RESPECT

I know and feel I am calm

Don’t see me as though a balm

Always I stick to avoid the insult

Same ways the avoidance you consult

Grey hairs needs approach to the picture

Whatever you give you get the mixture

The backbone is suggested

By what need to be digested

I have known heads

Countless of them don’t abide by the trend

For fruitful harvest we water the beds

The children with that will learn to blend

LOVE

How beautiful it is to behold

So sweet it is never to be told

Like rays of sunlight it unravels

Just like the flowing stream so it travels

It is most times juicy but sometimes the opposite

The approach to it takes one down and up exit

It bridles existence sequentially

If it is not tagged on to financially

I know its name

We know its fame

It naturally comes from above

It is appreciated for it is love

PEN MAGICIAN

As water flows into the deep

So does muse run in me

Like a baby suckling the mother’s breast

I derive joy making lines with the ink

Amidst friendly conversations                

I laugh and smile

Yet unknown to them

The inspirational bug has attacked

Line creators of imaginations

I belong to that community

We’re of one specie

Poetry runs in our veins

My lips stagger to voice

My bleeding pen gives an outcry

As an opportunist in colour and size

To the globe a great town crier

The wand exceedingly magical

Sings praises in my ode

Wails deeply in my elegy

Criticizes in my satire

Admonishes in my ballad

Strikes the gist in my epic

In that river of creativity

My pen dives in productivity

It sings, tells and acts for the goddess

I have a sword that wins wars

Eulogize the pen magician with accolade

Acclaim the being who creates with words

SELF AGREEMENT

That which I love doing

Difficult for me to make a step

The passion lies deep in me

But the zeal is far fetched

So many things on my mind

Think of family, friends and future

Distractions the name for it

Greatness has been my dream

Admiring people in the likes of Adichie

Odinaka as a mirror of the Chimamanda

Forgetting that it took them a lot to arrive

The journey I think should begin

With me conquering pessimism

Determined to get out of my shell

Since they can make it then I too can

That burning desire

I need to acquire

The muse of self-realization

I call for self-actualization

Understanding Drug Abuse

by Leave a Comment

What is drug abuse?

Drug abuse is the use of illegal drugs or the use of prescription or over-the-counter medications in ways other than recommended or intended. It also includes intentional inhalation of household or industrial chemicals for their mind-altering effects. Tobacco use and problem drinking are sometimes included in the definition of drug abuse. Chemical abuse and substance abuse are terms sometimes used interchangeably with the term drug abuse, or they may be used to refer to a combination of drug abuse and tobacco use or problem drinking.

Many drugs that are abused are also addictive; they cause cravings and a continued desire to use them despite negative consequences. Drug abuse can start in childhood and continue in adulthood. Studies of high school students indicate that approximately 42% drink alcohol, 21% use marijuana, and 3% use cocaine. Approximately 12% have used inhalants, and 20% have abused prescription drugs (Source: CDC).

People who abuse drugs may take them initially out of curiosity, to escape, to feel good, due to peer pressure, or for a variety of other reasons. Drugs can affect a number of different organs, and complications can result from damage to the brain or to other parts of the body. Other negative consequences often result from the effects drugs have on a person’s mind, as well as actions an individual may take while under their influence.

Treatment can be on an inpatient or outpatient basis, depending on the drug being abused, whether addiction is present, and whether there are coexisting health or psychological problems. Supervised withdrawal, also called detoxification (or detox), may be necessary if physical symptoms are common when the drug is stopped. Medications may be used to decrease cravings, counteract the effects of the drug, or to cause unpleasant reactions if the drug is used. Behavioral therapy is commonly an important part of treatment, providing skills, helping change attitudes and behaviors, and helping maintain recovery.

Drug abuse can have serious, even life-threatening, complications, such as drug overdose, alcohol poisoning, trauma, and suicidal or violent behavior. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) for serious symptoms, including threatening, irrational or suicidal behavior; serious injury; respiratory or breathing problems; rapid, slow or absent pulse; chest pain or tightness; persistent vomiting; cold, clammy, or hot, dry skin; severe abdominal pain; seizure; or confusion or loss of consciousness for even a brief moment.

Seek prompt medical care if you think you might have a problem with drugs.

What are the symptoms of drug abuse?

