Yesterday’s End The Silence class picture. It was a long day but I’m glad I went. I got to meet people who answered a lot of my questions about being a public speaker, about starting my own business. The only unfortunate thing was that it did send me into a little bit of hypomania last night. Fortunately I have a plan for that and it worked – I just drugged myself with anxiety and sleeping meds till I was over powered with sleep. Don’t worry, it was done safely, I was following doctors orders. A lot of doors are opening for me and it is very exciting but I have to make sure that I keep both feet on the ground. I need to follow a schedule right now more than ever. The times when I am the most excited are sometimes the times that hold the most Temptation - I want to jump around from one idea to another and in the process I would not get much done. I don’t have to fall victim to my feelings-I can and I will push through, set reasonable goals, and not quit until they reached. #NAMI #NamiGeorgia #endthesilence #MentalHealth #AtlantaMentalHealth #Recovery #AtlantaRecovery #Advocacy #AtlantaAdvocacy #Goals #AnxietyRecovery #DepressionRecovery #BipolarRecovery #SchizoaffectiveRecovery #OCDRecovery #EDRecovery #BPDRecovery #ALifeWorthLiving #HopeIsReal #FocusOnTheGood #AchieveGoals #BeTheChange #Endstigma

Peace
By O.A.R.
I don't wanna fight no more
I only wanna get to shore
Baby don't slam the door tonight
Ran another off the tracks
That's time we can't get back
We can save tomorrow if we try
Ohhhhh till we make this right
Ohhhhh I won't say goodnight
I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Baby we're only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep
I want love
I want us
I want you
I want me
I want peace
Yea everybody needs a place,
Somewhere that's warm and safe
For shelter from this crazy world we're in
But tonight I let the rain inside
I took away your place to hide
I'm sorry if I made you cry again
Ohhhhh we can make this right
Ohhh kiss me good night
I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Babe we're only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep
I want love
I want us
I want you
I want me
I want peace
Yeah I want peace
Ohhhhh we don't have to fight
Ohhhh just kiss me all night
'Cause I want peace
I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Baby we're only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till you fall asleep
I want love
I want us
I want you
I want me
I want peace
I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Baby we're only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till you fall asleep
I want love
I want us
I want you
I want me
I want peace
I want love
I want us
I want you
I want me
I want peace

May is #MentalHealthAwareness Month . . . #Repost @namigeorgia ・・・ "Often, we’re unaware of what we’re doing when we pass stigma along. Our words and actions come from everything we’ve heard about mental illness from childhood on. But we need to realize that stigma hurts people. It attacks their humanity, their pride and their potential. At its worst, it causes us to devalue people, denying them the care and attention they would receive if they were dealing with any other medical issue. Stigma has the power to damage lives—and take lives." #CureStigma #MentalHealthMonth @namicommunicate https://www.nami.org/Blogs/From-the-CEO/May-2018/Let-s-Cure-the-Social-Virus-Known-as-Stigma
