Mental health support in this country is shockingly bad. We should honestly be ashamed of ourselves.

Chad Lawson said in 2 minutes what I write a lot about-the Narratives we add to situations. New blog post coming tomorrow- not directly related to this, though. #CalmItDown #AlignWithLove #Philosophy #MentalHealh #MentalWellness

One of the side effects of the ADHD medication I take is that I forget that food is required for being alive. Sometimes until I find myself cranky beyond belief.
I just had to emergency food myself cos I was about to pull the lever that crashes the moon into Florida.

#Medium readers... If your family history feels like a knot of secrets & pain, you’re not alone.
I’m an autistic elder born in 1953. That's 7 decades of American history twisting my own neurodivergent family. Here's one refuge I found...
Check out ‘Slouching toward Montauk’ and see if it lands for you: text, illustrations, video, and podcast in one place.
American history… is complex. Never more glaringly obvious than this moment.
American family histories are twisted, braided, intertwined… sometimes strangled by that history.
This piece offers no fixes or safe moves. But it sheds a kind of light… a kind of refuge….
If you watch, I’d love to know: does any part of this echo in your own family story?

“I can say that I've already seen it take a huge toll on the community and the people in my circle who are heartbroken to lose this service,” said Cassie Tenorio, the LGBTQ wellness and connection coordinator for Harbor, a northwest Ohio-based behavioral healthcare services provider.Tenorio emphasized the heightened vulnerability of LGBTQ+ youth to mental health issues, calling the termination of the helpline a significant setback.
“We do need a specialized service for the queer community. It is so essential that the issues they're facing are taken seriously. Their mental health has higher risks of decline than a lot of other populations, and to lose this helpline is going to hurt a lot of people," Tenorio said.
"According to Harbor, the specialized option on the national 988 Lifeline has received more than 10.5 million calls since its launch in 2022."

Just finished reading 'Unwinding anxiety ' by Judson Brewer. I highly recommend the book, especially now. It is extremely practical and gave me a much better grip on my thinking habits. On top, the ideas developed in the book apply equally to other habit loops we get stuck into.

#mentalhealh care in the US is like some third world country. We allow people who don't have the ability to care for themselves to wander the streets. As a first responder if I came to a child who was injured and they didn't want any help, despite serious injury, and I left them because they said they didn't want help. The public would be outraged and I'd probably be in jail. But we view mental illness differently. Even though their capacity/judgment may be worse than the child's.

#Fluoride Exposure: #Neurodevelopment& #Cognition NTP monograph concluded that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing > 1.5 mg of #fluoride per liter are associated w lower IQ in children. The NTP review was designed to evaluate total fluoride exposure from all sources and was not designed to evaluate health effects of fluoridated drinking water alone. It is important to note, however, #publishealth #water #toxicity #cleanwater #mentalhealh https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/assessments/noncancer/completed/fluoride

Sometimes I like to skip my meds just to feel like the ‘old me’ again 😎

Hoping that my toubib (doctor) listens to me today & takes in to consideration the advice of the psychiatric nurse I spoke to yesterday & changes my anxiety medication. She's a bit of a tough nut to crack so I'll have to plead my case carefully. #mentalhealh #psychosis #anxeity

Great if my friend finds some level of comfort in this, but I know if I had a depressed sad post and someone left a comment like this it would not help me in the slightest. In fact I'm sure it would make it worse. You can't pray things away, that's not how it works! 🤦♀️

Healing the world through microactions, cont.: Next time you do your grocery shopping, start at the other end of the store and go up the aisles you usually go down and vice versa. We are creatures of habit, and the efficiency that comes with repetition dulls our engagement with the world. It helps our equilibrium to gently remind us of what’s immediately around us. #microaction #groceries #mentalhealh #habits

Love this, especially how a teacher taught their students about happiness with balloons.

"Globally, death by suicide occurred about 1.8 times more often among males than among females in 2008, and 1.7 times in 2015. IN THE WESTERN WORLD, MALES DIE BY SUICIDE THREE TO FOUR TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN DO FEMALES."
Talk about feelings with your mates. Also about "unmanly" stuff, about failures, about trauma.
If your "bros" call you "gay" for showing some vulnerability, and mean it in a despicable way, fuck them. They are homophobic, they are immature, and they are not your friends. Look for real friends. Seriously.(1/x)

Qué hacer cuando alguien importante está mal, necesita apoyo psicológico y no tiene dinero para ello. Llevar uno mismo esa carga? Llevar la carga económica? Después de una etapa de crecimiento apetecen recompensas y sonrisas, nuevos proyectos. Pero tener que lidiar con esto es agotador. Y no parece que la solución esté a la vuelta fe la esquina.

Need help with the existential dread. Can’t seem to get distracted with anything. Everywhere I go online I see people wanting me not to exist.

Today is London's #GreatMentalHealth Day.
Research shows that music can have a beneficial effect on brain chemicals such as dopamine, which is linked to feelings of pleasure, and oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone.” And there is moderate evidence that music can help lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. (GCBH)
Listening to #Bach might be good #meditation 🙂

Today someone reframed my "brain weasels" as "flare-ups" from my cyclothymia and it's really changing how I relate to them. You know when someone says something that should have been obvious but wasn't? That. #mentalhealh #mentalillness

Richard Dadd — who died on this day in 1886 — was a young British painter of huge promise who fell into mental illness while touring the Mediterranean in the early 1840s. He spent over forty years in mental asylums but never gave up his calling, producing mesmerisingly detailed watercolours and oil paintings of which The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke (pictured here) is now the most well known. The picture’s history encapsulates the peculiar rise and, if not fall, then at least suspension, of its maker’s reputation, and indeed begs the question of what happens to any long-dead forgotten genius after they’ve been rediscovered.

Gentle reminder for those struggling today: one step after the other. Start where you can. Continue with the next. And have a coffee in between. Just because I had to pull myself together this morning, too.

Learn to say NO, regularly:
Emotionally healthy people understand the power of "no", & respect their own boundaries.
Ways to say politely say "no", or buy time to think:
- Thanks for thinking of me but I have other plans
- I won't be able to help, sorry
- Sorry but I don't have capacity for this right now
- Let me check my schedule and get back to you
- I am busy today but I'll be free on ..
- Something came up and I no longer have time to help -
