Trauma leaves lasting wounds, but numbing pain with drugs and alcohol only deepens the suffering. Although self-medication may seem like an escape, it damages the body and creates new chains of dependency. The path to healing is not easy, but it is possible. With therapy, support, and healthier coping mechanisms, people can face their fears, overcome their inner demons, and take back control of their lives.
Stress can play a major role in memory lapses, especially for people living with OCD and trauma. When the mind is overwhelmed by anxiety, daily pressures, or too many competing tasks, it can become harder to focus on intrusive thoughts or compulsions. Preoccupation with other responsibilities may naturally push the urge into the background, allowing it to fade over time. In this way, stress and distraction, although challenging, can sometimes disrupt the cycle of OCD by creating moments where the compulsion is forgotten.

Britain’s strength has always been in its diversity and resilience. Those of us born here, regardless of our heritage or the sound of our names, are as much a part of this country as anyone else. Not all foreigners should be put in the same category. Our policies and attitudes should focus on real issues, such as illegal immigration, while protecting the dignity, safety, and rights of British citizens of all backgrounds.
Social media is not an innocent pastime for children; it is a powerful, addictive force that can shape their self-worth, behaviour, and future in dangerous ways. Without immediate action, more young lives will be damaged or lost, and the cycle of harm will continue unchecked. The responsibility lies with all of us, parents, schools, lawmakers, and tech companies, to act now. Banning phones in schools, enforcing strict age verification, and introducing robust child-safety laws are not optional measures; they are urgent necessities. We cannot afford to wait for another tragedy to spur change. The time to protect our children is today.
How one woman’s journey through grief and hardship led to the creation of two powerful charities – and why her story continues to inspire global change. When we think of JK Rowling, most picture the global Harry Potter phenomenon. But behind the fame is a woman who once lived on state benefits, writing in cafes while caring for a young child as a single mother battling grief after losing her mother to Multiple Sclerosis.
Claimants are not inferior. They are individuals navigating hardship through no fault of their own. The people who work within the DWP and Universal Credit should be trained and reminded that respect is non-negotiable. Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, especially when they’re asking for help, not handouts.
