My sober journey began when I started college at CU Boulder when I stopped smoking weed. I used to be an athlete and played club soccer including my freshman year in college. I lived in the engineering quad. We would travel on weekends all over Colorado so just didn’t drink or smoke weed. I didn’t…
It’s normal to experience stress reactions following any incident of trauma which may continue for a significant period of time. [1] Mass trauma events include “shootings, acts of terrorism, or mass riots.” … “Survivors may have feelings of confusion, fear, and helplessness. Sometimes, those with no personal connections to the event may even be impacted.”…
Remember to be proud of yourself for what you are doing in life. Feeling good about ourselves doesn’t come easy. Just know that in the moment so long as you are doing the right thing that’s one less thing to worry about going wrong for you in life. Everyone is capable of change. Change is…
So far so good living in sober living. I’ve finally made friends and it’s nice to be social. Even friends with the guys too. I had a good time on New Years we went to a sober New Year’s party and it was complete with energy drinks, coffee, and snacks. Living in sober living is…
The drive to improve is in all of us. Who doesn’t want to be better than where they are right now. It’s a good thing for us to push ourselves to be better people. The only problem with wanting to be better than we are is that sometimes we may feel like we’re not doing…
It’s up to you … Where do you see yourself 5 years from now and what are you going to do to get there. Think of each day as bringing you one step closer. For every big goal set a few mini goals toward accomplishing that goal. How should you answer this question? “think about…
Set yourself free from unwanted thoughts and life stressors you deserve some you time. Tis the season to practice self care and get back to your roots, really focusing on ourselves and listening to our needs. How to stop intrusive thoughts? “Techniques like mindfulness meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, deep breathing, and regular physical activity can…
I just completed my first week of PHP, partial hospitalization program (9:30am-3:30pm) Monday - Friday. I previously attended a residential program for 22 days, was hospitalized for 11 days, and went to rehab for 8 days and now I’m in sober living, without a car, living in a home with other women. It’s been a…
If I could summarize 2023 into one word it would be “hectic.” I’m sure it’s not the same for everyone. It always feels like I’m trying to get from point A to point B and barely making it then starting over again along my path in life. I’m hoping that in 2024 I actually get…
“Gratitude helps us to stop trying to control outcomes.” Everything we go through is a necessary step toward growth and progress. And each step of the way we learn. It’s the experiences we go through that make us who we are today. Sometimes things don’t work out the way we had planned. Life can be…
#scotus: What does anger and insult mean directed toward me? If from someone I love loved was the only person I focused on and left all friendships and school means what about you? If your not trusted you punch your head and give up even if you’re not doing anything wrong and why? Me: Because…
Today is a day when I have lost progress experienced wellness discussed difficulty had bad days made every effort to be social and to have done my best and for my best effort to be good enough and considered a worthwhile effort to write if it’s on issues important to me. Unfortunately the ways I’ve…
Early in my recovery off adderrall I put forward a solid effort and more of me was required to complete this program and given a hard time upon starting adderrall again 20 mg because of doing the treadmill all night spontaneously walked 15 miles, which shows the benefits of no voices for 33 days ….…
There’s no place higher than wellness and maybe it was humorous to hear summaries about my mental health and hospitalizations, I can’t fix how I’m interpreted and can do my best as a person who works hard to not also allow my life to become so serious that I get sick or be pushed or…
I had a rough start to PHP, and trouble getting settled but this week plan to go everyday. I did great off adderrall but for some reason back on the med got disorganized managing my time on the treadmill and just have to be careful I don’t take extra, on that day went back to…
Today we learned about the three minds: (1) rational mind (2) emotional mind and (3) the wise mind. This is a DBT skill. With mindfulness focusing on the present moment can be met with challenges, while assessing what you’re doing and what’s happening. By breaking up our understanding of the mind, we can analyze how…
Today in PHP we learned about cognitive distortions. What are cognitive distortions? “Cognitive distortions are internal mental filters or biases that increase our misery, fuel our anxiety, and make us feel bad about ourselves.” [1] We are continuously processing information and the shortcuts we create for ourselves help us with this burden. But what happens…
Each year will be different, and I’m sure it’s not just me asking myself this. With mental health there are good years and bad years, and mostly you are just learning about yourself in the process. I would say that any moment that illness is prolonged is simply about not having a system down that’s…
Recently I’ve been really calm adjusting to new meds, Vyvanse and attending AA meetings everyday via zoom I’m in the middle of my 90 and 90, that’s 90 AA meetings in 90 days. To jump start my sobriety, I initially got sober 04/02/2017 but recently due to stress went back out again, meaning going to…
I was dropped as a patient and diagnosed with “schizophrenia” and suffered embarrassment and public humiliation and I recovered anyways hospitalized or not, and if it’s not about mental health and if “voices” differ for me than everyone who gets voices why are my voices labeled bad? So it’s not my frustration it’s questioning the…
Whenever I find myself responding to a traumatic event or loss, I think about how can I not make things worse than they already are, and what can be said to help make things better. I’ve found that during times of trauma, people want more answers than questions, it’s more settling to the mind to…
