The world ended when it happened to me.

2025/4/12 Edited to

... Read moreLife can change in an instant, and how we respond to unexpected challenges speaks volumes about our character. In this article, I delve deeper into my journey of survival, focusing on the particular circumstances that tested my limits. In April 2021, I was affected by a serious ordeal related to Cipro, an antibiotic that led to adverse effects. This experience of being "floxed" not only changed my health but also reshaped my perspective on life. Many individuals suffer silently after such incidents, and it's crucial to speak out and share these stories to raise awareness and support others in similar situations. Realizing the importance of community and connection, I’ve included insights into how sharing these experiences can help heal and empower others. Throughout my journey, the hashtags #lifechanging and #survivor became a source of strength for me, while also serving as a reminder that resilience is a collective endeavor. Whether you’ve faced a life-altering condition, chronic pain, or other significant challenges, know that you are not alone. This narrative encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences and recognize the bravery it takes to survive and thrive despite unforeseen obstacles. It’s a call to arm for all who have ever felt defeated or marginalized due to health issues or other circumstances. By sharing my story and connecting with the community, I hope to inspire others to embrace their narratives, fostering a sense of unity and strength among survivors.

The conversation ended. But your body was still carrying it. Sometimes the nervous system needs more time to process what happened than the conversation itself. Stress responses don't always end when the interaction ends. #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaResponse #EmotionalHeal

How I ended up in forensic psychology 🧠⚖️
I originally planned to study law, but after missing the pre-law deadline, I pivoted to the closest thing I could find which is forensic psychology (a pretty term for psych and law). At first, it felt like a plan B… but it quickly turned into something I genuinely loved. Here’s why I stayed: •
