I decided to get a bit personal with this submission by using it to highlight the highs and lows of being an individual who struggles with their mental health; specifically, an individual who struggles with a \u201cCluster B\u201d personality disorder. I wanted to take an image that could tell two different stories and figured that by starting with the crop and then showing the full image it would lend itself better to the story that I was trying to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png 350w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5-300x256.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jo Charles &#8220;Sad Man&#8221;, edited stock photo. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From this image, we see that the man is distraught.

Now we have the full picture and the full story: While one friend is celebrating a win, the other friend is distraught. Now how does this relate to mental health? For many of us, a team losing a game would not cause us to become this distraught, but what about what\u2019s lurking beneath the surface? For those of us who suffer from \u201cCluster B\u201d personality disorders, we are used to being told that we \u201cmake mountains out of molehills.\u201d That our reactions to seemingly low-stakes situations aren\u2019t normal, neglecting the fact that we often cannot control our reactions to these situations. That our \u201csplitting\u201d is a result of poorly managed distress and our attempts to self-soothe when faced with that distress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many before me, my search for a photo started by wading through collections of stock photos to find one that I believed could be a proper use of the cropping tool and one that tells a compelling story.
