Mental stability comes at a price

Paying full price or

Insurance

And copays

Medication side effects

Trips to the pharmacy

Waiting room time

Therapy room time…

Lost time from years of untreated mental illness

Mourning what could have been

Mourning what will never be…

idk what's funnier, the fact that i'm attempting to stave off a panic attack by listening to music that it is just frankly ridiculous to have a panic attack to or the fact that it is working really well

[柒] Unrecognized, well-deserved

I feel like some of my friends/mutuals don't have the skill to just walk away from an online conversation/interaction with a shithead/intensely annoying person at the center of it, or worse, super worn-out arguments/discussions/discourse that are fairly common in fandom spaces, and it's understandable. ---- Social skills, like everything, are like muscle in that you need to exercise them, so of course you're not gonna be good at walking away from annoying arguments/discussion/discourse if you don't practice that shit. Fortunately, though? It's real simple. ---- The skill to pick up when encountering those nuisances is as follows: If you happen upon an annoying/shitty user or a tired piece of argument/discourse/discussion, think to yourself these 8 magic words "Who gives a shit? Shut the fuck up.", direct it to the person or discussion, and close the tab/window/channel/etc. ---- Trust me: It absolutely works. You're not a parent with a baby or a pet, you don't have to deal with that which you're not intended to. Let people be annoying on their own, it's not your responsibility if people insist on being wrong, shitty, etc. about a certain topic. ---- Let that shit roll off your shoulders and focus on taking care of yourself and those you care about as best you can, and I'll read you later, alligator!

Listen up everyone! YOU deserve to live a full and happy life, no matter what state the world is in. YOU are not the reason bad things are happening elsewhere in the world. YOU can still be happy when other people aren't because it ISN'T your responsibility to fix everything.

ngl, I do this and it works.

Okay, new cleaning strategy.

Bad at self-discipline, good at acts of love through service. So I'm gonna clean my house pretending it is the house of someone I love who's been too depressed to clean. She's gonna be so surprised.

The roadmap to Building a Successful Mental Health Management System

Building a successful mental health management system requires a thoughtful and comprehensive approach. Begin by establishing clear goals: define the scope of services to be offered, whether it's therapy, counseling, crisis intervention, or community support. Understand the local mental health management landscape through research and needs assessment to tailor services accordingly.

Next, prioritize accessibility and inclusivity. Ensure services are available across demographics, considering factors like language, culture, and socioeconomic status. Use technology to enhance accessibility through telehealth options and online resources.

Develop a robust network of professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors. Collaborate with local healthcare providers, community organizations, and schools to create a holistic support network.

Implement rigorous training programs for staff on cultural competence, trauma-informed care, and the latest evidence-based practices. Foster a supportive work environment to retain skilled professionals.

Invest in technology for data management and analysis to track outcomes and improve service delivery continuously. Maintain strict confidentiality and compliance with privacy laws to build trust.

Educate the community about mental health issues, reducing stigma through campaigns and educational initiatives. Foster peer support groups and community events to create a supportive environment.

Regularly evaluate the system's effectiveness through client feedback, outcome measurements, and stakeholder input. Adapt and expand services based on these evaluations to meet evolving community needs.

Finally, secure sustainable funding through grants, partnerships, and government support. Advocate for mental health policy reforms to ensure long-term viability and equitable access to services.

By focusing on these elements—clear goals, accessibility, professional collaboration, technology integration, community education, evaluation, and sustainability—a robust mental health management system can be developed to support individuals and promote mental well-being effectively.

so im a whiteboard bitch now

Got a big whiteboard that I've currently separated into DAILY GOALS, WORK tasks, and ROOM tasks (because I just moved my bedroom so it's not quite put together yet here's what it looks like I've got a lot going on lately so ig it seems weird to add EXTRA TASKS but most of my time management issues are due to executive dysfunction so the hope is even if I don't do ONE task I will have others to fall back on instead of sitting in mounting stress and frustration!!

Cropped to obscure my work-specific tasks

For my dailies I want to start trying to do one thing from each category every day; very often that doesn't happen but it's okay, it's just so I can see my progress and prioritize stuff I want to do/be an easy list to pick from if im listless or antsy or need a break from work. This is also to help me have Other winddown activities aside from drawing so I don't burn myself out on my primary hobby, which is no fun at all. My categories are for my Physical, Spiritual/Mental health, my environment, and Projects (hobbies or activities I've wanted to do but have put off for a long time bc it's easier to just scroll or watch videos or draw) DAILY TASKS ☐ Meds (did I take em???) PHYS - ☐ Walk ☐ Workout (i have a desk job so for me a physical break is actually getting up and moving) MENTAL - ☐ Meditate ☐ Pray (i have a meditation podcast thing & I do the rosary w my grandmother - these are both more about me doing a quiet mindfulness activity where im not allowed to be distracted or go on brain spirals) ENV - ☐ Chore ☐ Self (improving my environment!! I do one picking-up-around-the-house chore OR one self-care thing - do my nails or skincare or smth etc etc something to make me feel nice) and my PROJECTS ☐ ASL (i just feel like learning it) ☐ Guitar (used to know how to play, wanna pick it up again!) ☐Chess (once my little sister lied to me about the rules so now i want to know how to play) ☐Harp (this is a woodburning project im doing on an old lap harp ☐ Shop (been thinkin' about setting up a shop, printing some tshirts ☐Bees (prepare to keep bees next year!) ☐ Read (books!)

