    Game changer

    On Thursday this week I had an appointment at my psychiatric facility with a group called BHH which stands for behavioral health home. They are group that's going to help me with my physical health because they realize that physical health is impacting my mental health. The appointment went incredibly well. They asked me a whole bunch of questions and took me quite seriously and took my vitals and then we talked about my diabetes and my high blood pressure and some other things. They gave me some supplies that I really needed that I had trouble because I couldn't afford them on my own. They gave me a blood pressure cuff, a glucometer, and a smartwatch. This is a real game changer for my health because I needed support that I didn't have prior to this. I think this might be the start of of turning a corner and getting better. Fingers crossed

    I am new here!

    My name is Samuel. I have been diagnosed with 20 different illnesses and/or diseases over the years. The last one, early stages of Alzheimer’s. I am emotionally drained most days. It feels like my memory is being erased, besides having problems communicating and process thoughts, emotions, and ideas, etc. The other issues worsen the situation as these still need to be managed, but they have a severe impact on my mobility, comfort, and other human basic needs. Anyway, thank you for listening.

    Need advice

    Just moved into an apartment. There are only 3 apartments so I thought that would b great. I’ve been living in my own home for last 7 years but things started going wrong and I couldn’t afford to do all the repairs so I lost my home. Then I actually found this apartment I can afford. The neighbor on the right side is very nice and we get along good. The one on the left won’t even speak to me and is calling the landlord about everything. I’m very quiet person unfortunately I don’t do much but watch tv with my dog. She has been able to bark and play all her life-she’s 14. She has really quieted down a lot. I do have a shock collar but with her being so old I hate using it. Now I’m like a prisoner in my home afraid to move or leave house because she will bark when I leave. But I do have camera to watch and she quits when I’m gone. It is really getting my anxiety going bad and my blood pressure is awful 170/89. I never have high blood pressure so I am frightened what will happen.
    What can I do? I’ll never find another apartment this price. I just can’t get rid of my dog I’ve had her entire life. Help??

    Disability

    Anyone willing to share their experience going on disability? I am really struggling to work and have been unemployed a lot more than I've been employed... I have Bipolar I disorder, Autism, Complex PTSD, generalized anxiety, OCD, ADHD, learning disabilities, a tic disorder, and a personality disorder. Plus eating disorders and addictions that I am working on recovering from. In addition, I am having some physical health concerns and am going through gender transition. No wonder I'm overwhelmed!

    Mind body balance

    #Selfesteem

    Healing and a feeling of personal wholeness only occur when the mind, body, and spirit are in balance. Balancing them all is necessary for a happy and fulfilled life. And in moments of crisis—especially in moments of crisis—it is vital for you to be vigilant in protecting that balance.

    All three are connected: the mind, body, and spirit. Weakness or imbalance in one of these can negatively affect the others. For example, severe emotional stress of the mind can cause high blood pressure and other illnesses in an otherwise healthy body. Similarly, physical illness or injury can cause depression in a usually healthy mind.

    Healing intention is a conscious mental choice to improve your health or the health of another. It includes the expectation of improved well-being and the hope that the desired health goal can be reached. It also includes the understanding of personal meaning in your life and work, even when those two worlds may seem blurred during a quarantine.
