TITLE: Drinking to cope with stress may permanently rewire your brain

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260626030437.htm

Using alcohol to cope with stress when young may permanently alter the brain, making it harder to adapt to challenges and increasing the risk of returning to drinking later in life. Researchers also found signs of brain damage associated with early dementia, suggesting the effects can linger long after alcohol use has stopped.

All That I Might, a poem

Morning comes.
Here i lie,
To myself,
About my day.

I'll get things done,
I have a plan.
To achieve,
What i may.

But I'm pretty clear,
With honesty,
I wont do
All that i plan.

Ill end my day,
Wishing hard
That i had
Taken command.

Perhaps i will
Pretend to
Go back in time
And do it right.

Start again 
Right now, here,
Get up. Achieve
All that I might.

**God is the emotional anesthesia humans use to tolerate chaos.**
When the world feels unbearable, people invent a cosmic parent to soothe the panic. It’s comfort, not cosmology.

Hi, I (Allēna) am back in front and low-key panicking…

I know that the people who know me will probably be like “what else is new” but I’ve honestly been so hung up on the fact that it’s been ten years since Xavier died this month that I forgot that all of the albums that I wrote and recorded in the wake of losing him will also be turning 10 as well until I saw a video of my Painter Guy headmate playing my arrangement of “Heroes” by David Bowie on a piano he found in the hospital we go to??? So that’s kinda fucking me up.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUvyJXxl9de/?igsh=MWFlYTdtcTY4MnJkZQ==

I honestly didn’t think I would live this long. I know a lot of people when I was 18-19 certainly didn’t think I would live this long (I was a hot fuckin mess and it took me years to get out of that tailspin) so while I’m none too happy about having to figure out how to promote a metric fuckton of albums on what is soon to be the ten year anniversary of their release, I am also trying to be compassionate toward tiny grieving past Lēna and keep in mind that I didn’t have a blessed clue that I would live to see 28-29, my depression was so goddamn bad and I was constantly trying to blot myself off the face of the Earth and writing albums instead of doing worse dumb shit. As badly as I want to go back and kick Past Lēna and to some extent, Past Eight in the ‘nads for writing and recording music like they were running out of time in 2016-17, they really didn’t know what the fuck else to do and had just lost Xavier. So I can’t really be all that angry. That being said, a bitch is fucking tired and I don’t have anything close to a promotion strategy for any of this shit. I don’t even have regular access to a piano anymore.

So yeah. There is all of that to contend with.

Wish me mother fucking luck.

-Allēna

Panmodal Aphantasia is not a shield. It is a structural vulnerability that guarantees a divergent form of suffering.
It defies the purpose of a coping mechanism because it amplifies pressure.
It defies the purpose of a defense mechanism because it enforces exposure.
To call #aphantasia an advantage is to mistake the inability to scream for the absence of pain. https://open.substack.com/pub/cristinagherghel/p/the-failed-kiss?r=6bmg7x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false#MentalHealthResearch #SomaticTherapy #CopingMechanisms

This doesn't apply just to kids! What does your own adult version of the stress response look like? How do you feel about your instinctive reaction to stress? Does it work well for you?

The most challenging part is the intense sadness that overwhelms me! It's like a searing, burning pain in the center of my chest, spreading outwards and making it hard to concentrate on anything else. #MentalHealth #EmotionalPain #CopingMechanisms #HealingJourney

Many should try to stay away from their traumas but also learn how to deal with them through situational conditioning and be able to focus the upset without spiraling and be able to direct it in a healthy way

Coping mechanisms help every party except the abuser

If someone is purposely hurting you can focus that right back at them
