coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
The Invisible Illness
Anxiety. The feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease that accompanies a desire to do something. When it comes to mental health, however, this sense of unease can morph into a sense of uneasiness and apprehension, often accompanied by compulsive behavior and panic attacks. It is the need to act, to move, even when there is nothing one might do, nowhere one might go.

Today I Want to Blow My Head Off
You want to know what living with a brain injury is like? Today, for example, I simply want to blow my head off. Why? It’s not because I’m angry or I want to hurt myself. It’s because the ringing in my ears is so loud, so all-consuming, that it eclipses every other sound around me.

Is It OK To Live From One High To Another?
Without any doubt, it is settled in almost every stream of study and every school of thought, that the reward of any and every human effort comes out in the form of emotional highs, the degree of which depends upon the scale of effort being put into action.

You Can't Win an Argument with a Monster
At 60, I’ve come to understand a lot about myself. Through therapy and determination, I’ve been able to fix some of my brokenness. And I’m a writer, so I'm able to articulate the impact of childhood events. I have a pretty solid comprehension of the horrors of mental illness, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Nonetheless, I can only imagine what it was like to be my mom, who didn’t have the access to the help we do today.
