psy*cho*so*mat*ic

it is really real. if ya don’t know now ya know! you can think all you want that the mind body (spirit) connection is a bunch of *crunchy granola* *hippie dippy* insert crystals, candles, and sage here* bullshit. but have you ever really paid attention? I mean really paid attention? check yourself out and see what, if anything, you can find. it is not hard for us to acknowledge the increase in our heart rate in anticipation, fear, and/or panic. the slight flutter of butterflies when we see our boo-thang (probably early on in our relationships), or the stream of tears produced when feeling a range of emotions from sadness to undeniable happiness! but there are other things lurking ever so vaguely or with an explosive force due to the interaction of our mind and body. the 3 ton person on your chest that can accompany anxiety and panic. the headache that comes in anticipation of a difficult conversation. ever get the runs before a presentation, under or overeat when feeling down? ever felt like your feet were stuck to the floor by 25 of those big chewed up gum-balls that used to be a quarter at arcades because you thought you were in danger?

Just started this new blog as I lost my other one due to my phone being stolen and I can’t remember the password 😞,

This one will be about my life and my current experiences. I’m 36 years old and I am indigenous . I was placed into foster care as a baby and adopted so I’ve never really been connected to my culture , and never set foot on a reservation .

I’ve faced many struggles in my life , and have dealt with discrimination-hate most unknowingly (I just always thought there was something wrong with me ). I recently lost my child due to forced removal by DHHS and feel the pain immensely . As generational trauma from my ancestors before me faced this .

I have been dealing with hate and discrimination in my town for years , and most recently feel discriminated by our police departments. I lost my apartment while incarcerated for 2 months in our county jail . (And I was arrested by a police officer who said I was intoxicated but never even breathalyzer me , released on bail and re-arrested for the same violation via warranted and unnecessarily jailed ) As a result I lost everything I owned in my apartment .

I was fortunate to have some help from family and friends when I got out , to get me some cloths and moral support.

The case manager at the jail failed to help me with referrals to homeless shelters, or a brap voucher despite my asking , he wanted to wait until we got closer to court date which was 6/20. I was let out of jail unexpectedly, with no where to go and little resources .

My child is in the care of his paternal family and I’m fighting DHHS to get my child back . I have alot of barriers , and over the top requirements to get my child back and DHHS never went over my reunification plan with me , and designated requirements without my input .

I miss my child immensely and I can not describe the pain that I feel , being without my child ,and not being able to be there for him .

( In my eyes , DHHS are certified kidnappers)

They judge by what they read on paper , without getting to know the parent or understand life struggles . Im by no means a perfect parent , but I loved my child deeply and was a good mom. My child is now traumatized by the force removal . He had also just lost his father 6 months prior and DHHS should of done everything they could to avoid removal . (I was on waitlists for counseling and case management for months )

My child was taken after reports of concerns of my “mental health “ after losing my child’s father to overdose in April of 2022 (we were not together )

My story is filled with hurt , pain , trauma , and loss . But I am determined to turn it around and get my child back although facing significant barriers to do so .

The Unknown

You know that feeling when you know something is wrong. When the conscience tells you something just isn’t right. When the butterflies starts to die. When you’re anxiety is so high you feel like an attack is about to take over. That feeling when you can’t put it in words but you feel it through your entire body? Yeah? Me too.

[jayledjoker91]

"Yeah I feel great being clean and sober. Yeah I mean that high was amazing but I don't miss it I'm glad I don't do it. No really I don't miss incredible high that made me feel more serotonin and dopamine than my brain can only process as too much good at once. Yep don't need it. Feel better,eat better sleep better I am better overall." "Alright then Bob well then let's keep walking past your old dope dealers neighborhood and get to that meeting cause it wasn't that great when you were getting that amazing high in a tent by a freeway overpass and now you don't even have the tent and one high could easily turn to 3 failed uas that get you kicked out of sober living. So why do you wanna get it high?" "I don't " "and" "And and it's bad so bad I hate it. " " Yeah now you've been sober as long as I've been here in treatment too bad I haven't ".....

Follow and be inspired, Happy Early Retirement! @mackthetailor “✌🏾🚔🥳 ( 3️⃣3️⃣ and RETIRED) ✨Today marks the end of my 9 and a 1/2 year journey as a Detective, but the beginning of a new purpose. Diagnosed with CRPS has forced me to retire, but I am grateful to be able to start a new chapter in my life at 33. I pulled a car over while conducting narcotics investigations, the passenger exited with a firearm, I chased him on foot and was hit by a truck and I live today… to tell my STORY = MY PURPOSE. (Full speech will be uploaded tomorrow). ——> all retirement gifts here $mackthetailor 🍻🍾😂 I cried during the ceremony so y’all gotta forgive me, I haven’t worked on my crying faces yet. 👮🏽🤣😩 #TheStruggle (PLEASE If you can, PRESS SHARE and share my story to your story…. May my life be the testimony someone else may need today). I am so excited to have the FREEDOM to inspire and educate on a larger scale, and to fulfill the new purpose God has given me. “ #RetirementJourney #NewBeginnings #GratefulHeart #InspiringOthers #EducationMatters #RetiredDetective #CRPSAwareness #BlessedLife #Thankful" #congratulations https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKcEoiuH2i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

justlikeyou

hello, I am just like you, mostly. but i am also different, just like you. i call myself a therapist of mental health and i have been listening to and collecting stories all of my life. memories of my first collections came in the form of observations and engagement, just like now, without the book learnin’, evidence based practices, ethics, rules, etc. etc. etc.

I have not stopped talking since I started but this [being a mental health therapist] mostly ain’t that. the act of listening is definitely an art. I have learned it well mostly out of a curious spirit that has been stifled over the years as I have come to understand it, the curious spirit that is, as somewhat of a bad thing from others, but I still want to know. 

while curiosity (and fascination) has been the impetus of my love of stories, other than my own, more recently I feel it has been a necessity because my perception of being unseen and unheard. if you talk and no one listens or they listen and do not hear you, or see you as a human in their own story of humanness you are only left with the choice to be the listener. when the octave of your communication fails to land correctly between intervals. all anyone including yourself can hear... is the rest. caesura!
