I've recently found myself in the headspace to finally begin some very essential therapeutic work that I've found myself resisting for many years: Reparenting. You dont necessarily need to be doing parts work therapy in order to be successful with reparenting yourself but I've found that my recent work has been the key to this concept for me. For so long I've felt angry, frustrated and straight up resistant to any idea of having to do reparenting work because I was mad that my parents didnt have to do it themselves. It felt like giving them a 'get out of jail' free card, and I thus struggled to process the sense of injustice that came along with those ideas. Thankfully through the work I've been doing in parts work therapy I've finally found my way to feeling ready to start this very important process of reparenting and Im looking forward to see where it takes me. Check out my video to learn more.

Palestinian activists in Ontario are asking you to email your reps about Bill 166. The wording of the bill is extremely vague, but it seems like the Ford government wants to open itself the possibility to meddle in mental health services provided by Universities and to change their anti-racism policies. It is very likely - with the timing - that these policy changes are going to be saught to arrest / institutionalize Palestinians for divulge during therapy, or to deny them service altogether. They want to control University campus mental healthcare, something no other province does.

Hi! Someone who works in the non-profit/charity sector!
At least in Canada, a lot of our non-profits have been suffering from inflation. For example, food bank operating costs have gone up by 25% while we’re seeing less food being put out due to shrink-flation.
I do strongly suggest reaching out to charities and non-profits because we need them more now than ever! My local food bank has almost doubled in attendees in less than a year (400 originally, now 1000).
Ontarian Non-Profits 2 Checkout:
• Hamilton Regional Indian Centre
An indigenous outreach I strongly support. They focus on our cultural healing, prenatal care, supporting Canadian Indigenous families and so so so so much more!
A lot of events are run through them as well if you’ve ever wanted to partake in pieces of Indigenous culture.
• Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario
Our country’s leading charity in Alzheimer’s education and the leads for trying to find a cure. Old people get neglected a lot and especially old people with this illness.
They support and fund activities for them as well, which is important for stimulating the mind!
• Knight’s Table
Traditional food bank, focuses in mostly on non-perishables. I’ve used this organization in the past and they made sure me and my family were looked after.
1/3 Kids are food bank users.
• Regeneration
Traditional food bank that also serves hot and fresh foods. Provides a clothing closet for homeless and underprivileged as well, paired with a station to gussy up for job interviews. Think of it as a food bank with DLC.
• Rainbow Railroad
LGBTQ+ foundation that focuses on bringing queer folk who’ve been victimized in their home countries here to Canada for asylum. There’s too many countries that fund and support violence against LGBTQ+ people. Rainbow Railroad aids in the immigration process and helps people of our community from around the world.
Conversion therapy and similar methods are still widely accepted and encouraged in certain parts of the world.
• CAMH (Canadian Association of Mental Health)
Mental health non-profit focused on providing humane and healing treatment to Canadians FREE of cost. They run psychiatric facilities both stay overnight and drop in. They also host a 24/7 Crisis Hotline for those in dire states. Furthermore, they run free mental health programs such as DBT, CBT, Talk-Therapy, Group Therapy, Addictions counseling and so much more.
CAMH received a lot of funding cuts back when COVID hit, paired with a huge influx of people needing to use their services. Still they continue to provide these services, though now with wait times due to funding.
I encourage you to research charities within your area and donate either money, supplies or funds to them! There’s a huge need for it. Thank you to everyone who has supported non-profits so far. I can promise you they use every cent.