Symptoms of drug abuse include those of intoxication and those related to unfulfilled responsibilities and the social consequences of drug use.

Common symptoms of drug abuse

Drug abuse can cause problems in interpersonal relationships, at home, on the job, and with the law. Symptoms of drug abuse related to these problems include:

  • Craving the drug despite difficulties obtaining it or wanting to quit
  • Deterioration of relationships
  • Deterioration of school or work performance
  • Difficulty holding a job
  • Disengagement from non–drug-related activities
  • Financial problems
  • High-risk sexual behavior
  • Increasing time spent thinking about, obtaining, using, and recovering from the drug
  • Leaving responsibilities unfulfilled
  • Legal problems
  • Needing higher doses to get the same effect (tolerance)
  • Using a drug to avoid its withdrawal symptoms
  • Using drugs before or during activities where safety is a concern

Common symptoms of drug intoxication

Drug use can lead to symptoms of intoxication including:

  • Balance problems, difficulty walking, and falls
  • Change in mental status
  • Changes in mood, personality or behavior
  • Diminished reflexes
  • Drowsiness or excessive energy
  • Impaired balance and coordination
  • Impaired judgment and memory
  • Impaired vision
  • Nausea with or without vomiting
  • Pupil size changes
  • Slurred speech; excessive talking

Serious symptoms that might indicate a life-threatening condition

In some cases, drug abuse can be life threatening. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have any of these life-threatening symptoms including:

Being a danger to oneself or others, including threatening, irrational, or suicidal behavior

Overdose symptoms, such as rapid or slow pulse; respiratory or breathing problems, such as shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, labored breathing, wheezing, not breathing, choking; abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea; cool and clammy skin or hot skin; sleepiness, chest pain, confusion or loss of consciousness for even a brief moment

Trauma, such as bone deformity, burns, eye injuries, and other injuries

What causes drug abuse?

The cause of drug abuse is not known, nor is it understood why some people can abuse drugs briefly and stop without difficulty, whereas others continue using drugs despite undesirable consequences. Biological factors, such as genetics and the presence of other psychiatric disorders, may play a role, as may environmental factors, such as peer pressure, history of abuse, and stress, and developmental factors, such as the timing of drug exposure.

What are the risk factors for drug abuse?

A number of factors increase a person’s risk of abusing drugs. Not all people with risk factors will abuse drugs. Risk factors for drug abuse include:

  • Anxiety disorders or depression
  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Early drug use
  • Lack of parental supervision
  • Male gender
  • Parental substance abuse
  • Peer pressure
  • Personality disorders, such as antisocial behavioral disorder or borderline personality disorder
  • Physical or sexual abuse
  • Poor family communication or bonding
  • Stress

How is drug abuse treated?

The goals of drug abuse treatment are aimed at stopping drug-seeking and use, preventing complications of drug withdrawal, rehabilitation, maintaining abstinence, and preventing relapse. Treatment depends on the drug being abused, whether addiction is present, and whether there are coexisting health or psychological problems.

What are the potential complications of drug abuse?

Complications of untreated drug abuse can be serious, even life threatening in some cases. You can help minimize your risk of serious complications by following the treatment plan you and your health care professional design specifically for you. Complications of drug abuse include:

  • Brain damage, memory loss, attention difficulties, and impaired judgment
  • Cancer
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Hepatitis, HIV and AIDS, and other infectious diseases
  • Legal, academic, work and social problems
  • Liver, lung or kidney disease
  • Malnutrition
  • Psychological changes, including aggression, paranoia, depression and hallucinations
  • Respiratory arrest
  • Stroke
  • Stupor or coma

Withdrawal symptoms

Drug abuse can affect your sexual performance, even after years of abstaining from drugs. Understanding the potential consequences of drug abuse might be just the thing to encourage you to get treatment before your situation becomes severe. Ongoing drug abuse can result in difficulties with your sexual performance and your reproductive system, whether you are male or female. These difficulties can set in no matter how old you are, and in fact many problems are commonly reported among young adults.

Drug Abuse and Sexual Performance

Although alcohol is the number one drug responsible for damaging sexual performance, drugs such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and more can also have a detrimental effect. It was once believed that after men stop drug abuse, they are able to regain their former level of sexual performance, but researchers have recently discovered that this may not be the case.

