MORE can be done, but its little that is being done. #MentalHealth #Stigma

Sure no one should be blamed for a mental health problem. It is my belief that everyone has a mental heath problem at one time or another. The problem is that no one can tell a person has a mental health issue. No one wears a sign! Thus, until there is a way to notice... Continue Reading →

Words matter #MentalHealth #StigmasNoMore

When people have a Mental Health diagnosis they never even wanted themselves & others throw "words" around to stigmatize, it's like sentencing a completely innocent person to death row for a crime they weren't even present to commit. Falsely accused of a crime. And now dealing with consequences that don't fit. The punishment doesn't fit... Continue Reading →

Real heroes of bravery. #MentalHealth #Warriors

For those who don't know me personally or for those who are reading this as my first article.

Change the people around you. #Stress #SelfCare #Relationships #MentalHealth

This is a short one for today. Just a simple thought, but very honest. It's not up to us to change a person. Some people are toxic for us to be around. If a person isn't good for your growth, well-being, mental health than it's time to make some changes. If you can't change the... Continue Reading →

Different walks of life but respect the journey. #Faith #God #SpecialNeeds #MentalHealth

Each one being born into this world to live out a purpose that has been designed specifically for that person. Others ask me, how do I... Continue Reading →

Accepting the present. #MentalHealth #Grief #acceptance #love #change

In a discussion today, this thought came to me. When our loved ones life has been impacted and altered by mental illness, some of us tend to grieve the loss of the person we once knew them to be. The person before their life was impacted by this illness that came out of no where.... Continue Reading →

From bitter to better. Moving Forward without you. #Truths #Stigma #MentalHealth

If I can be honest. If I'm allowed to express my truths. If I can tell others how it feels to experience those chapters of my life when my youngest son died twice in my arms on two separate occasions, when he was discovered to have significant developmental delays.  When my oldest son experienced anxiety,...

It’s called a mutual understanding. #MentalHealth #Stigma #AngryPhase #MovingOn

I ask myself. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Since some of my own family & those who claimed to be a friend, has chosen not to be here in times of crisis and a need for emotional support, but instead has decided to "demonize & stigmatize" because suddenly mental health disorders have impacted...

The combative life. #Anxiety #PTSD #Triggers #Eggshells #MentalHealth

Forget about the "walking on eggshells" life, its become land mines for me. While in discussion with other families, these are some of what we all had in common... Being in combat isn't easy. Buckle up because your about to take the ride of your life! Put on your armour! Be prepared for every thing... Continue Reading →

Tonight’s thought. #Triggers #Stress #Anxiety #Hope

Sometimes living conditions can be challenging. Especially when you are trying to manage everyone else's stress, triggers, along with your own anxiety. Because you don't want history to repeat itself. That part of history that no one wants to relive. Instead you hope for a better tomorrow. A new opportunity to create new memories toward...
