So we often turn to dangerous quick fixes that only exacerbate the problem - like overeating and drug and alcohol abuse - or we deny that we have problems at all. What's worse is that many of us have been raised to believe we are Strong Black Women and that seeking help shows weakness. Thousands of Black women suffer from anxiety. What do these women have in common? They are struggling with crippling anxiety disorders. She's beginning to think she shouldn't leave her house.īernice hasn't slept in two months for fear that the witch is going to ride her again. When she has to do it, her chest thumps, her heart starts racing, and she breaks out in a sweat. Ruth will drive an hour out of her way to avoid driving over a bridge. She's convinced something bad is going to happen. ![]() ![]() Do you or someone you love suffer from "bad nerves"?ĭenise is constantly on edge. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments Delusions of gender book![]() ![]() ![]() The neuroscience that we read about in magazines, newspaper articles, books, and sometimes even scientific journals increasingly tells a tale of two brains, and the result is more often than not a validation of the status quo. And everywhere we hear about vitally important “hardwired” differences between male and female brains. Even though the glass ceiling is cracked, most women stay comfortably beneath it. It’s the twenty-first century, and although we tried to rear unisex children―boys who play with dolls and girls who like trucks―we failed. A brilliantly researched and wickedly funny rebuttal of the pseudo-scientific claim that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. She believed she knew every horror and was beyond surprise. Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old. Laini Taylor has crafted another great novel and I’m looking forward to the follow up! I really enjoyed reading Strange the Dreamer and couldn’t put it down. ![]() Strange the Dreamer was an amazing novel filled with great world building, characters and a captivating plot. ![]() How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real? The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries-including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving? Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around-and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly.
