Mental Health: My Experiences and Needs For Mental Health Support

If you have need of help with any of the issues listed below, please know you can find aid at these places and phone numbers. If you know anyone that needs help with any of this issues, and they seem to need more help than leaning on you for support, understanding and sympathy, and someone to listen to, please offer these numbers to them.  Sometimes as much as we love our friends family and loved ones, they sometimes need more help than we can offer them - and there is no shame in that, for us as the supporters or us as the person in need.  And, there is also no shame in reaching out for help and support. 

As someone who has lived every day of her life Chronically Ill and in Chronic Pain due to many physical illnesses and issues, as well as many mental and emotional illnesses and illnesses, I can tell you that the patients very often suffer in silence, for fear of being misjudged and misunderstood, of being told it “is in our heads” and that “it is just mind over matter”, and of being told that nothing we are feeling is real and that if we just suck it up, we will be fine.  Sadly, this can happen with medical professionals as often as it does with the other people around us. Whether we seek aid and support from our friends and family and loved ones, or our doctors and therapists, or a hotline like below, or if we get some of the help by medications, all any of us ever wants is to be heard and understood.

All we want, and all we need to do, is to finally break through the silences and stereotypes that surround Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain, whether it is physical or mental and emotional. That’s part of why I’ve started talking about my own struggles with my health, because, I wanted to show the people that I care about and love that, because my days are literally indeed a struggle that can change within minutes sometimes, even if I can’t find reasons to smile and laugh <b>all</b> day, I can always find a few reasons to smile and laugh and to keep moving forward <b>throughout</b> each day. -smiles-
