Holdin ground and not going to therapy..

'be sane'.

Have been told by good friend and HATAS worker that I need therapy, meds but I am ok so not obliging them, sorry.  Am handling stress from where live(people obnoxious), being poor, unemployed, having disabilities, living in pain, being alone a lot, lonely, no friends, family here,etc.

Local gal, 18, convicted for killing her father. Shot him with  gun. Was 17 at time. Sad. She claimed self defense. She had used his credit card and he was not too happy about it. Again, shows the importance of how mental health treatment, therapy needs to be readily available to all so that people who need help get it before they snap and hurt others.

Another shooting..

'stay or get sane'.

opens our eyes to the need for providing affordable mental health treatment for all. Yes, 'insanity' is overrated or rather, not making this a prioriy is just plain stupid. In these stressful, economically taxing times with foreclosures due to job loss, the break down of the nuclear family, wide spread divorce, depression, isolation due to technology and it's fast pace, warring nations, crime, violence and so on..We are put upon daily in countless ways, bombarded by all this stimuli. Easing our minds is an oasis and answer.  How do we do this? Try affordable ways and not just paying a shrink for  100 an hour. Yoga, meditation, deep stretching, breathing, juicing, walking, biking, listening to calming music, swimming, going for a stroll in the woods, hanging with  our pets, minimizing cluttering, letting go of some of our possessions that really possess us  are all possible options. 'here's to your health!'

Reality tv and violence

seem to go hand in hand as evidenced by shows like Bravo's 'Vanderpump Rules'(inferring Kristen is borderline),'Shahs of Sunset's 'Gigi(could be borderline), 'Housewives of NJ',(Theresa's bro and hubby,Danielle,Theresa fights),RHOA,(Apollo beating on Brandon, Now arrested for fraud.) to name a few examples. These shows are getting more and more like Jerry Springer. What is it about these venues and us that we  need to watch this crap? It is reminiscent of the old days and Rome and it's gladiators and the arena whre we had them fight each other with wild beasts in the wings nipping at their heels like in "Gladiator' movie with Russell Crowe.

And what about the Kardashians who replaced our obsession with no talent Paris Hilton? (yes she and kim are models and now they are into fashion)Now new generation of this brood is here in Kendall and her strutting down runway at NY's fashion week in her barely there clothing. Her and sis have new fashion line at Pac Sun.

Let us not forget Brandi Glanville and her drinking,bad behavior and now she has a 2nd book out after her first 'texting and tweeting'..