In Defense of Justin Bieber
Tumblr media
Among the many musical artists that are celebrated as icons in the eyes of the public, you'd be hard pressed to find one as divisive as Justin Bieber. Despite his immense popularity and devoted fanbase, critics and Internet users worldwide have been throwing harsh critiques and cringy memes at his expense since he rose to stardom. I've seen first hand how the fame and negativity surrounding Justin has afrected him, both physically and mentally. For this post that is about a decade late to the party, I'll be discussing why Justin Bieber is not just a talent musician, but is also a really good person deep down.
Tumblr media
In the mid to late 2000s, Justin was a talented kid from Ontario covering songs from the likes of Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Usher, Alicia Keys, and Edwin McCain among others on his YouTube channel. He was discovered by his manager, Scooter Braun, and released hit after hit before he was even 15. In addition to having wonderful singing chops, Justin was very skilled on guitar, drums, and piano. Justin's musical prowess made him a local celebrity in his hometown of Stratford, but after releasing his debut single One Time, he was an international celebrity. It was with his debut album, My World 2.0, that he became a global phenomenon as it sold 283,000 copies in it's first week. The lead single, Baby, featuring rapper Ludacris, also became a smash hit with the accompanying music video raking in millions of views. All this is to say, Justin made it huge in the music industry, but unfortunately not everyone was happy about it.
Tumblr media
With the millions of fans Justin Bieber had, he also had just as many detractors. It'd be one thing if some people weren't a fan of his songs or thought his singing was adequate at best or even if they just brushed him off as a trend that would be forgotten about in a week and thought nothing of it. But oh how wrong I was for thinking we lived in a sensible society. The music video for Baby became the most disliked video on Youtube at the time and many comments were crude, nasty, unfunny, and hurtful. And that was tame compared to all the other stuff Justin had to go through for the next few years. He's had things thrown at him while performing, grown adults were making hit pieces and slams against him, and paparazzi were hounding him on his personal life. This was all done maliciously for the sole purpose of gaining clicks and 15 seconds of fame. None of these people ever took into consideration that Justin Bieber was still a child and all this negativity being thrown his way is gonna give him anxiety and depression.
Tumblr media
And what do you know?! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT FREAKING HAPPENED!!! Yes, I'm well aware Justin did some stupid and irresponsible things during the 2010s, such as reckless driving, vandalism, DUI, and resisting arrest. All that said, though, the root problem with all of Justin Bieber's controversies was that he was L-O-N-E-L-Y! Imagine being one of the most recognized people in the world and not having any real friends to comfort you. Outside of immediate family, Justin had nobody, no one to vent his frustrations to. And he didn't try to hide the fact that he wasn't happy either. This was most evident in the song Where Are U Now, where the lyrics ask where the person he cared about is now that he's going through it. While the song had several other writers besides him, I think this was Justin's way of asking for help during the worst time in his life.
Tumblr media
The bulk of the blame for Justin Bieber's depression and anxiety should go squarely to his manager. Scooter Braun may have been instrumental with putting Justin on the map, but the way he handled Justin's career and his mental health was just despicable. Justin should've taking a hiatus after the My World Tour to recharge his batteries. Justin also should've been in therapy, spend as much time with his family as he wants, and have paparazzi be forbidden to take photos of Justin without going through security first. That would imply that Scooter was a good manager and not this generation's Col. Tom Parker. Yeah, that's how bad he is; Justin should've fired him years ago.
Tumblr media
Naysayers that think he's nothing but a teen heartthrob that swims in his riches like Scrouge McDuck clearly ignore his philanthropy and Christian upbringing. In 2011 he donated proceeds from his concerts to the Japanese Red Cross following the disastrous earthquake and tsunami of Tohoku. He's also a big supporter of Pencils 4 Promise, a charity that builds schools in developing countries. He was also one of 85 artists that participated in the We Are The World 25 For Haiti song that gave support to Haiti during their disastrous earthquake in 2010. He's also a big advocate for mental health (for obvious reasons), with his recent donation of $100k to Julie Coker, a fan that works in mental health awareness, as proof positive. Justin is a believer in God, though unlike religious nut jobs like Kirk Cameron, he doesn't shove his beliefs down people's throats. Rather he showcases his beliefs by example. He attends Churchrome, was baptized in Jesus' name in 2014, and led worship at SoFi Stadium with fellow Christian artists Kari Jobe and Cody Carns. As a fellow Christian who also struggles with anxiety and depression day by day, Justin has my respect for still being faithful even after everything that's happened to him.
Tumblr media
Justin Bieber isn't some privileged brat who let fame get to his head and destroy his mental health. He's an earnest young man from Ontario who had a passion for music, got his big break, and rode an emotional rollercoaster he was essentially forced on and is now suffering the long term consequences. Underneath the big name celebrity exterior is a good man who loves music, is a strong advocate for mental health, uses his platform to inspire others. Best of all he's married to a beautiful woman and is on his way to being a father. He definitely deserves to live a long and prosperous life, especially to see his child grow up and one day say, "My Dad is the greatest."

