Thoughts Matter. What Time Line Do You Want to Be On?

Thoughts Matter. What Time Line Do You Want to Be On? The dark, demonic and Satanic forces are out in full force like nothing before with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the lack of understanding about what happened to Charlie (e.g., the lack of an autopsy, the lack of clear images, the lack of ballistics), the questionable behaviour of Erika Kirk especially with the new information concerning her past as well as her immediate family's past. . . there are so many inconsistencies regarding this case, it can make your head spin. I am assuming that's what these demonic forces wanted - knowing that social media would "fly with it" and many would come up with their own theories creating mass confusion. But, it is true, the inconsistencies, the speed to move forward (almost like the need to hide Charlie) and the strange videos. Take for instance the reel of Charlie's body in the coffin. Erika's hands endowed with her rings stroking Charlie's embalmed hands; t...

How's Your Mental Health?


I don't follow Kim Karsashian but when mental health issues pop up in the news, I am all ears. Apparently, Kim took to social media to rant about Kanye's erratic behavior expressed from his bipolar disorder, but later deleted the posts and then sent a powerful message to her followers asking them to give her family some space to work through their issues.

What is bipolar disorder? Type I, II and cycothymia. The difference is in their severity with type I having the most extreme manic episodes (elevated or irritable mood, intense energy, racing thoughts, exaggerated behavior) while type II has more depressive episodes, is more difficult to diagnose (most people are diagnosed with having depression), and individuals are more prone to suicide. Cyclothymia is a mild form of bipolar. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II a few years ago. I was prescribed some medications that did nothing for me except cause problematic side effects. So I went off of them. I learned to manage my symptoms with self-awareness, breathing, and sitting with the feelings. It can be difficult, but self-awareness is key.

What triggers manic episodes? Periods of high stress such as a death, working long hours, and the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic can do it. When stress becomes overwhelming and prolonged, it can trigger various mental health problems, and if you experience a bipolar disorder, PTSD, or depression, it can increase erratic behavior, somatic sensations such as body pain and fatigue.

How can I help myself? It's more important than ever to stay aware of your self-care needs, and to make sure that you take the time to tend to whatever triggers (e.g., emotions or recurring thoughts) comes up. Staying on top of your needs may not prevent triggers during this time, but it will lessen any emotional and mental chaos and uncertainty.

If you need support, it's important to reach out. Be kind to yourself. It's a difficult time right now.
