We Are Normal, Don't Allow Your Mind 2 Tell You Any Different...

[AngelasReady4aChange]

What a beautiful morning, even though it's cold... Good morning to all you beautiful and amazing people. No matter what your mind tells you, you are not different, you are normal and this mental illness monster is going back to hell where it belongs. We are God's creation and He wants us to enjoy life and enjoy it abundantly.

How do I get rid of it?

It's not an overnight thing that's for sure. You have to start doing something or multiple things to begin occupying your mind and thoughts. After I received treatment and still take medicine I returned to school, I work 40 hours a week, and I exercise. I keep busy, and that doesn't give my mind time to boggle on foolish thoughts. Mental health illness is a mind game. It's a chemical in the brain that becomes unbalanced, and it's abnormal. The best thing to start out doing is medication and go from there. I did pick up an unknown passenger along the way to recovery, and it had me convinced I'm fearful of having my blood pressure checked and I don't even have high blood pressure. Mental health can come at you off guard and out of nowhere for no reason. I got me a blood pressure wrist cuff, and I have just begun to start taking my blood pressure whether is frightens me or not. Also, Paco that is on this site told me to stand in front of the blood pressure machine at Walgreens and wait till my anxiety calms down and make myself stand there until I'm calm and then take it. I will start that next week. This unwanted passenger has got to go because I refuse to live my life around something that controls me. I'm the leader of my life, not an unknown passenger who only exist in mind.