According to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 36.4% of male drug abusers reported erectile dysfunction, or the inability to achieve or maintain an erection. The study suggested that men who engage in drug abuse have increased odds of experiencing erectile dysfunction and a more difficult time achieving orgasm. It’s a common misconception that cocaine acts as an aphrodisiac, because it can actually link to problems with ejaculation.

Drug Abuse and the Male Reproductive System

Drug abuse can hamper your immune system, which can make you more susceptible to contracting sexually transmitted infections. Intravenous drug abuse also increases your risks for becoming infected. In some cases, drug abuse may even lead to shrinkage in the testes. This occurs because of the effects of drug abuse on your endocrine system, which leads to fluctuating hormones and can result in fertility issues such as decreased sperm counts and low-mobility sperm. Some men also report enlarged breasts and weight gain as a response to hormonal changes due to drug abuse.

Because drug abuse also inhibits your ability to make rational decisions, it can lead to risky sexual behavior. This could also result in a sexually transmitted infection, which could lead to ongoing problems with sexual performance and reproductive health.

Sexual Performance and Recovery

Unfortunately, drug abuse can have a lasting effect on your sexual performance, but continued treatment and sobriety can, over time, improve the situation. During recovery you can address some of your physical and psychological challenges related to drug abuse and sexual dysfunction. Trained professionals can help you find the tools you need to enter a life of recovery.

If you or someone you love is suffering from the effects of alcohol abuse, substance addiction or any other type of addiction, please call us today.  Our addiction treatment counselors can help you deal with physical, emotional and psychological consequences of drug and alcohol abuse.  A substance abuse treatment program is effective, safe and has helped many men reclaim their lives. Destination Hope is a full service drug, alcohol and dual diagnosis treatment facility in Florida for men suffering from substance abuse and mental health issues.

Common treatments for drug abuse

  • Treatment of drug abuse is often an extended process involving multiple components including:
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy to work on thought patterns and behavior
  • Family therapy to help the family understand the problem and to avoid enabling drug use
  • Identification and treatment of coexisting conditions
  • Medications to decrease cravings, block withdrawal symptoms, counteract drug effects, or to cause unpleasant side effects if a drug is used
  • Motivational incentives to reinforce abstinence
  • Motivational interviewing to utilize a person’s readiness to change behaviors
  • Rehabilitation to assist those with severe addiction or coexisting mental illness through the initial stages of quitting
  • Supervised withdrawal (detoxification) to prevent, recognize and treat physical symptoms of withdrawal
  • Support groups

Came for sex but trapped with love and value

by 1 Comment

It was as if all the men in my life perceived me as sexually attractive, none had the intention of having me as his wife or fiancé.

This had been happening for a long time, such that any one I accept, after sleeping with me, will leave me for another. Most of them will spend, care and will be consistent in their doings just to have me on the bed, after which they will see no other reason to keep on hanging with me except for sex.

I had been seeing it as normal, believing it as the way men behave until the last man that I fell deeply in love with.

My attitude towards him was very strict because of my experience with men but he was determined and he helped me in so many ways. I am actually not the working type, I prefer staying at home and helping any man in his house, having sex and cooking for him. Going out to work, is not really my thing.

This last man really got to me with his care and I fell for him like I never did before. On a Friday, he invited me to come over after how many months of my refusal, I agreed to go, at least to spend a night. I had it in mind that I will not have sex with him.

That day, I arrived his house which was well-furnished and comfortable. We ate together, watched movies and when it was time to sleep, I told him I want to sleep on the couch. He refused, promised not to touch me, and told me to give him a chance. He was persistent and convinced me to follow him to the room. He bade he goodnight and faced the other side.

The room was cold due to the air-conditioning and later that night, I woke up and told him to switch off the AC. However, I was shaking with cold.

He covered me with the duvet and caressed me in the process. One thing led to another and we had sex.

I really enjoyed the night. In the morning, he woke me up and we ate breakfast together. He asked me if I am going, I told him no, but he insisted I go because he was expecting some of his male friends. However, he promised to call me.

I left and was expecting his call, he never called and when I call after that day, he told me he would call me whenever he needs me. This was my experience with men, some of who would be with me for months just for sex.

I was in love with this last person, and I almost killed myself. Out of despair, I made a post detailing how I was feeling on my Facebook page. Someone referred me to www.thesolacezone.com, where I got access to a counselor who helped me.

