The “perilous” story, and perhaps its link to her illness, stayed with Wharton for years. ![]() But “with my intense Celtic sense of the super-natural, tales of robbers & ghosts were perilous reading.” She relapsed, and when she woke, “it was to enter a world haunted by formless horrors.” “To an unimaginative child the tale would no doubt have been harmless,” she wrote. ![]() The book she acquired was a “robber-story,” and it sent Wharton into an unexpected panic. Her mother was particular about reading material-Wharton had to ask for permission to read novels until her marriage, in 1885-but on this occasion she got the goods. “During my convalescence, my one prayer was to be allowed to read,” she wrote in “Life & I,” an autobiography that was published posthumously.

Their goal is to redefine this world to reflect the endless possibilities that characterize America. Those individuals discuss the false conventionality of society and the dangerous world of shock treatments and conformity in which they found themselves.

All you can do is stop interacting with them, stop listening to them. Parents also like to have a way to free themselves from their relentless stream of consciousness. Mindfulness-or deliberate, friendly attention-is beneficial not only for children. Although simple, the exercise really helps you get out of your head and into your belly-where your thoughts cannot get to you, where all is quiet and calm. My daughter is twenty-one now and still does the exercise. There were no thoughts in her belly, only her breath, which moved her belly with its gentle rise and fall. But then I realized that if she paid less heed to the troublesome thoughts that kept popping into her head and slowly shifted her attention from her head down to her belly, she might finally calm down. ![]() ![]() Relaxation exercises, bedtime stories, a hot bath, an irritable admonition to "go to sleep like everyone else"-nothing worked. She kept getting out of bed, kept awake by all the crazy thoughts that were churning around in her head: about Tim, who did not want to play with her anymore about the goldfish floating belly-up in its bowl about somebody under the bed who was sure to murder her.

At the age of five, my daughter had trouble falling asleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() Khakpour’s post-collegiate life brought with it a series of difficult, sometimes-abusive relationships, graduate school at Johns Hopkins, psychotropic drugs to control anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders, severe health problems initially diagnosed as autoimmune disorders, and “a seesaw of struggling to survive in New York and then running home to LA and then escaping back to New York.” Her life stabilized for a short time after she accepted a temporary position at Bucknell University. In addition to her experimentation with drugs, the author endured harrowing experiences with sexual assault and depression. ![]() ![]() In college, Khakpour, who had long been fascinated by the “altered states” that drugs could produce, began a “casual relationship” with cocaine and cultivated the “heroin chic” look fashionable during the 1990s. As she grew into adolescence, she writes, “everything about my body felt wrong,” and her feelings of dysmorphia remained one of the constants in an often chaotic life. A child of the Iranian Revolution, her earliest memories were of “pure anxiety.” She survived the trauma of living in a war zone and moved from Tehran to Los Angeles. Physical and mental pain had always defined Khakpour’s ( The Last Illusion, 2014, etc.) life. ![]() A distinguished Iranian-born writer and creative writing professor’s memoir of her struggle with trauma, drug addiction, mental illness, and late-stage Lyme disease. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sole-authored refereed journal article.Ģ019. “Color and Conflict in Nineteenth-Century Île Bourbon: the Case of the Affaire Houat.” Dix-Neuf: Journal of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes (24.1: 1-16).
