10. If children see their main-carer parent exhausted, depleted, poverty-stricken, and worried, they may reasonably believe themselves to be a burden. Guilt, and thinking you must not add to your parent's load e.g. by telling them if you're in trouble, isn't conducive to a carefree and emotionally healthy childhood.

8. Main-carer parents are likely to possess the direct knowledge and experience needed to make good judgement calls about the lives & wellbeing of their children. But being relatively powerless and/or penniless makes them less equipped to make those calls, or take meaningful action to improve the lives of their kids.

"While it’s important to highlight problems so that #society can course-correct, when there’s an absence of coverage of responses to problems – what’s improving, where the seeds of positive change are – then a overly-negative narrative becomes counterproductive.

LONELINESS is fuelling the surge in the millions of British people resorting to foodbanks alongside poverty, research by a think-tank revealed.

Polling by the Centre for Social Justice found that foodbank users are significantly lonelier than the general public, with one in five lacking any family or friends for support.

I just don't have the energy or confidence to do social media properly right now.

I wrote a book. It's really good. It has beautiful nature writing, it's smart, it's honest in a way that is rare, it covers many important/difficult themes & it's really funny.

I don't know if threads work well here...

I have a disorder called PMDD (common co-morbidity of ADHD). My PMDD is classed as severe.

For 2 weeks out of every month, my life changes drastically. I get many symptoms, but the main ones are extreme fatigue, brain fog, depression and hopelessness.

Inhaltswarnung: Mental Health Misinformation, Stigma and Victim Blaming. Long Post


I'm not sure how I feel about sharing my mental health and physical disability conditions and info or how much to do it in good taste.

On one hand I'm an extremely straight forward and obsessively honest person. I like sharing because it's genuinely just authentic for me and I also just have nothing to hide. In a way I'm doing it right now.
As well as, it's useful. Speaking up about disabilities can and does inspire others to feel more comfortable and confident about themselves, understanding they're not alone with their difficulties.

On the other hand, the victim card sickens me. I've had enough of being a victim. I've had enough of people feeling sorry for me and of identity based conversations saying that just because I have certain conditions it somehow gives me a greater right for attention or support when in reality so many people have massive difficulties that may not be as clearly diagnosable and still hugely impact their lives and the way they deal with failures and successes.

I am deeply grateful for the many people who have supported me because of my traumas, abuse, physical chronic illnesses and many trauma related mental disabilities. Empathy is powerful and when someone shares the least we can do is listen with open curiosity and kindness.

But if I keep emphasizing how much of a victim I am, I might just be a victim forever. If I keep inviting people to feel sorry for me, I might create a reality in which I'm forever weak. And is it my fault? No. But is it my responsibility to change it? Absofuckinglutely.

I'm already on this path but sometimes I stumble. Sometimes I still use the victim card with myself and others.

The line is thin but critical, between being aware and taking good care of my many disabilities, to letting them disable me completely, or even just, more than they must.

I may forever have times in which I'll suffer from OCD episodes, panic attacks, mental breakdowns and clinical depression. But I'll do my best to limit those symptoms as much as I possibly can and not allow them from avoiding me of a good life.

I will forever have NVLD, but instead of letting it define what I can or can not do, I'll find alternative ways to do and understand anything I need to achieve my goals.

I may forever suffer from IBD and anemia. But I'll do what I can to manage and if I find a way, heal. And as much as possible, as much as healthy, continue my life with those illnesses, and aspire for joy and health as much as anybody else.

I won't beg for government support of any kind, I'll never take a loan ever in my life, I won't depend mentally on loved ones. I know others may have to. I had times in which I had to as well. But as long as I can change my mindset and health to be more capable of full independence, I place my responsibility and focus on doing so.

I'm a fully independent business owner and I am happy. Inconsistently happy, struggling but happy, overly stressed but happy. In love and happy, studying and working what I love and happy. Living a very strange reality impacted by war but happy. And yes, I have illnesses. And yes, I have many disabilities. But as for my identity, I can recognize my illnesses and take care of them, but I am healthy, I am not ill. I can acknowledge and understand my disabilities, I have many differences and many things I can do better than others naturally and many that I am naturally a lot worse at than most people. But I am not disabled. In fact, I'm completely capable of reaching my goals, it just requires different ways which I'm creative enough to figure out.

It's very hard. It's mind shattering sometimes. It's my body crumbling other times. But it's the truth.

So here I give up my victim card in society and in front of myself and consider myself an equally capable human being.

Capable of artistic, financial and wellness growth.

Capable of everything I want, but most importantly - capable of good influence on others through art.

Yours,
Emmanuelle

7 Ways Tech Can Improve Your Mental Health


The image is a digital rendering, possibly an abstract representation of the brain and neural networks. The foreground features a three-dimensional model of a human brain, rendered in shades of purple and blue, with a network of glowing lines connecting its various parts. The background is dark, with numerous upward-pointing arrows and smiling faces scattered throughout the image, all rendered in bright blue neon. These elements appear to be digitally superimposed on an abstract representation of a network, creating an overall impression of dynamism and connectivity. The network of connections appears to pulse with light, which adds to the impression of the brain actively processing information.
Technology often receives bad press for its adverse effects on people’s mental health. But, actually, there are many ways in which your devices can help you improve how you feel, as long as your methods are selected carefully and used in moderation.

I rarely get stressed out by tech (it’s my form of relaxation) but I have been meaning to add more music to my day as generally when I’m driving or shopping I listen to tech podcasts.

Something I can add to this list though (that may work for some) is to try relaxing games like Euro Truck Sim 2 in single or multi-player mode, Snowrunner (similarly you can explore off-road trails with a few friends), or even Red Dead Redemption 2 (in free roaming type game play).

'Tis The Season For Stress and Anxiety?

Should major events we all celebrate such as Christmas be a time of stress, anxiety, and burden when they all could be a positive joyful experience?

Labour's new Mental Health Billl will end people with mental health issues (or crises) being detained in prison cells.... but the introduction of a legal requirement for any mental health patent to have a care & treatment plan shaped around their needs before they are discharged, may cause problems.

The latter sounds like a good idea certainly, but without extensive extra investment in community mental health resources may just slow discharges due to a lack of available support?

I am so glad I gave myself time this morning to listen to Ed Yong's talk from XOXO. https://youtu.be/ddy5uMdzZB8?si=vT8rVEuprpgEhJi4

Huge feels that came up for me about becoming disabled, worrying about my productivity, immunocompromised life under Covid prevention denial, getting well enough to go back to producing but realizing that is not good for me and not necessary, but still some guilt.

In other news:

If you think looking at art has a positive emotional & mental health benefit, there is growing scientific support to back up your feeling(s) about looking at art works.... it is good for you, and can help recovery in medical situations.
