Mental Health Help

Image
I talked to my therapist yesterday and this is what we talked about. Good advice for those who suffer from depression and bipolar disorder. What he said really made me think about the way I have trained my brain to think. It could take a lot of work to retrain my brain but I am going to give it a try. What the video talks about is all about what a person should think and what words we shouldn't be using as people who suffer from mental health disorders.   

Is Depression Your Fault

h I used to listen to all the wrong people. I actually believed and still do at times that my mental illness was my own fault. Power through, push through, think about something else, there's nothing wrong with you, you don't look sick, I've heard them all. I was told I was lazy, no good, useless, worthless and more. I still to this day feel that way about myself. This video talks about how this isn't our fault and that we are just sick. Being sick isn't anyones fault it just happens. Except it, take medicine, go to therapy, and live the best that we can. We can only do what our bodies and minds will lets us do.

Suicide is a touchy subject but still needs to be discussed. Suicide affects millions around the world. What causes it? How do we stop it? In this video we look at these questions. I discuss signs of suicide as well as what it's like to face suicide. I am a suicide survivor and I want to share my experience with the world. Watch this video to learn more about suicide. If you are thinking about suicide then call the suicide prevention number in the video. Seek help immediately or go to the closest ER.   

Depression Part 3

     Depression and Bipolar Disorder are real illnesses and can affect a life dramatically. In this video I talk about doing what you can, and not over doing it. I also discuss how being on a routine can help manage some of the symptoms of mental illness. July is disability pride month so lets celebrate the lives of those with a disability. Remember that people with a disability are people too. We need to come together and be the best we can be even with disabilities. 

Overcoming Depression

This week I decided to continue a series on depression. There are ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Finding a hobby or simply petting an animal can help overcome severe depression. In this video I discuss ways to overcome depression and help relieve some of the symptoms. I am no doctor nor am I a therapist but I live with chronic depression and bipolar disorder. I've lived with this since I was fourteen and I am now forty three. I know what depression is and I know what helps me. Sometimes depression wins while other times I can manage to force myself into doing something. I feel better after I use the tips from the video. Please watch and don't forget to subscribe.
