The Truth is in the Process.
The truth is in the process.
We recently had mental health emergency crisis in my family.
You see when a person is living with serious mental illness it affects everyone. During these times we feel anxious and frustrated. Clear, honest communication is critical for the family and friends.
How do you communicate effectively when you feel helpless and hopeless?
The answer is… Get out your tool kit. Recognize that stress is uncomfortable. It took us decades to learn and implement these skills. Today we want to share them with others.
If you feel the need to withdraw go for a walk. Get out of your head and into your body. Move those feelings around. Expand your knowledge of exercise and yoga. Feelings are uncomfortable for most of us try not to escape them. Your body needs to deregulate.
Sometimes we are overwhelmed with the world around us and it’s okay to take a break. Take a step back and take care of yourself.
Our family uses a seven part toolkit.
1. Recognize
2. Expand
3. Manage
4. Implementation
5. Evaluation
6. Education
7. Empowerment
These steps are part of our healing process and they help us work through any problems. There are no limits to the scope of this toolbox. You can use it for your overall mental healthcare plan or you can use it to cope with just a bad day.
I am happy to tell you that there are many ways to manage and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
There are several reasons for beginning a new life change.
I want to reduce my stress level.
I want to invest in my own growth and development.
I want to identify a network of resources.
I want to build relationships and trust.
I want to help build a community that embraces the dignity of citizens.
Transformation requires education and dedication. The right information support and resources can change your life.
You must be able to move out the way and accept healing.
You must also identify your fears take action in spite of them. Now is the time to walk steady and slowly into a healthier, manageable life.
Start with a checklist of things you need to change. Make simple achievable and measurable goals. Make sure to add a timeline for completion.
There will be fears and resistance along the way. Often times as soon as you start progressing you will encounter resistance. There will always be something trying to stop you from achieving your goals, or so it seems. Without the dark and stormy days, we can’t learn to appreciate the good days of sunshine and shade.
The speed in achieving your goals doesn’t matter. Forward motion is what matters .
Be true to yourself even if it hurts.
Put yourself first you are important.

Life’s Truths.
Have you ever thought about these statements?
I am afraid of change
I am not enough
People don’t want me to change
I can’t live without chaos.
The Road Less Traveled by M.Scott Peck M.D.
Life is difficult.
If we expect a life with no pain, no heartache, no illness.
We are wrong.
Life truths.
Struggle is definite!
Mental health issues are complicated!
There are many people with mental health issues that enrich our lives.
History: Abraham Lincoln, Virginia Woolf, Earnest Hemmingway
Popular: Carrie Fisher, Patty Duke, Ben Stiller, Alanis Morissette, Ally Sheedy, Barbra Streisand, Angelina Jolie. The list goes on and on…
Success equals a plan.
Wellness plan equals healthier lifestyle.
For people living with mental health issues the road is not easy. Treatment is up to the individual. This person is not broken and everyone’s success looks different. We can find a way to thrive and move forward.
Mental Illness can’t be cured, however it can be managed.
Start by making a wellness plan.
Reading books and joining a support group.
My wellness plan involves medication, relaxation, yoga, supportive people, meditation, volunteering, journaling and creative writing.
I want everyone to know things did not change overnight for me. It was a slow and steady pace. I have known my share of hardships and loss but here I stand continuously moving forward. I remember the days that made me strong. I asked for help and I never gave up on myself.
My advice to caregivers is smile, sit and listen. Don’t pity the individual. Realize the person is trying on good days and bad days. I advise those that struggle with mental health to learn to ask for help. Remember, ninety percent of mental disorders are treatable.
Why mental illness called the invisible disease?
People don’t often look sick. Some individuals hide behind closed doors and use alcohol and drugs to medicate the disorder. Many individuals rather than seek help with their mental disorder, many hide, hoping that it will go away. They are unwilling to admit to their illness because they are frightened of society’s reaction. Those who most need support from others, aren’t able to find the support they need because of society’s view on their illness.
On the other side of recovery I believe it is our job to raise awareness for those who are still struggling!
We can inspire hope and healing. We can expose this invisible disease.
Tell me how you can change the way people see mental illness.