I booked for a session and which was an eye-opener as it enabled me discover a lot about myself. I decided to hire that counsellor as my personal counsellor, and over several sessions, I developed self-esteem and stopped feeling depressed.

I discovered so many things that I was not doing well, things that I neglected, one statement from the counsellor I will always remember is that, “The only way to change people’s attitude towards you is to change your attitude towards them”.

He actually made me to understand that I have a lot to offer other than sex, which was my initial mindset.

I began to add value to myself. I acquired training in fashion design, got a job and became very busy.

One day, this last man called me, and asked me to come over. He had been calling me before, but following my counsellor’s advice, a made a decision not to visit him at home.

I invited him to my place of work where he saw how busy I was. I bought food for him and spent some time with him. He seemed happy and left after some time.

Since then, he frequently always came around to see how I am doing. However, as agreed with my counselor, I never visited him.

On his birthday, my counselor told me to surprise him, I didn’t even go to his house. I invited him over to my working place, where I surprised him with a celebration. As we were together, a girl called him and he left. I was tempted to be angry and I blamed myself for not going to his house.

My counselor will always tell me to calm down for the journey is not the type that needs rush.

We stopped talking for like a week, it was as if I was losing interest in him.

To cut my story short, on my birthday, he proposed to me with a brand new car. He told me that among all his female friends, I was the one he felt would make him a better man. He was enamored with me because I was independent and caring.

We have been together from that day till now, all thanks to my counselor. I never saw my ability to cope and to change my thoughts and attitude until I was led through the process of Counselling.

How Does Sex Affect Your Mental Health??

by Leave a Comment

Masturbation can improve mental health/self-esteem

BDSM correlates with mental health

Depression can decrease your sex drive

OCD can correlate with hyper-sexuality

Casual sex can impact your mental health

Sex can ease depressive symptoms

Sex can ease anxiety symptoms

______________

Sex and mental health   a rich topic because of how directly correlated they are to each other. We see articles one day touting how sex can improve our mental health, claiming regular sex to be the cure for everything from depression to diabetes. And then the next day, seeing articles warning against sex destroying our mental health, calling too much sex taxing on our bodies and our minds.

It’s a topic often discussed because both sex and mental health are such personal topics to the individual. They are still considered taboo areas of conversation and are still not often discussed openly and honestly amongst friends or family. But we will all at some point experience sex and how it will impact our mental health. Whether the impact is negatively or positively felt depends on how much we understand the relationship we have with sex. And to understand this relationship, here are seven different ways sex and mental health relate to each other!

1. Masturbation can improve mental health/self-esteem

Masturbation is still a taboo topic. We can see just how taboo it still is by seeing how controversial it is to discuss masturbation in sex education classes for students. And yet masturbation is not only a normal part of our sex drives, it is also a healthy manifestation of it. Masturbation helps release stress, allows us to get in touch with our bodies, and to feel pleasure without any risk of disease or pregnancy.

For women in particular, studies have shown masturbation encourages body acceptance and fosters a more open mindset for new experiences. Girls who are shamed for seeking sexual pleasure on their own grow up into women who are too shy and uncomfortable with their own bodies to explore themselves sexually. The more comfortable women feel in their own bodies, the better they can advocate for those bodies. They can better communicate to their partners what they like or don’t like in the bedroom. Masturbation helps women get to know their bodies at a literally more intimate level, helping them feel more comfortable in themselves, which in turn also makes them better partners.

2. BDSM correlates with mental health

Gone are the old days of people classifying BDSM as some kind of sexual deviancy that could point to some kind of mental disorder. BDSM has become downright mainstream, being featured prominently in movies and TV shows. But it’s not just the relaxing of social norms that has allowed BDSM to take a more central spot in the world’s sexual stage. The understanding of BDSM and its participants has broadened and deepened over the years.

In a study released by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the fundamental psychological characteristics of BDSM practitioners were compared against a control group. The results were quite surprising.

BDSM practitioners were shown to be less neurotic than their control group counterparts. They were more extroverted, more open to new experiences, more conscientious, and had higher subjective well-being.

