Psych It's Not Me

This is an article I submitted this morning about mental health that is to be published in an ebook. I hope if nothing else, it helps someone. At age seventeen, I married a narcissist, wife-beating, drug dealer, albeit I didn’t know this when we first married. My father died five months later from three different kinds of cancer. I quickly became an alcoholic to deal with his loss and the depression I was going through. [ 645 more words ]

Thank you media for causing mass hysteria. Not only are you the reason for the Coronavirus blowing out of proportion but you have now caused a Starvation epidemic. By text book definition, the Coronavirus is nothing more than another strand of the common cold/flu. Every year there is a new stand of the flu. As long as you cover the basics like wash your hands, don't touch your face and don't cough on others, you will be fine. [ 261 more words ]

I have battled bipolar disorder all my life with many obstacles. My worst issues have been irritability, depression and spending money along with addictions for 30 years. At one point I was naive and thought I had cured a majority of it through meditation. Meditation and prayer has helped tremendously but there is no such cure, yet. A year before I found out about my pituitary tumor in 2015, I began to have more health issues than normal. [ 152 more words ]

What are you giving up for 40 days and nights? Jesus Christ walked the desert, fasted and prayed after He was baptist by John the Baptist. Satan tested and tempted Jesus but He refused every temptation and returned to Galilee to begin His ministry. This year, Lent is from Wednesday, February 26th thru Thursday, April 9th. Christians between the ages of 14 and 59 fast and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fridays of Lent. [ 57 more words ]

What is the hardest thing you have ever had to forgive? Forgiveness seems to be the most difficult thing in the world to do. How do you forgive someone that has hurt you so bad emotionally? For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction-that our lives had become unmanageable. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. [ 167 more words ]

A disorder affecting the ability to understand speech, in noisy environments, following directions and distinguishing between similar sounds. In 2015, I found out about my pituitary adenoma. My brain has experienced changes that are unpleasant since then. The worst has been in the past year and a half. I am unable to focus with any background noise. Playing the radio or someone talking is hell for me. [ 302 more words ]

I have said many times, if you put 10 people in a room and show them a white wall, they will all see something different. It is all about perception. A few years ago, I had a psychiatrist tell me that, "I had too many options to solve problems." His explanation was, "You are like a Mercedes with parts from a Ford, a Chevrolet, a Toyota, a Jaguar and all sorts of cars made up this Mercedes which is you! [ 247 more words ]

Just A Hug - SOUL MENDS Sometimes in life, we just need a hug... no words, no advice, just a hug to make you feel you matter.

Do you feel someone else's pain and emotions? Eleven years ago, I worked as a manager at a retail store chain. I enjoyed my job until one day a customer made me sick. I was helping a customer when another customer came around the corner and lost her balance. To keep from falling, she grabbed my leg instead of my arm. [ 383 more words ]

Names have been changed to protect the privacy of the underage. A couple years ago, 5 boys age 10-13, broke into the middle school ball field concession stand. Due to the amount of damages and snacks stolen, the total was over $500. Each of the children got a felony charge for what they done. Two of the boys lived in the apartments across from our house.

Do you ever feel like you are living in two separate realities? For example, the life you live day to day and then there is the life that your brain chooses to live inside your mind. Do you ever find yourself daydreaming more than normal at times? Do you find yourself losing touch with reality? When I am depressed I notice that I daydream more than normal. [ 210 more words ]

I have a problem. I am irritable most of the time. I don't like being around other people because of this flaw. I don't like snapping at others and biting their heads off, so to speak. My own family gets on my nerves over the tiniest of things. For example, I fold clothes and put them away. When I return with the next days clothes the previous clothing I placed in drawers are messed up. [ 282 more words ]

Since I began taking the Vraylar a couple months ago, I have had more motivation than I have had in years. It feels great to be able to be motivated and want to get things done during the day. It's like daytime manic and nighttime sleep. After trying so many I'm just happy to have any energy to clean my house instead of sitting around boohooing all day. [ 475 more words ]
