Today Was a Good Day
Just as there are bad days, there are good days. I appreciate the good days when they come and sometimes we have to focus on the positive to make it through the bad days.
Tales from the Psych Ward (Part 3): “Therapy”
I Don’t Know MUCH BUT… I do know that therapy should be a bit more tailored to the person that is receiving it. The last time I was at Southern Maryland, I wasn’t as knowledgeable regarding psychology. I was obtaining my Associate’s at the time but I just think that there is so much moreContinue reading “Tales from the Psych Ward (Part 3): “Therapy””
Diagnosing People Based Off ONE Incident with NO Mental Health Background
If you see someone doing something that isn’t right, don’t just assume they have a mental illness. There are some people with mental illnesses that do not act like this and it is not up to us to throw diagnoses out there based on ONE incident. Before obtaining a diagnosis from a PROFESSIONAL, there is a work up done, records reviewed, etc. Professionals don’t just walk up on someone and diagnose them and we shouldn’t either.

This is Where Kpop Gets STUPID I really hate this subject. I really hate the people that promote it. This is kind of when I hate Kpop in general. Something SO beautiful that should unite everyone gets turned into this mess. And, maybe it’s because I’m older, but I don’t see the point of it.Continue reading “How Kpop Changed My Life – Part TWO: Fan Wars”
Think Before You Speak on DMX, Mental Illness, and Addiction
A lot of people are making a lot of comments about this man, his life, his friends, his death, his trauma, and his addiction.

How DMXContinue reading “Think Before You Speak on DMX, Mental Illness, and Addiction”
Facebook Jail for the Third Time (for 30 Days)
As many now know, Facebook has been on a rampage with the whole jailing thing. I have written about all the times I have been in Facebook jail and for what, HOWEVER, this is probably the dumbest reason to get banned out of all of them.

Dating a Person with a Diagnosed Mental Illness, Could You Do It? Should You Do It?
As I point out often, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2009 after being put into an institution for a short time. One thing I have always stressed to people that were interested in me since I was 20 (I’m 40 now) is that I take medication. When I received my first diagnosis ofContinue reading “Dating a Person with a Diagnosed Mental Illness, Could You Do It? Should You Do It?”
