Black Lives Matter, let's unite and speak up to correct injustices, to fight for equality and bury racism
I recently discussed PTSD, and coping - both maladative and adaptive types. These two entries followed ater I finished Ochberg's PTSD therapy book, where, in pages 246-251, his collaborator John P. Wilson explains the relation of PTSD to personality disorders, and personality propensities.
Ever since my PC died (or went into a deep coma, we won't know until next week if it can be fixed), I've lacked both inspiration and time to blog, so I thought to fill-in and participate once more to a taf by Ella, aka today_t-forever, who created this Tomorrow concept, based on thoughts she had, as often, late at night.
The past few weeks have been tough on my mental health. I lost friendships, others also seem on the way out, and my overall physical shape as been a-wall, and despite this, there are some positive news too, so here goes for this edition of 2018 health updates.
Se often hear statistics about how many people suffer from mental illness. Campaigns aiming to get rid of stigma and to get politicians involved and to help them understand that there are so many millions of us who suffer from mental illnesses also use these stats. We often hear that we are 1 in 4, meaning that 25% of the population is known to suffer from one or several mental illnesses.
We also discuss the importance of proper diagnosis as a tool, ideally, for a person to get the adequate help, therapy and sometimes medication, and this is true.
Before I explain this entry, I send big thank you’s to
Ella for the nomination, check out her twitter and her blog.