Also a tally of how many glasses of water I've had. working on that

It's actually the 27th, but that doesn't matter, let me just throw on some TS RQ and I'll be right back....

I'm BACK. Now here's me. Vunerable, and everything. I created this blog to reach out to my inner child and locked up passion of writing to hopefully aid my BPD without the therapy I desperately need, but cannot afford to get at this time. I have started to write down my feelings, and I do admit, it does make me feel better, but my hand is killing me.

TW!!! Possible triggering words about drugs and death.

(Yellow words are trigger words).

So here's my day. I wake up, I don't take my meds, because after 7 years of taking them, I still am having a hard time realizing I have to take these things until I die. The thing is, you never hear about elders being on antidepressants, and taking them since they were youthful. It's logical to understand that it's because of the fact that the older generations don't have the same outlook on mental health as others in the newer generations. I don't believe I have ever met a single person over the age of 40 say they've been on antidepressants since they were a small child. And that's what's hard for me. I know plenty of stories about the horrors of those who have taken the pills, and most of them end in suicide, and if not that, they relapse and end up addicted to something. And it's not a good image to have for the youth to not be able to digest the idea of being on these meds for the rest of their lives. Because who talks about that kind of stuff? My parents response when I told them I was genuinely depressed at the age of 15, was that I was too spoiled or I had too good of a life to be sad about anything. So I tried to cheer up. To force myself to be happy, and that led to drug use and doing things to harm myself to make my parents think I was happy, because all I ever cared and still do care about is making them happy. But in the end, at the end of the day, I would cry myself to sleep. I will admit it's better now, that I'm on meds that seem to stabilize the illness. (I hate that word). I'll get into it later when I have the brain capacity. So, I've come up with a system. And I'll explain it.

What, why, when, where

What: What was today like? What did I do and not do that made it good or bad.

Why: If I reacted in a bad way, or cried, or anything that triggered some type of behavior out of me, Why did it trigger me, and why am I letting it still trigger me?

When: When will I work on this trigger? It doesn't HAVE to be today. But it's good to set a goal to sit down with yourself or someone you trust and discuss how you want to tackle the way this makes you feel.

Where: There is always somewhere to go. Whether it's your happy spot, or it's somewhere something happened. It doesn't matter where you go, just make a plan to go to this place and, your favorite coffee shop, a bookstore, make a therapy appointment you've been putting off, somewhere that will bring you closer to overcoming this fear and allowing yourself to see that you are SO worthy of love, the health nurturing accepting type.

I hope you all take time to read these words, but again, this is for me, so even if you don't, it won't affect me, even if I feel like it will. Thank you.

You don’t need to pretend that the medication is fixing you

You’ve convinced yourself your existence is the problem

And not the disorder

Medication is not a fix

You don’t need to be fixed

What you need a tool

Medication can be one of many tools

To help fight the disorder

You are not the disorder.

You are not chaos.

Chaos is coping with the disorder

Maybe you haven’t been coping well

But who the hell would?

Tools are not fixes.

Tools are about managing

Managing is hard

Managing is hell

Sometimes, managing enough is simply making sure you’re breathing the next day

That’s okay enough.

You’re doing enough.

This is my outside perspective watching my friend cope with bipolar disorder.

[painfordays]

Being the only disabled person in a friend group is like. Argues against mental age for 30 minutes without achieving anything because they will die if they cant call developmentally disabled adults 6 year olds. Feel guilty for cancelling plans for disability reasons and making up a lie so you dont have to tell the truth. Get called a cripple after explaining your symptoms. Get told nothing is ever the doctors fault because they work soooo hard and you're just not persistent enough. Realize the only way theyd ever do even minor caregiving tasks for you is if they were paid. Spend an hour arguing against eugenics. Listen to someone talk about a group of disabled people and with every sentence it gets more obvious they never interacted with anyone from this group personally. Get compared to peoples elderly relatives. Get -

New blog post! Topic: Managing my mental health, especially since I live with mental illness, is more of a full-time job than an occasional hobby that I can only do when I feel like it.
