I know for me, it’s helpful to identify some warning signs that I’m headed to a dark place. I value my stability and by identifying warning signs, it can help prevent slips or relapses in symptoms. For me, my biggest warning signs are over-committing to things and increasing my substance use. What are some of yours? I find brainstorming together can help others who may have trouble identifying their warning signs. Feel free to share yours in the comments! #MentalHealth #Bipolar1 #BipolarDisorder #BipolarDepression #PTSD #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #Cancer #ADHD
Overthinking often leads us into a spiral of unnecessary stress, taking something small and turning it into a full-blown problem. The more we dissect and analyze every situation, the more we invent issues that don’t even exist.
Next time you find yourself doing this, ask yourself: Is this thought helping or hurting me? If it’s creating more anxiety than clarity, it’s time to stop. Try distracting your mind with something productive. Whether it's going for a walk, practicing a hobby, or engaging in a conversation, refocusing your energy will help prevent overanalysis.
I can't emphasize enough the value of mental health videos to help with this ability. But everyone has their own path. How do you stop your mind from overanalyzing? Share a tip that works for you and let’s build a toolkit to help each other live with more clarity and ease.
Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.
The last video I made was about 3 tips to help manage anxiety in the moment. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

This lady is my former roommate from another life before I landed in FL. We have sense become very good friends over the years. There were 3 of us + Mary's mom. This is not Mary's or her mom. Mary & I are sisters, besties & prayer partners. Our friend just wants to make it to November 2nd for her 50th birthday.
She has Cancer & she's on Hospice. She's cool with all this. It's gone into her knees & she can't walk now. And she's just ready. I've done hospice in the past. It's similar to preparing to close a business because it's the thing to do. So we too are preparing for her fair well for now.
Mary is one sharp gal. Amy's in excellent hands. Mary is as good as me with all this. We've stuck by each other. This is TX culture in action even over the miles. So, it's Saturday night & this is what Mary & I do we call each other & line-up our peeps to be prayed for. Not all our prayers are Kosher, some of we get dirty in we mean business on behalf of those we pray for.
Amy is on detour at the moment in a very fine hospital. Peeps if your loved ones are on hospice watch them like a hawk. Is avocate best care for them. Even on hospice in TX anyway you can be made comfortable by any means. Her care won't stop anything it will slow things down though. I'll keep you posted.

As I’ve posted before I am currently awaiting blood test results to try to understand what’s happening to me. Please, if you have any input on this I’d love to hear. Chronic full body pain for 24 years. Told FIBRO. Which I believed especially after having my 1st flare immediately after a knee replacement. I just had my second and much more severe flare after leaving my job of 10 years and having an emotional reaction to it. Sounds just like FIBRO right. Well I’m on week 4. The lingering affects are full body stiffness pain. I have swelling and stiffness in my fingers and have been diagnosed with Erythromelalgia which will have an underlying cause diagnosis. THATS what I’m worried about. FIBRO has never affected me this way. The flare caused many new severe symptoms and I don’t know if they will subside or if this is the me. Looking for validation that allllll this could be FIBRO and maybe not anything worse (blood or bone marrow cancers/lupus/Polymelalgia/Myotosis etc.).
THEN. In the condition I’m in and I don’t have ANY follow ups til January. That’s unacceptable!!!!! I feel like I’m going nuts!!!!
Thx in advance!!!!!
Worrying can be an exhausting habit, draining us of energy that could be used to build the life we truly want. When we focus on worrying, we give power to fear and doubt, keeping us stuck in a cycle of inaction and stress. But what if we redirected that same energy toward something more powerful—something that helps us thrive instead of just surviving?
✨ Instead of spending your energy worrying about what could go wrong, use that energy to believe in what’s possible. Create new opportunities, love fiercely, and allow yourself to grow. Every ounce of energy you use to believe in yourself, your dreams, and your capacity to change is energy well spent.
🌱 Today, choose to work on healing. Imagine the glow you’ll feel when your energy is focused on positivity, growth, and self-compassion. Let go of what you can’t control, and use your power to heal, evolve, and attract the life you deserve. 🌸 How will you redirect your energy today? Drop a comment and let’s inspire each other to believe and grow!
