今天我的医生对我说,“你知道,你应该很高兴。你应该恢复。”I sometimes question if I do deserve to recover. I'm not proud of some of the things I have done in life. I have not always been the kindest person. I have sometimes ignored people who needed me. I have put my husband and loved ones through years of anguish and fear as I slipped further and further into anorexia nervosa and failed at recovery many times. I have made them cry as they thought that I could possibly die from my eating disorder. I blocked myself off from their fears and pleas, and continued to pursue thinness ruthlessly for years like a person possessed. All of these things make me question my worth and if I deserve to recovery. But there's something more. My doctor, a wonderfully perceptive man even when I sometimes sit silently and dive back into the safety of my thoughts, said I have this space within my brain that allows the eating disorder to tell me that I do not deserve to be happy, healthy, and free. This is so true, and I sometimes want to scream at the voices to stop and leave me alone.

昨天晚上,鲍勃回家后一个星期和他的亲生父亲。它总是一个调整,但昨晚的回归似乎比着更顺利的过去。

我喜欢我的工作。我要写的这是许多作家不要去做。此外,我开始写关于我的事情。也为许多作家一个伟大的奢侈品。这些快乐是绝大多数人得到满足。我有伟大的不满,不过,看到激烈的对那些有心理疾病。讨厌的人出现在这里,在我的博客上和其他地方。患有双相情感障碍的仇恨似乎寻求地方来表达他们的仇恨。但精神疾病的仇恨只是另一个偏见。仇恨的双相情感障碍患者是一样的种族主义和不可接受的。

“抓住希望,继续前进。”Those are the closing words I remember from the last speaker this morning at the NAMI National Convention's education session. All of us in the standing-room-only ballroom were there to honor the various education and support programs that NAMI offers. Consumers, providers, family members and NAMI staffers were invited to offer their stories, and tell how programs like Family-to-Family, NAMI Basics (for families with younger children), In Our Own Voice, Peer-to-Peer and more affected our journeys. Wow. How we all need education. How we all need each other.

庆祝活动和节假日在清醒不是时候,我期待着早期的清醒。但这7月4日,风轻,太阳很温暖,公司充满了笑声,对话,和快乐。能够庆祝一个节日清醒让我充满了感激之情。度假在清醒中,我感觉很好是值得庆祝的事情。

辱骂是用来减少受害者的权利。它是用来麻痹思想和致残的心脏,让受害者感到那么小,一文不值,他们变得依赖只有施虐者。只有施虐者的意见很重要,因为他/她是受害者的幸福和痛苦的关键。令人愉悦的施虐者(避免痛苦)才是首要任务。但滥用并不发生在真空中。受害人必须觉得他们做更多比避免痛苦留在和虐待关系的意义。受害人必须感到一个更高的目标是在工作中合理化他或她参与的关系,使他们恐惧和悲伤。

昨晚,在心理健康和社交媒体》(# mhsm)在Twitter上聊天,话题是求职和工作场所信息披露对于那些心理健康状况。而伊莎贝拉Mori主持讨论的聊天和想出了所有问题,这实际上是一个话题,我选择了。抑郁症披露工作是特别相关的我现在的我的脑海里。

鲍勃逐渐长大,逐渐深入探究了奇怪的世界的朋友和玩伴,我经常发现自己惊讶他常常看起来比他的战友则凡事年轻多了。这是真的我有“庇护”他一点——限制电视/电影/视频游戏PG和老少皆宜的品种选择,密切监督他有时否决他选择的朋友们一起玩。然而,似乎他的“不成熟”比后天更本质的问题。

有时候PTSD是十分干燥。有明显的原因喜欢战斗,飞机失事和车祸。经历就像强奸或目睹死亡也可以是众所周知的原因。当你有症状但不能召回事件可能引发了吗?我们的客人,丹•海斯告诉我们在这一集HealthyPlace心理健康的电视节目。

精神疾病,尤其是在调整期间后第一次接受诊断,可以充满了大量的冲突和心痛。只是加剧的挑战很多发现自己比以往更加孤立和孤独的生活。本周我们的客人,斯蒂芬妮,发现自己在那个地方,前所未有的孤独。
