Watch Oprah Winfrey's 'Super soul Sunday'..

and connect wwith your soulful,spiriual side. Your mind,brain,self with thank you! Namaste. I watch it and several preachers like joel osteen,charles Stanley and joyce meyer each Sunday to connect with my inner self,voice.

Away in mass.

Is my home away from home.

All my blogs are going to...

dropaholics.

While many are nutty as...

evidenced by the latest shooting in DC, there is little interest in this blog that has a mental health related  theme. I offers free help to those afflicted written by a person who struggled with this disorder. Sad comment I think o society. What do you think?

Am coping with accusations and charges...

Live sane! 

by seeing therapist and chatting with supportive people often like my good freind Bill,my advocate Karen and housing rep thru HATAS,Leslie. Sent a letter to my accuser and judge asking for leniency and that I would pay back gradually what owe as am innocent and accidentally used his card on file on Amazon for self. Doesn't make me a criminal. Contacted public defender and sent out application for help so now just have to wait and hoe for the best and pray.

Attended Brain injury awareness conference in..

Albany at the Marriot hotel. Was ok,nothing great. Food was good as provided continental breakfast,catered lunch,veggie lasagna and dinner,fried chiken,salad,cheese cake. Displayed and sold my art,jewelry,some Mary kay cosmetics and perfume aquired from yard sale from exrep. Made $25.



Karen,my facts coordinator,advocate,BIANYS and me at conference. 6/2013.

Back in therapy...

Yeh got a new therapist,psychologist. Seems  like a cool dude. I highly recommend this to others as it is good to be somewhat introspective and to have an objective voice to talk to and bounce aspects of our life off of. ALso in my case,it its good to talk to someone as live near no friends,family and gets lonely hear in Albany,NY.

You are stronger than you know...

as this incredible nature video will demonstrate. lions and crocodile against a poor baby buffalo. enjoy!

Borderline (old post)...

moved it from my 'frugal' blog as fits in better here. Borderline Personality Disorder and Me... keeping well: spend time with select family,friends,support groups,chats,online and locally,humor,distract with movie,tv,not triggering),volunteering,cooking nice meal,hugging self,compassion for self,others,prayer,dropping judgement,expectations,comparing,moping,self pity,manipulating,complaining,worry,hypersensitivity,letting go of,making peace with past,forgiving those who hurt us,accept,be honest,courageous,positive,grateful,remember where were before,(replace old negative statements in writing with positive ones,reduce anger,fear with reframing,working self down,staying in day,control addictions,ask for help,company,not enabling helps. All relative. Put inspiring quotes on walls. Peace,God bless,good luck to all of us. Work it, worth it,stronger,better than you know. Brain remembers,we learn in time not to repeat same mistakes and walk down different st. so don't fall in hole again. Is crux of it. Weren't loved so we have to love us. Don't accept others trash just because have issues,maybe poor,jobless,friendless as keep to self to avoid pain or not being understood. No.one deserves abuse. It ends here,now when we say enough and take back that child,person wounded,depend on selves not another as a crutch,learn to and receive love and walk. No shame,not to blame. We didn't cause this but responsible for what do with it. Is like a balloon. By doing techniques I gave you and do myself,we let a little air out of it at a time so suffering lessens and is bearable We are great and survivors. If you are still here,you are doing more right than wrong. Nothing wrong with us,more like what happened to us. Celebrate your survival. When you finally overcome this you are a miracle and learn to love yourself. No one can take that from you. Our journey inspires others to make the same as we fly on the backs of us pioneers just like geese taking turns leading,squawking,til we tire and let our sister,brother lead for a time til we reach our goals. Perfection is an illusion. We are ok right now as are,not defective.We need each other as we are part of a unique flock. We are not crazy but have been exposed to violence,etc. that made us function in maladaptive ways as we couldn't be direct to our abusers. When we find a safe place to live,take the right medicine,find a trauma therapist,meet other BPD peers,begin to use these tools above, the healing begins. Don't expect people who haven't lived this to understand and ask for advice as they can't give it to you. Is like we speak an unknown language. They can have empathy but they need to be in a group to deal with us. We are not bad just very misunderstood.
