanted to kill myself because I couldn't. I'm not a bad person. I'm the most genuine and compassionate man of conviction that you'll ever meet, I've just been incredibly sick. In retrospect, I should have been in therapy and medicated a long time ago. Now I understand it wouldn't have been a walk in the park for you either, but you have no idea how bad it was for me. My mental health should have been a priority for you. I was worth…
1. What are the key issues that Barbara Norris faces at the GSU? Why are they important to the organization?…
My best friend has many problems at home, and with other people i know. I know she needs someone there for her, and she feels alone. But sometimes, she will just bring it out on me, with her words (usually to other people). Knowing this, we were sitting in my room watching netflix and when she got up to go to the bathroom i was still on her phone, i looked at the app called “notes” and saw some things about me ‘not having any friends’ (and more) but instead of telling her i read it, i decided to just let it go. I texted her a few days later about it, and she apologized about 1000 times. She said she didn’t write it to hurt me, but to let out some anger she was holding in her from some past experiences. It hurt me, but knowing her intentions made the situation way…
