A Note:

Good day to all. As many of you know, I am struggling with depression and general anxiety...more intense lately...but you know what? I will win. I am a facilitator of a Resource Community Center (east of Massachusetts). If somebody is from this part of Massachusetts let me know. 

I am so happy to be able to reach others. Sometimes it is overwhelmed, but it is because mental conditions are difficult to explain and more difficult to understand. Advocacy for people who suffer OCD, PTSD, Depression, Anxieties or other disorders or even traumas most take place everywhere, but more important is to learn not to look for pity or sympathy. Education is a great tool to understand ourselves first and then, teach others. The ones who don't understand don't need to be explained anymore. Look for other resources can be use. We just need to get out of bed and feel the present...get out and feel nature, have a picnic by yourself, families or friends. 

Without education, I couldn't cope by rationalizing the process of the crisis, fears, or any other behavior that is not what define us. Lets us wake up and little by little take responsibility of our conditions. Yes, there will be times that we cannot handle anything...so relax and breathe in and out by moving your stomach with every breath instead of your upper body or chest. This can be done 10 times if you can. Slowly calm your thoughts that are useless and feel your soul with a realistic though. Remember that we are responsible for our own conditions but these conditions do not define us. Thank you for reading.
