Call a supportive friend

Watch your favorite movie

Learn something new

When you are at your desk too long and do not leave for a break, you are more likely to be affected by depression. Try to take a walk outside even if it is just five minutes. You will be amazed what a difference it makes.

As, in September we observe both #nationalsuicidepreventionawarenessmonth and #nationalrecoverymonth , I reiterate that I am happy to share my experiences and #recovery journey. ⁣ ⁣ It's important to note that the 'Recovery' in National Recovery Month denotes #addictionrecovery #substanceuse #alcoholism as well as #mentalhealth recovery. There is a great deal of hope for everyone. Always. ⁣ ⁣ Life can be a cruel and nasty place, but there are people who work incredibly diligently to help save people's lives. In my life, organizations like @providenceoregon and @bridgestochange combined with my family and support system work actively to keep everything up and running while providing a lot of support toward trying to achieve psychiatrict & emotional balance. ⁣ ⁣ #mentalillness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #psychology #psychologist #psychiatry #psychiatric #suicide #suicideawarness #suicideprevention #suicidepreventionmonth #suicideawarenessmonth (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiD28vVB9nA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What is an addiction, and how do I know if I have one?

Hello and welcome to a small part of something greater than myself,

something I made for you.

I’m

glad you’re here.

I imagine you read that, and never paused

to let it sink in,

you didn’t allow yourself to

feel it.

So let me help you,

feel it.

Unlike most people and organizations, concepts and ideals,

I’ll give you another chance, in fact, I’ll give you unlimited chances, unconditionally.

Feel it.

I’m

Glad

You’re

Here.

But, I must ask, what brought you here?

What compelled you to continue reading this post?

You’re either connected to someone who has/had an addiction,

Or you are the one with an addiction.

Perhaps you wonder,

Why the bluntness? I don’t know that I have an addiction, what a bold assumption from an online stranger.

Bold I may be, in this moment, but I can wager there is some nagging tendril that visits you when you least expect it, tickling your mind coldly– in still moments where your thoughts become something nearly tangible. This tendril, this ghost that haunts you, it whispers that you are in the grips of something seemingly impossible to get out of.

You’re in way too deep.

In fact, I think you have become close to a professional at banishing your ghost.

I’ve been haunted too, and I know that they don’t stay banished for long. Our unconscious and subconscious mind begs it, summons it to come back to save us from

Ourselves.

That’s my guess at least. So, you are one of two sides on the same coin– or chip, whichever you find connection in.

Now that we’ve established that you’re trapped, hopelessly.

I hope you allow me to show you how to create

keys.

One for you,

One for me,

(Because helping you helps me)

One for all the rest of us trapped in keyless cages.

To make the key for your keyless cage, I have to first fashion one, to teach, to be an example; shaping its body with my words.

Words of experience will shape the bow of our key,

Words of strength will shape the blade,

Hope will shape the shoulder,

And your own experience, perspective, and individuality will shape the unique cut of the key’s “teeth”.

Occasionally, I will provide you with scholarly, peer-reviewed research and my own counseling professional opinion which will become the tip.

Now then, back to our first question, and the question that led you here and kept you here.

Do I have an addiction, and what is addiction?

Are you ready for the answer?

Probably not,

And that’s okay.

But I pray that you

Read this anyway.

You already know the answer.

In fact, you’re the only one who holds the answer

to the question

you seek.

Maybe it lies

buried,

lies behind denial and,

lies behind so many secrets and justifications,

lies behind failed attempts that you would rather not see,

lies behind

years of lies

to yourself and others.

So then, what can you actually expect from me since I didn’t answer your question.

I’m not here to convince you that you have an addiction, I’m not here to provide you with proof that someone you know has an addiction. Rather, I am here to nonjudgmentally share with you everything I know so that you can form your own educated understanding of who you are and if who you are aligns with who you dreamt of being. I will provide data and research on addiction prevention, recovery maintenance, harm reduction, substance use disorders, and treatment. In addition, I will incorporate the perspectives and stories of those who encounter addiction, this includes individuals with substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, and friends and family members of those with addictions. I will attempt to include multicultural applications and will make a point to have continuous improvement in my own multicultural competence.

Stick around and questions will be answered and research will be provided.

Follow or subscribe, like, comment, and share.

All of this

I request

as a gesture of sacred reciprocity,

our energy exchanged.

Ask questions and I will tell you all that I know or don’t know.

But take heart that you’re not alone.

If you made it this far,

Take a small token

Of gratitude

From someone who is

Glad

You

Are

Here.

Gebo,

You are

becoming.

Ready to relieve pain?

While sitting, hamstrings are contracted, which pulls hips and gluteal muscles. This can cause posture imbalances. You may experience low back pain and tension.

Align your right knee above your ankle. The place your left ankle crossed onto your right knee. Keep your back flat. Bend at the waist towards your leg shin. You should feel a stretch in your gluteus and hamstrings. This will help loosen your low back and hips. It will also help alleviate pain. Perform this stretch several times throughout the day, especially if you have a sedentary lifestyle.

During work, I stretch 10-15 seconds on each side once an hour. At home, I stretch up to two minutes each side.

Ezra + Gray

My Debut Novel, Song, is a love story between a Mothman and a burnt-out grad student on the verge of dropping out. It takes place in the foothills of Appalachia in a picturesque little Ohioan town. My series blends legends of the Mothman, European lore/cryptids, hauntings, and local tales of warnings and intrigue.

Gray of the Winged Folk and The Keeper of the Mist and Hills (they/them) has been living in the mountains and valleys of the land for centuries. They maintain the balance between the Folk and the humans, life and death, magic and not. When Gray is not busy with the Well of Essence and balance of life, they are forced to spend an excessive amount of time keeping their brother Indrid and other winged cousins from harassing the locals. Remember the stories of smiling aliens, men in black, and a giant winged birds chasing cars and flying around old factories? The Mothman? That was Indrid and Eamon. As frustrating as their family can be, Gray is content with their life… until they see him, Beloved.

Ezra Williams (he/him), failed poet and doctoral student, is burnt out of teaching, writing, and existing as is. Their thesis project is almost as nightmarish as their committee chair, Dr. Allen. To pile it on Ezra is missing his father’s guidance and love. After a bender on bootleg moonshine, Ezra starts to notice a presence around. In the backyard, in the coffee shop, near the old cemetery. Someone or thing is there. And who left the jar of glowing mushrooms & moss? And what is the wonderful scent that makes him so … aroused?

MHAPI 2022: Exposure

We often forget that exposure predisposes us to a certain way of living. This is very true when it comes to exposure to #addiction, and the continued generational struggle with #substanceuse disorders. #EndTheStigma #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealth

Preface: It might be a strange thing to thing of at first – exposure – and how it might play a role in addiction. We are all exposed to different things, and the internet increases how much we are exposure to, but there is a serious difference in how close and direct that exposure is. Being in the same room as a parent is shooting heroin is not the same as watching someone do it in a movie.…
