Mental Illness;; Other's Connecting or Control

  

 There are many people with mental health issuess have family and friends who think  they know and understand their issuses.   Most of the time they don'tt.

My issues change from day to day.  It's different than it was 5 or 10 years ago.  Used to, my isusess came to visit around the same time my Aunt Flo did.  Evan after I had my hystorectmy, I was still following the same clock

Hpwever, as I've gotten older, I'm' having more emotional espidoes.

There are also becoming moew serve.

Others think that's a reason of why and when your mental issuses "strikes". 

I think this occurs for a couple of reasons; I think they want to make a "connection" with their loved ones.

But, I also think people yerning to be in "control".  If you are in contol, you don't have feel resposible for your loved one mental health issues. You can't conrol  When, where or why a mental health isusse occurs, amd that DRIVES people crazy; especially for those who are "TYPE A".

Unfortunately, you can't control a mental illnes any more than you can control other illness.

Happy New Year!

The holidays are officially behind us and unfortunately, I suffered some mental episodes.  I am highly embarrassed by this. 

One of the things about my mental illness is that I truly believe that these episodes will never happen again.  I try to convince others of this too.

You can only promise people something so many times before they stop believing you.

It's not so much they stop believing you as it is the fact that they stop getting their hopes up that you will change.

They are protecting themself from getting hurt again. (I truly never realized this before I wrote this sentence.)

People have a hard time understanding themselves, let alone understanding others.

Sometimes, most times, I see where others are trying to protect themselves as them rejecting me.

This is when I need to run, lock myself in my prayer closet and stay there until GOD has strengthened me again.

Be patient for my next blog, I may be in there for a while.😊🥺
