Recognizing Mental Health

Good evening. Tuesday blog. It has a face, a personality, and that has long been hidden as something to be ashamed of and certainly not dinner conversation! I cannot remember a happy time ever, from grade school. I did not know how to relate to much. I believe as part of my mental problems, that I am ADHD. Couple that with bipolar, that was not diagnosed till I was in my 40’s. I suffered quite a few years, silently. Constantly looking for something somewhere to make me happy. It is a vicious cycle. I had all of my happiness right in front of me. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes. I see clearly the gifts I have and the one I lost. I miss him so much. Praise God for setting us on a straight path. Denny and I survived and through recovery, I am able to see clearly, consequences of wrong choices. Whether you did things with a clear mind or not, there are consequences. If I had not recovered, I do not know what his illness and death would have done to me. I am not perfect, I do and say things that are not always the best. I do not get upset with constructive criticism. My family knows that I am still a work in progress! Aren’t we all? At my age, to accept myself right where I am at, is a good thing! I don’t ever want to stop learning. I want to be open to growth in all areas of life. These are all positive moves forward. I am just plain grateful and thankful, for Doctors, Therapists, Counselors and medication. They all work together. Do not be afraid or ashamed to reach out. I was on FaceTime today with my therapist. If any of you need help, the Zeph Center is 24/7. Go to YouTube and check out, Zeph Center Prevention. Watch it in your own home. Countless videos. We are living in very stressful times right now. You are worth it! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
