Healing by feeling

-

Emotions and feeling are messages from our true self.

If we stand on broken glass, we get a message of pain. This message means, please inspect and clean the wound, and be more careful where you're going!

Emotions are no different to this sort of message. If you are unhappy then this is a message to make a change. If you are happy, this is your true nature telling you that you are right on track.

Every time we suppress an emotion, we are ignoring our true self or true nature. Learning to listen to ourselves is key to recovery.

All these messages we receive are useful, ESPECIALLY the unpleasant messages! Our true nature knows what we really need. Depression comes from when we constantly override these messages. You see our true self will shout louder and louder until it's heard. Depression is the loudest shout in existence!

This whole process of total authenticity requires a lot of self-compassion.

I hope my message to you might alleviate some suffering. Please message me if you want to talk about this idea.

Thanks :)

Better Out Than In

-
I haven't blogged the last few days or so. This is because I've been busy. However as I say down to write something I realised that I didn't have much to say today. I think this is because I have emptied a lot of pent up anger and frustration on this blog so far and this has emptied me a lot. I feel much better having written a lot of stuff down in this blog. Quite a few people had told me to start writing my thoughts and feelings down, as they had also found it very beneficial. So if you aren't doing so already I'd definitely recommend the cathartic process that is known as blogging. However any form of writing is good. One friend of mine said that her depression lifted when she started writing poetry about how she felt. Her poetry is often quite witty and it helps her laugh at tough situations, as well as helping her release the pent up energy. So a short blog today. Try writing and let me know how you get on.

Sometimes We Can't Be Authentic?

-
Sometimes We Can't Be Authentic? I had a friend say to me that she wanted to be fully authentic, however sometimes she felt that society wouldn't let her. The example she cited was in regards to the electoral roll (in the UK it is a legal requirement to sign up to it, or so it seems). She didn't want to vote so she didn't see why she had to fill it in, fair enough. Her point was that she felt authentic to not fill it in, but the government would fine her a lot of money if she didn't so she felt like she couldn't be authentic now. However the reality is, that no matter what happens, we can always be authentic. In the above case, she would simply need to be authentic in relation to learning about the fine. This is just new information that is added in to the mix. She would now just be authentic with how she reacts with all the available information. So we can always be authentic. Being authentic doesn't mean that things always go as we want. It's...

Frank Bruno Criticises NHS

-
Frank Bruno (Ex-British Boxer who suffers from mental health issues) has criticised the NHS for their poor treatment of people with mental health issues. This completely echoes my experiences. I believe that removing stigma and campaigning against the current lack of care provided by the NHS and psychiatrists will help to improve matters.
