Chicago Read Mental Health Center Puns

As someone who is trying to get their mental health back in order, this is the simplest action you can take to improve it. Journalism nowadays focuses on reporting negative feedback to draw in viewers and they will use words to overstate the content or outright mislead depending on the news outlet you follow. You’ll almost never hear positive feedback about the world because by design journalists must report something that will draw in viewers and in turn revenue for their company. There’s a reason news stations will use flashy words in their titles like “slams” or “dies”, or even worse not mention who we’re talking about and keeping it vague such as “leftist presidential candidate” or “Police officer”. It’s to draw emotion from us and force us to dive into the article to get the full context. This is essentially the definition of “click bait”.

Case in point, I recently started listening to my news flash briefing on my Alexa device and literally every single time for the last two weeks it’s something either about COVID or a celebrity who recently past away (many times someone I’ve never heard of). Because of this, I’m planning to turn off my Alexa news flash briefing because it provides no value to my life to inform me about things outside my control. Focus on things that are within your control like your mental health and you will come out stronger.

My question is…how do you deal with people who insist something is wrong with you, when you don’t see anything wrong with what they’re talking about?

I’ll insist mentally I’m fine and I’m still able to be a productive member of society. They insist I’m not and that I need help and that nobody should want to be the way I am (gay).

So what do I do? Where do I go from there?

And then she said I'm your mother I'm ALLOWED to read it. And then i told her, please apologise, what u did is totally not right. And then she just brought up my past mistakes as if I'm still the same idiot as back then.

This is just a minute incident selected from a hill of similar such toxic incidents. How do you deal with a toxic mother like this? Please help, i think i have recently started improving my mental health and she's trying to ruin it for me, every second I'm happy- i should be guilty and ashamed and any achievement of mine will always be overshadowed by my mistakes.

I know this is LONG post, but PLEASE read and SHARE & Share & share.

Dec 5th, I went to the ER (Tanner in Carrollton, GA USA), because my anixety got out of control.
The first person in my isolated room was a security guard, who started yelling at me.
Before the Dr saw me or spoke to me, he wrote a 1013 on me.  He committed me to a mental health facility, where I had NO choice in the matter.

It was
Riverwoods Behavioral Health in Riverdale GA USA, where I went through HELL instead of getting help.

My husband & I was lied to, starting at the ER.

I was locked in the stretcher, during my hour ride in the ambulance.  The driver drove on the side of the road during that ride.  An ambulance driver just wrecked and killed the patient here in Georgia.

After getting to the facility, I was put in an LOCKED room with multi papers to fill out, where NO employee explained anything.
I was put in a Unit with Men, Women, Teens, Alcoholics, Drug Addictes and Homeless.
One patient had a cut open arm, where I could see down in it. They never covered it.

I did NOT receive other meds I take for other health issues.
I needed a Dr order to get an extra blanket.
Yes, they had laundry services but I felt it was better to wear my clothes without using the services.
Wake up time was 0600 and Bedtime was at 2200. I handed over my clothes at 2200 and at 0600 they were not done.  I handed over my pj's at 0600 and did not receive them till 2300.
I ask multi times for disposable underwear, where I finally received them.
My room's bathroom never had  hand soap.
The Community Restroom would run out of toilet paper and paper towels. I would have to clean the community bathroom with hand soap and paper towels before using it.  If I told the staff, they would get to it whenever they wanted to.
My food and drinks were limited and if I ask for more, I would be yelled at.  There were no fresh fruit or vegetables.  After telling them about my special diet, they did not fulfill that request.  I ate enough to get by and lost more weight.  I had to wipe food off the table before I sat at it.  Some of food was not real, it was made from powder. The food temperature wasn't correct, because hot food shouldn't be cold.
I didn't sleep for 5 days, because I was scared I would be raped or killed.
All I did ALL day was color or watch TV.
When my husband started fighting to get me released, they got more mad at me.
He spent multi hours, meeting with up to 7 p

Lol it's been on my TBR for a long time and I'm feeling called to read it next, but I'm wondering if it's a risky move as I've recently been going through one of the hardest times of my life. What do you think?

I wanted to talk here because maybe it's the only place where I can find some hope that Algerians doesn't all think the same about this I am a medical student and I have volunteered in a psychiatric hospital while learning psychology.. I end up discovering a really terrifying illnesses that made me stay up thinking all night.. I met patients that I cried right after talking to them.. like patients who suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.. it was a whole new world where answers wasn't clear and there was mostly no certified cure for those illnesses, it was devastating and painful to know you might never ever be able to fix your patient, while in the process of learning I start talking about with people around me and I was extremely shocked at how many people think that: 1- mental health disorders are not real 2- if people are religious enough they won't have theme 3- everyone who suicide goes to hell

And I couldn't be more sad hearing those things coming from people who have zero interest in actually learning and educating themselves about mental health so for every one out there who is struggling reach for help you are not alone and what you are going through doesn't make you less of human or less of Muslim Now for people who are ready to learn and maybe want to do now I'll explain some for you here as much as I can 1- mental health illnesses are just like any other illnesses they are no different and they are real but just like any other illnesses we didn't know about them, so many people died from diabetes/cancer (سرطان،سكر،الصرع) long time ago before we even give those illnesses names, long time ago maybe before 1700 people didn't know those illnesses and just because they didn't doesn't mean they were right.. you maybe now think to yourself "there is no way someone can hear voices talks to him inside his head" but is you take the time to study about it and learn the biology/genetics behind it you will see the truth for yourself

2-there is nothing that the religious has to do with someone developing a mental disorder, I met someone in the hospital who has a very pure personality and he was a believer and memorized the Qur'an too and he was happily reciting Ayat for us.. even him end up with bipolar disorder and it is a horrible illnesses that no one ever will wish for it 3- not everyone who suicide goes to hell! That's not true I'll give you a simple example People with schizophrenia deals with hallucinations and delusions so let's

I find that sometimes I get triggered by reading so I was wondering if there were any books that have the oposite effect on you or that you go to after being triggered as a safe space!😊

Honestly can anyone say they feel completely safe or comfortable working right now? Schools (and any public closed place) are big carriers of infection rates as we know. Does it affect any daycare or school teachers here ability to work safely and provide assistance to students? What change can happen to provide better outcomes? I know for some teachers and centers there’s no other options but I just wanted to know opinions.

