It is not often that I take the time to write about myself in my blog posts. There are so many things that are much much more fun to write about. Yet, every now and then I have an experience or witness something that moves me to the core of my being. Many who know me may this may find it difficult to read and even more challenging to process and understand. All I can say is that I must write and get this out. I make no apologies. The past month has been one of the most difficult of my life, all fifty years of it. I have been out of touch with everyone, even my best friends and family. For reasons I truly do not understand at all, I have been depressed. No one close to me died, no discernible changes in my relationship status. No lost job or pets.

My practitioner said it could be many weeks before a bed was available for me. Unfortunately, that bed did not open soon enough to benefit me by stabilizing...

Kurt Friese walked the talk and sucked the marrow out of life - Bleeding Heartland : Mike Carberry remembers his friend and fellow Johnson County Supervisor Kurt Friese, who died unexpectedly late last week.

“Maybe if we treated mental illness the same way we do with physical illness, the community would be more sympathetic and caring. Instead of jail, maybe I would have been taken to a place that wouldn’t shut the door on me and watch as I uncontrollably shook my body saying ‘the devil’s inside me.’ Maybe, people would realize judging or generalizing doesn’t give hope to those who suffer from mental illness.” But I was a Victim, Right? | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness : I was twenty-two years old and in my last semester of undergraduate college when I suffered two psychotic breaks. During this time, I was unable to control my thoughts and behavior.