Amid the chaos of instability, don’t panic, you are never alone, in the face of adversity. Trust that like me like everyone else, waiting for reassurances in life and permission to continue moving forward without delay. Sometimes the less you have the slower it is to get going again. So be sure to keep yourself…
The problem with being studied is that you can get sick again, so while you may have overcome previous bouts of illness, that doesn’t mean that graver conditions are not possible for you in the future, this is the controversy and Im assuming competitive humor about being given a hard time in life, what is…
When things get better I promise I will start listing in summary the stages and how to overcome the hurdles and controversy, trust that voices is not some annoying condition of hearing others as a blogger I think that’s a normal thing to hear what people think, its always a concern how people will interpret…
It may be my birthday and a day I would usually celebrate, but given the circumstances it’s probably better to discuss losses, and in what way any loss is occurring counter to my improvements, and illustrate how anyone else’s suffering is not caused by my condition or being derailed along the way toward making progress.…
Based on the issues, Im sure whats relevant is sobriety, when it comes to helping others, something that you care about, not something that you get bullied for, participating, its clear that the more difficult life becomes, the less it matters where you show up or what you have to say. So Im not sure…
In the end mental health is not easy, its not something you can learn unlearn learn the wrong things or get confused or mess up and ruin your life or anyones life, its about who you are. Anytime things are hard on you, it simply means that you are made to think about life seriously,…
What I learned on my writing break, is that I may get well, but the resentment toward you for being well, is something that can still hurt your feelings, so don’t in reverse get sick and give up, solely because your health is being confused for protest or upset, the upset doesn’t start until you…
What can be prevented is ultimately what we allow ourselves to be hurt by, and create any justified hurt by the lives, action, or inaction of others, the ultimate disappointment, will ultimately be the value that is lost, in acceptance and the potential to recover, no matter how trying or trivial the circumstances will be,…
What does schizophrenia mean, it means that I have been described as inappropriate and offensive, so that’s reviewing all my work toward developing a career in blogging and accusing me of writing, or being hurtful, and well as though its something I need to be told, or something I ever got away with, by what…
The point at which things become unhelpful is when you are not strong enough to handle criticism or made to be overly sensitive and not only misread but then don’t feel good by others. The point when you feel sick, is when people give up on you, its when you cant be around others, and…
It’s been 10 years since Ive traveled, and barely made it to a trip to New York New Jersey, considering what to do to fulfill a therapy requirement for court. Looking into a few treatment centers and interviewing, I was not accepted to Passages Malibu Rehabs, but applied. I haven’t been drinking enough and my…
Just got my website updated by Wordpress, this is the third time I’ve paid to have my website theme updated for me, so far so good. Putting together a website works until something breaks and that much I would have to go to coding school for, so something to accept about tech. I’ve been taking…
I have court tomorrow, and nothing is more scary than needing to put myself together and have a plan for improvement, and to have no plan, no job, and not be feeling well. So that’s not being prepared for court, so this is the lesson, on appearances, no matter where you are in life, or…
Harassment is not a justified torment toward any person, for any reason, because of any lawsuit, over any case famous, over any content beneficial to the majority of readers, nor are terms to denominate people as causes for disease or crime, that’s not the solution, to do things for things to be said, that’s the…
A shared sense of pride is what is at stake, when there is a shared interest in preventing mass shootings, and the element of racism and hate stands in the way, when there is dislike, whether that is voices or in reality, that presents a risk, when there is a risk meaning “not popular” or…
I think the biggest issue that relapse brings up is “who you are” being around people, then be viewed as “someone who is different than they appear to be.” So it brings up the issue of being sober and being seen, then being something else, and then not belonging, or being worse off by comparison…
I wouldn’t have said F Anti-Semitism, if I didn’t believe that it were possible to end hate, and Im sure that any dislike or disfavor of me, doesn’t help the fight against anti-semitism. I think being a member of Brady, makes you a caring person, but there is so much else about life and yourself,…
Dont threaten me or I’m suing people in court for extortion and going through my personal records and trying to convince me I’m mentally ill or dying or sick over something light occurring or be manipulated changed or made to look bad or grose I took the meds I take the meds one day I […]
Harassment is not a justified torment toward any person, for any reason, because of any lawsuit, over any case famous, over any content beneficial to the majority of readers, nor are terms to denominate people as causes for disease or crime, that’s not the solution, to do things for things to be said, that’s the reverse of wellness, its causing people think things by not saying things, is a wrongful manipulation of withholding information or a knowing of information upon saying information with the intent to make someone else speak to what can be otherwise be spoken for the person projecting a terminology toward a person. No one can control what you think or what you say, and experimentation in the privacy of a persons phone or computer is not the recipe for any code, or motivation for anything to be created in anyone name, honor, disability, livelihood, characteristics, or education, that’s not the solution to adding value to life, that’s adding value to life, while mistreating a person, wrongfully.