Seeing a lot of posts talk about the lack of support for mental health her at UW. I 100% agree with y’all, it’s not great at all, and specific departments at UW are even worse

A personal experience—I have a mental health diagnosis of anxiety and sometimes when I experience stress it causes intense abdominal cramping that is debilitating to the point that it makes me physically ill. I had a flare up of this abdominal pain during a required meeting I had to attend for my specific program—I had to leave bc I was sick in the bathroom and in so much pain. The person leading the meeting gave me permission to go (lol that I even felt the need to ask for permission, I was NOT well).

The same Friday I received an email that if I missed another meeting I would fail the course and have to retake it. In my program, failing one class would set you back an entire year, delaying my graduation. Of course this had me terrified bc what if I had another pain flare? I felt like I shouldn’t have to choose between taking care of myself and passing a course. I felt so unsupported by UW Madison when this happened.

I decided to apply for a McBurney Visa so I could have on record that I have a diagnosis that may affect my attendance so UW legally cannot penalize me for this again.

If you have a mental health diagnosis (bc tbh who doesn’t right now, shit is tough, that’s okay!!) I would strongly consider applying for a McBurney visa if you are struggling and feeling unsupported by UW/faculty. Your MCBurney advisor will help you figure out what accommodations will be best for you. Mine, for those that are curious, include flexibility with deadlines, attendance, and exams.

If you have specific questions feel free to DM!

Hi, I am 15 years old and am currently at a 15 day training camp with the national team. It is our 12th day hear and we are doing 3 really hard erg test a week and since we came hear I only started 2 of them and even those didn’t finish. I don’t know if I am just subconsciously inventing excuses not to do ergs or am I really hurt. This is my first time with this coach since they are forming the national team and I got invited only because I had a good result at a test back home, so I don’t feel free to talk to him. The other guys have started making fun of me for not doing tests and I feel like coach has already written me of as someone who isn’t serious. This whole training camp I have been mentally completely down and have even started to loose my passion for rowing. As for the reasons why I didn’t do the tests the first week I had a really bad blister on my foot and now I feel pain in my hamstring while erging.

Hello everybody, I’m going through a heartbreak like the rest of you within this Reddit group. I just wanted to say this…please stay alive and please keep your head up. Love is deep and it’s very hard to overcome heartbreak, especially if this is one of your first relationships or even a long term relationship that suddenly ended. Please do not let this one reason be the reason why you feel like you have to drop everything and give up. There is so much to look forward to in this life and the best is yet to come. Yes, there are fucked up people in this world, but I know that you know, you have a good ass heart and can rise above everything. Every obstacle life throws at us, is a test for us to see if we can make out. Trust me, we can make it out. We are all here for each other and we are all going through the same thing. PLEASE continue this life, PLEASE love yourself, and PLEASE stay alive. Life is waiting to begin.

“Continue to live life for those who felt like life was just not enough.”

Mental health is a very important topic to cover when people are dealing with this. If you are out here struggling, you are not alone and you WILL overcome this obstacle.

Feel free to message me as well. I may be repetitive or may not give the most helpful advice, but having someone there that can relate is so much helpful!

You are not alone.

Take care, Ryan a heartbroken 24 year old male.

“If you can’t sleep, perhaps I should make you some tea? Something that will help you have a good night’s sleep. You should probably know that it’s a bit too effective on humans, to the point that you may find that you never wake up again.”

You look at him. “...Promise?”

“What?” he asks.

“What?” You ask back innocently.

I'm a first-year at UCI from out of state. In all honesty, this quarter hasn't been going very well for me, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Although I've dealt with episodes/periods of depression in the past, I always thought I was always past that stage in my life and that college would be the happiest years of my life. But I learned that life doesn't always work out in my favor. In this quarter it feels as if the depression I've felt in the past has not only come back but has been amplified a lot more. I feel more isolated than ever physically, I feel hopeless no matter how hard I try to be optimistic, and I really can't see the light at the end of the tunnel at this stage. I've talked to a few people back home and more specifically about the darker things I've been doing/feeling and they all recommend I seek professional help, and I think I might be ready to take that step.

I've always thought if I worked hard enough, I would be able to suppress my depression, but as of now it feels no matter how many times I try and get back up, it always knocks me back down, and I came to the realization that maybe I should try and beat this obstacle with professional help. I'm not even sure if what's happening to me is serious enough to even seek professional help, or how much of an impact it can make. I've suspected that I might possibly have depression and bipolar disorder, but that's just speculation.

I write this post to ask if anyone else has felt where I am right now. I'm making an appointment with the Counseling Center soon, but in all honesty, I am incredibly nervous about how my friends and family will perceive me in the scenario that I do get an official diagnosis for depression or bipolar disorder, and if that will change the way they treat me. For those who have gone to the Counseling Center for therapy and possibly gotten medication- how helpful was it? How much of an impact did it make on not only you but your relationship with your friends and family?

We, the students, must voice our concerns to faculty in order to make change possible!

This type of discrimination is absolutely and insane, and we need to utilize the power of the collective student body!
