Classroom of Crazy

Welcome to the Classroom of Crazy

Let’s have a quick roll call

Everyone do your signature 

And introduce yourself to all!


Hi! I’m Andy Anxiety,

I tend to overthink a lot

Sometimes I get panic attacks,

Other times, my horse I trot.


Hello, I’m Olive OCD

Most people think I’m all about cleaning,

Some weird super power I possess?

Well it’s mostly just sleeping.


Hey, I’m Debbie Depression,

Some days..I just can’t,

I have to keep a straight face through it all,

In profession, I’m a lieutenant. 


HOWDY! I’M ASTRID ADHD

I might be a little talkative and loud,

It started towards teenage,

Being a National level runner is something that makes me proud!


Hi, I’m Belle Bulimia

I look for comfort in my food,

As a child I got ‘bullied’ a lot

And I like dancing to Bollywood!


Hello, I’m Polly PTSD,

I’m hypervigilant and flashback prone,

People think I have zero interests

But I’m fond of painting stones!


Hie, I’m Bob Bipolar

My brain has severe mood swings,

AAAAA SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

I love my guitar and it’s strings.


Hi..I’m Sally Social Anxiety,

Uh..I get jitters to speak up,

I’m not very fond of social scenes,

But I’m a vet and have a pup..


That was an excellent introduction Everybody!

Thank you for the disclose

Let’s begin our first lecture,

Olive, Don’t doze!


Hey everyone!
Welcome back to month 32 of #faltufriday!

I've been meaning to write this poem for over 2 years and finally had the chance to.
I really hope you all enjoyed reading it.

A couple pointers about it:

  • The term 'crazy', has been used ironically as a lot of people tend to associate mental illnesses with the word.
  • The purpose of this poem was to communicate that someone with a Mental Illness is not just confined to that word. Everyone has something unique to themselves apart from suffering from an illness so we shouldn't base our impression of the person on the basis of the same.

    Please check out my other works of poetry: Here!

    Don't forget to share and comment for more content, every friday!
Signing off,
Kuhu :)

Starting High School

  Heyy!  So, most of you are either in high school or nearing it. I started 9 th grade in June amidst a global pandemic! Of course, it hasn’t been easy but what made it worse was the great pressure that came. Schools closed down in march but if you’re an Indian reading this, chances are, your tuition's had started in mid-April.   I was completely overwhelmed with the entire process of the transition. Where we used to have hardly 3 chapters a subject for school now, we got 15 page long 8 chapters each term! To top it off, the 1 st term portion comes in the other terms too! Now I’m not trying to scare you but just want to share my experience on how I felt and how I overcame the overwhelming feeling. So initially, I had a hard time coping up with the stress. I had received terrible reviews from my seniors about 9 th grade. In early April I had received my books and naturally I was very excited to read and go through them. I was 3 pages into my physics textbook then it hit me. I WAS

Teacher Cyber-bullying

-

  Something that has become prevalent now more than ever; a nother type of cyber-bullying, ‘teacher bullying’ is literally the act of teasing them online.   We all know that social media urges people to act impulsively online. A lot of people make accounts by their teachers’ name or post their pictures online or make ‘memes’ out of them. It might make you laugh or might feel relatable but you need to know when to draw the line. There are some which are simply offensive and cannot be tolerated at any cost. How can you stop? STOP POSTING VIDEOS OF THEM WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION! Stop posting their pictures on your story with weird filters and stuff because it's RUDE!    Probably show them SOME respect? I don’t think its so hard. They’re working on a platform completely new to them to teach YOU and they are trying their best. It is disappointing to see how we treat them after what they do to help us.   Try putting yourself in their shoes. They just want what’s best for us and it’s

(famous) Animated films x Life Lessons

-

 I have been a movie buff for as long as I can remember. My 2 favourite categories: Bollywood and Animation. Now in the past, I've authored multiple posts on Bollywood (check them out here! ) but I realised, I've never written one on the latter! Animated films formed the crux of my childhood. While as a kid I absolutely loved the visuals and music, it was only when I became a teen and started to realise the depth behind each film. Animated films are NOT kid films. They're so much more than that. And when I realised this, I thought, why not write a blog on it, hmm? So, here are my favourite animated films which I beg you to watch at least once in your life! Number 1: The Kung Fu Panda series Po is the goofball you absolutely need in your life. The writers neither missed the comedic timing of his antics nor the subtle life lessons exuded through each of the films. It teaches you to believe in yourself. Yes you can be a panda and a dragon warrior in the same go. Yes, you can f

The "Therapist Friend"

-

 Hello and welcome back everyone! HAPPY 100TH POST!! A lot of us may have come across the term "Therapist Friend" of a group. The stereotypical description of the same would look something like this: The quiet, calm, cool and collected one with the best advise whom anyone can approach for the minutest of inconveniences. A good listener is the basic trait possessed by them.  However, the fact still lies that most people misuse the term 'Therapist Friend.' A few months ago, I had authored a post titled ' Facebook Therapy Memes ' which led to this topic.      It was also suggested by a reader of my blogs and I found it to be extremely insightful considering it's high misuse, so I decided to throw a bit of limelight on the same. Without further ado, let's get to it. The phrase 'Therapist Friend', I believe, is a wrong term.  This is simply just my opinion but let me justify why. There is a significant mixing up of the term 'Friend' and a &#