i think healthcare does vary somewhat in its specifics from province to province but in general i imagine the principles would be pretty similar between them. in BC for citizens, people with work visa for 6+ months, refugees, international students etc, you get the Medical Services Plan (MSP, as a resident of bc it's free for me, for a visa you may or may not have to pay but sounds like you don't have to?) which covers stuff that is medically necessary like drs visits, treatments, tests. it doesn't cover meds, dentist, or optometrists. (fun fact i just found out as i was looking some stuff up for you: certain gender affirming care is covered! i did not know that! i could get a hysterectomy for free!!! cool!) it does cover mental health treatment via public institutions, but not private. anything beyond that is (hopefully) covered by extended care (insurance provided by job or private insurer). you can look up what specifically is covered by MSP or its equivalent in the province you're aiming for and if it's BC the website is actually decently easy to use.
therapy - in bc at least, my impression is that the mental health sector is reallly busy and there are a lot of waitlists, so emergency/crisis situations would be their priority, and i imagine it might be more difficult to get care otherwise. private therapists would be more readily accessible but also more expensive- one i was looking at the other day was istg like $160 cad for 50 min. so having insurance via your job would be really helpful for that. my extended care plan is a pretty good one and was willing to cover something like 80% for therapists. (jsyk my impression is only based off of watching other people's experience with the public sector and my own brief research into private therapy so don't take it as gospel) other provinces would likely be similar but to lesser degrees (except ontario they'd probs be worse)
feel free to ask more questions! i really would love to help. unfortunately i don't know a lot about visa stuff but anything cultural, daily life, etc, i can def give you an insider perspective. <3
thank you! wow thank you so much anon i really appreciate it. this was a lot of good information! i had been researching for a long time but sometimes insider tips help you know where to get started, or what to expect or what to look up etc. also knowing the insurance bor was rly helpful thank you
not taking it as gospel, but as a jumping off point this was great i appreciate you
right now i don’t have any more questions about stuff that’s not visa related<3

Hi Steph, I’m sorry to bother you with this but I feel so lost and your blog has been a source of light for so long. I’ve been trying to hold on a job for a while but had to quit two because of mental health reasons. I am embarrassed though, how do I cope with this? At the same time I know I am capable since I do have skills, but the environment/circumstances is just so stressful..
Hey Nonny *HUGS*
Ooof I am SO sorry that you're dealing with that stuff, and I wish I could do more than offer hollow words. Please know I am not a professional so please just take what I say as anecdotes that I hope will help you too <3
Nonny, there is NOTHING to be embarrassed about, and it took me a LONG time to realize that. Seeing a therapist has helped me immensely with those feelings of shame. I'm also fortunate enough to have a day job that I'm 8-years-tenured at, so honestly I just went right to the top with the HR manager in the room, told them exactly what my therapist recommended for me, and now I'm allowed some accommodations should I need them.
However.
Mental health is WOEFULLY undervalued in the corporate world, and very few of us end up with employers who are both understanding and accommodating to our needs, and I can understand why you want to keep it to yourself in fear of job loss. I'm a Canadian in Ontario, and we have laws that employers cannot fire or lay you off strictly because of mental health issues (which I believe is a fairly recent thing). You don't state where you're from, so I'm going to guess it's the US, which I – from afar and tumblr posts – understand is horrific to employee-rights. So, yeah, I can understand why you feel trapped.
Honestly Nonny – and this is just because I felt encouraged by my therapist to do so – just talk to an HR person about options to accommodate you, like maybe they let you work nights when there's less people and distractions, or let you do hybrid work... And if need be, get a doctor or psychologist's note to present to them.
Honestly Nonny, I'm probably the worst person to ask about this, because I KNOW I'm privileged enough work a job that was willing to work with me. You know why? Because, like you, I have the skills that are valuable enough to keep me around. It took working an entire pandemic at home to prove to them I could be granted those accommodations, but yeah, sometimes, your work IS noticed, even if they don't say anything to you.
So, my thoughts are this: talk to a counsellor or therapist or even your doctor (mine is a talk therapist, and we're working on cognitive behavioural therapy, which is essentially giving me tools to cope with my day-to-day), because just having an unbiased point-of-view is helpful. Talk to your HR manager to see if they have the capabilities to accommodate your needs. AND if your job has PTO or Sick days, TAKE THEM. That's what they're there for. There is NO shame in taking a day off because you can't get out of bed. OR offer to work at home on those days, which is what I do.
Sorry I'm not much help other than this, Nonny. I have so much empathy for you, especially since I have very bad headspace days where I can't physically bring myself to go to the office. I truly hope you find a solution that works for you, but AGAIN, DON'T BE ASHAMED. You are only human, and we are NOT made to work 40+ hours a week for 60 years.
If anyone has much more useful advice, please do offer it <3

