Drug of Choice

August 21, 2017 Posted in Addiction, anxiety, depression, Mental Health, Suffering, suicide, trauma, Withdrawal

Friends – I would love input on the following… Until recently, I didn’t realize that a drug can be anything you use that: will block pain, suppress pain, or hide the pain. Anything you use, or don’t use, to alter your state of mind, so you don’t think rationally and/or clearly. And it doesn’t have… Continue reading Drug of Choice

I try. I really do. I made myself get out of bed this morning. I made myself get ready to go to work. Then I fell to my knees crying. When you have a medication “cocktail” going on in your brain (Mental Health Genetic Test), there isn’t much to do. Or that you can do.… Continue reading Brain Voices

And I Wonder…

August 20, 2017 Posted in ADHD, bipolar, depression, Fear, MDD, Mental Health, Persevere, suicide

If a star has a soul looking down upon us. If there are sea creatures in the ocean that could sink a cruise ship. If each person did a random act of kindness each day, what the world would be like in one year. Ten years. How far away the nearest alien resides. How to… Continue reading And I Wonder…

Rethink Judgement.

August 19, 2017August 18, 2017 Posted in ADD, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, Crying, depression, faith, Fear, God, Judgement, Kind Heart, Love, Mental Health, mindfulness, Parents, Suffering, suicide

Who are we to judge others when no one is perfect? Sorry to bust your bubble but you aren’t perfect either. If you WERE perfect then you’d be God. Oh my goodness, are you God? Didn’t think so… On my way to work this morning, I saw a woman jogging on the side of the… Continue reading Rethink Judgement.

Fear of What is Next…

August 18, 2017 Posted in ADD, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, counseling, depression, faith, Fear, hope, Mental Health, mindfulness, Persevere, self-discovery, sorrow, Suffering, suicide, trauma

Fear. It can consume you. It can make the world stop until you finish dwelling on that same fear. Only, it doesn’t stop unless you control it. You may share this same struggle with me; the wonder that fills your mind; the question you ask repeatedly, “how can I make the world start again?”. Control.… Continue reading Fear of What is Next…

Love from Within

I was listening to some random track on a random playlist I created years ago. You know, the kind of music you totally forgot about because you’ve been wrapped up in the catchy tunes from today. What I personally forgot is that my taste in music was stellar back in those days. Then it smacked… Continue reading Love from Within

Working with High Functioning Anxiety

August 15, 2017 Posted in ADD, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, DBT, depression, faith, Mental Health, psychosis, sorrow, suicide, trauma4 Comments

Hi friends. I had tried every online suggestion to manage anxiety prior to seeking medication. But the panic attacks. Excessive sweating. Debilitating worrying. The random striking of chest pain always continued. Is it wrong to speak up for this when at work? I feel like there is a fine line between your boss viewing you… Continue reading Working with High Functioning Anxiety

Mindfulness in Depression

Have you ever had a provider say to you “just breathe”…… AGHHGHG. Right? It is more complex than that! Like all my symptoms magically go away when I take a deep breath. If it were that simple then I wouldn’t be sitting in your office… Mastering mindfulness takes time. It took two years until I… Continue reading Mindfulness in Depression

Crying in Public

August 12, 2017 Posted in anxiety, bipolar, Crying, depression, hope, Mental Health, Persevere, psychosis, self-discovery, sorrow, suicide, trauma

Does anyone else struggle with crying in public? I have no problem at ALL crying myself to sleep or in the shower. Both are when I am all alone. However, when I am in public… I will do everything possible to hold that pain in. What I have learned over 30 years is that pain… Continue reading Crying in Public