A large part of these qualities come from the very nature of participating in a respectful and responsible BDSM scenario. BDSM can be dangerous if partners are not upfront and honest about their boundaries and desires. In a responsible BDSM setting, each partner must communicate clearly and develop a sense of trust before they engage in any sexual activity. This fosters a sense of openness and honesty much faster than perhaps is found in traditional, ‘vanilla’ scenarios.

3. Depression can decrease your sex drive

Depression is a condition that can affect every aspect of your life. From how you eat to how you sleep to how your sex drive functions, depression is known for throwing everything out of whack. Studies have shown a loss of libido in 25%-75% of depressed patients, with its prevalence being correlated with the severity of depression. Disorders of arousal also appear to be common amongst both men and women with approximately 25% of depressed patients reporting problems with erections or lubrications.

But it’s not just depression itself that can decrease sex drive. Often, a side effect of antidepressant medication is a decrease in sex drive. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the most widely prescribed medication and have significant effects on arousal and orgasm. This decrease in sex drive is often the leading reason for premature discontinuation of drug treatment for many patients. But more varied options are coming out now. There are many antidepressant drugs that are being released that instead target norepinephrine, dopamine, and melatonin systems which cause less sexual dysfunction in patients.

But it’s important to remember, depression isn’t something one can overcome in a night. It is a condition that must be diligently worked through with some kind of combination of medication and talk therapy for several weeks to months. As frustrating as some of the side effects of antidepressants may be, it is important to keep with the regiment your doctor and/or therapist sets for you.

4. OCD can correlate with hyper-sexuality

Compulsive sexual behavior disorder is an impulse-control disorder. CSBD therefore shares clinical features with obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders and other behavioral addictions (compulsive shopping, pathological gambling, kleptomania, etc). Studies have shown that a substantive number of OCD sufferers also suffered from CSBD. Usually this overlap was found more in men than women with the severity of the OCD correlating with the likelihood of also suffering from CSBD.

Both disorders can be managed with medication and therapy. Through help and support, it can be possible to learn to maintain a healthy and normal sex life even with impulse-control disorders.

5. Casual sex can impact your mental health

If we were to judge casual sex simply based on movies and TV, we’d never come to an ultimate conclusion on whether it was a good or bad thing. In some spaces, it is portrayed as empowering and freeing while on other platforms, it is shown to be something dangerous and damaging. So which is it?

Well, studies have shown that our mindset is what dictates how positive or negative casual sex can be. When people engage in casual sex for autonomous motives (e.g., I want the fun and enjoyment; I want to explore my sexuality), they tend to walk away from the experience happier and with higher signs of self-esteem. But when people engage in casual sex for non-autonomous motives (e.g. I want to please someone else; I want to escape something unpleasant), researchers have found that these people walk away from the encounter with lower self-esteem and signs of depression.

Therefore, agency, or lack thereof, has been found to be one of the most important factors in how casual sex can be interpreted and experienced for a person. So before you go out for that hook up or that fling, make sure that you are in the right headspace and mindset to engage in that act!

6. Sex can ease depressive symptoms

It may seem ironic after learning about the lowering of our sex drives in depressive states but it’s true that sex and intimacy can ease depressive symptoms. In fact, simple physical intimacy–intimate touching without engaging all the way to sex–can help ease depressive symptoms.

When we are depressed, we are at a chemical imbalance that leads to low moods. Studies have shown that physical intimacy can help, if just temporarily, spike up our serotonin and oxytocin levels. And the greater the relational intimacy, the better it can also help any sexual dysfunction we might be experiencing due to depression as well.

Science is essentially backing up what therapists have been telling their patients–you don’t have to do this alone. Let the people around you help.

7. Sex can ease anxiety symptoms

Just like sex can help with depressive symptoms, sex can also help with anxiety symptoms. Not only does sex increase our serotonin levels, sex can also help lower cortisol levels, our stress hormone. It also releases the hormone prolactin which is what makes us relaxed and sleepy after sex. Anxiety is our body just running on adrenaline and stress. Sex can help us unpack that energy, letting our body release the tension and stress in a fun and enjoyable way!

Sex is a deeply intimate, personal, and primal need in all of us. But so is our search for balanced mental health. We are all trying to figure ourselves out, understand our moods and our anxieties. Sex and mental health are intrinsically linked and the better we understand how they are linked, the better we can enjoy healthier, happier sex and mental states!