With the collapse of primary medicine in Ontario, a situation ensured by provincial governments for decades, Loblaws has managed to become the only game in town for one of the 2.2 million Ontarians without a family doctor. While the Ford government has ensured Shoppers can profit from pharmacists “treating” minor ailments, if you need a family doctor and don’t have a walk-in nearby, you get Maple. 
Last spring, Galen and company delivered the coup de grace, in terms of making sure they are unavoidable in primary care, with the purchase of Lifemark Health Group. By paying Audax Private Equity $845 million, Galen acquired Canada’s leading provider of physio, massage therapy, chiropractic, mental health and rehab services. Interestingly, given the significance of the purchase for Canadians, as patients, media coverage of the acquisition was muted.

I feel like I sound like a stubborn ass when I firmly respond to the question of "are you getting any counselling?" with a no, and I do not intend to seek any. But it truly is just a matter of having a lot of experience with the public mental health system in Ontario, so I know it has nothing to offer me. I've tried CBT many times and it is not beneficial to me, personally, but it is all that is offered in this province. I handle my mental health on my own and seek support from friends and family when I must because I live somewhere where therapy methods are viewed as one size fits all unless you have the cash/insurance to go to a private practice, not because I hold any stigma against therapy.

I am going to have to take a little time away from tumblr. (Hopefully just a couple days)
I don't have enough money for my pain/ptsd/mood medication, and don't want to act or say shit I don't mean.
I'm I'm a bad mental place, and don't know how long until I can get my medications.
Seeing things on here (food) that I'm nearly addicted to, while feeling like such shit, when I can't afford a bag of milk or medication the rest of this, and all of next month triggers bad feelings from my bpd.
I have borderline personality disorder, and it's hell to deal with on the best days.
The only thing I can do when I'm in a spell is recluse because I'm not... I'm basically a broken human.
The specific way my combination of disorders come together, basically make it so everything about me is broken in one way or another, and that I'll never be able to maintain, or have relationships or friendships or really any human connection.
I am invalid
Now, not everyone with bpd is this way. Most aren't.
There's over 117 different ways it can present, as well as the fact I have multiple other disorders intertwined with it.
I have done 12 years of all different types of therapies, and workshops. I have all the skills needed, but one disorder will trigger the next, and the next, and the next, and suddenly I don't know what day it is or what happened the last two.
I'm on a large amount of antidepressants, to the point every doctor I see questions it.
300mg effexor
275mg lamotragine
300mg welbutrin
1mg resperidone
For depression only.
I have also been prescribed medicinal Marijuana (in Ontario - legal) and that's the one I can't afford.
That one helps with pain, depression, c-ptsd, and panic disorder w/ agoraphobia. (Some of my dx's) this is the one I can't afford this month. It's the one that carries most of the weight.
Honestly the only reason I didn't get shock therapy is because I needed a ride home, and didn't have one, and couldn't afford a cab.
Please remember it's the specific combination of symptoms of 6+ psychiatric diagnoses. Very, very, very few people with any of my dxs will be affected this way.
People with bpd get a bad rap of being bad people. Bpd is basically like our mind is as sensitive as a 3rd degree burn - the slightest interaction, can cause a big reaction in our brain that we can't always control. It doesn't mean we don't try. It means we learn when to pull ourselves away to calm down.
Adding for luck.
If you're able to help with cost of medication, my PayPal is: https://www.paypal.me/thatguyyates
Nothing that comes in will be going to food/groceries until medication cost is covered (unless specified)
Currently at $75/$205 but a service fee is coming out soon
(Not all medications or health issues have been added. Not all are needed in here)
