Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week we highlight a new blogger, I Believe in Daffodils.
Here are some basics I’ve learned after one of the drugs I take could not be found in several surrounding cities month after month. This fight to find my drug each month forced me to withdraw and start a medication that is not targeted yet.
If you take Xanax and related drugs or take stimulant medication in the United States you may find yourself without access to your prescription.
The DEA digging everywhere they can to catch doctors who overprescribe and the people who are selling their drugs on the street.
I highly respect what the DEA is doing to prevent overdosing, and arresting doctors who overprescribe Controlled Substance drugs. I was in shock by how dangerous Health Apps can be. In this case, the App referred all its participants to an unlicensed doctor who was overprescribing and even writing prescriptions for those that did not have one. Unless you have a death wish, I would not buy any drugs from Health Apps or Social Media.
If you take one of the targeted medications and have trouble filling your prescription every month because it’s on backorder. DON’T take your anger out on the pharmacy, it is totally out of their hands. Your anger needs to target the problem, The DEA.
Prescriptions for Controlled Substances CAN NOT be transferred to another pharmacy, PERIOD!
Here is the most important action you can take to reduce stress when trying to get your Controlled Substance medication filled. Don’t have your doctor call in a refill yet.
A week before your monthly prescription is due for a refill call your pharmacy to see if they have it in stock. If not call all the other pharmacies in your area to find where there is stock. Then ask your doctor to send in a refill, the sooner the better. You have survived a month but every month you may have to use another pharmacy if you can find it.
The DEA is leaving people who take their drugs legally, from a legitimate doctor left holding the bag. Many like myself can’t find their drug month after month and will find themselves in withdrawal and having to try something close that is not the target now. Your doctor will know.
If you would like to join me in anger, start learning more about the DEA and flood them with messages.
I was reading more about the three officers who shot a mentally ill woman thru the door. The three officers were fired but an investigation into the entire department needs to take place. What I saw on television, got to me.
It brought up the repressed memory of having a non-violent crisis in the front yard. Long story short I had an officer pull a gun on me. I never processed the trauma probably because I was fighting for my life with Lyme winning. I’ve been crying ever since the memory came back and I’ve been in bed crying.
I don’t know when I’ll be active when I stop crying or in August when I meet my new Psychiatrist. It’s deplorable that a woman considered wealthy, with great insurance, and doctors could not check me into a psychiatric hospital last night.
My crying is for all the others who don’t have my resources, what happens to those on the opposite end are often killed during a Mental Health call because Police have no training.
The governor looked into the eyes of all the families of mass gun shootings, promising to do something, no gun control because that’s not the issue. That’s the BS line from all Republicans. So he tells people at their most devastating moment he is going to make changes. HE sure did, he passed a 2 Billion Mental Health Bill and not one penny goes for Mental Health Services. All of the money is being spent to build new jails and jails with Psych hospitals. His stigma against those who are mentally ill says you all belong in jail. That set me on fire!!!!!
I’m going down the drain right now and will post when I can.
Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week we highlight a new blogger, Caffeinated Philosophy.
A digital café for lovers of coffee and cognition to congregate and converse
A place where I share posts on philosophy, psychology, poetry, and fiction. I hope that these posts will act as catalysts of curiosity, stimulating your mind and exposing you to novel perspectives and ideas.
In Texas, we’ve heard our Governor Greg Abbott say repeatedly that gun control was not the issue, we needed more Mental Health support. Here we are a year after the mass shooting at Uvalde and all we’ve heard is the same ole politics.
I had a Mental Health crisis and ended up with a gun pulled on me, very traumatic. I was lucky to be in front of my house and had my phone.
If you have a severe Mental Illness, you never know when you might have a crisis away from home. These tips will help if the Police get involved.
Have a card in your wallet that states:
Your name
What type of Mental Illness do you have
Your contact information or the contact of a family member
Doctors contact information
Wearing a medical bracelet would help since it’s one of the first things Police look for
Why are these tips important so important?
If you have a serious crisis there’s a chance you’re hallucinating, psychotic, or in a state where you are not aware of what you are doing. You’ll probably encounter a Police officer and having the information on you will help Police better understand how to help you.
My personal advice is to never buy a gun or other weapon. You could easily hurt or kill someone if your mind is not stable.
*This post is from 2017 and I’ve updated it to capture the years between 2017 and 2023.
There are times when Chronic Illness can get the better of you. I had such a week resulting in shaving my hair off. I’m no GI Jane but do have a nice head minus the scars from brain surgery.
For the past 13 years, I’ve been a caregiver to my grandparents and spent time in Psychic Hospital twice for ECT treatments. Finding an answer to my heart problem took three years, two cardiologists, and a trip to The Mayo Clinic I had a diagnosis in four days.
The search for ?? (Lyme Diseases) started in 2012 and the diagnosis in 2014. It took two attempts to find a competent doctor and tons of frustration. I’m not driving, my cognitive abilities like balance and memory were taken by Lyme.
Last week I discovered a total knee replacement is required and scheduled for 11/14/17. All the falls from Lyme blew out my right knee.
Wild Crazy Hair
I’m not one to have a pity party but the weight on my shoulders became too much. I gave my husband many reasons why I shaved my head, the truth is CONTROL. I have four chronic illnesses and have to manage my health every day and every day can be different. There are many days I don’t have the strength to bathe, on those days I use medical-grade body wipes.
I’m 54, my mental illness is close to balanced, was looking forward to driving after several years, and most importantly I want to know who I am.
Shaving my head was liberating, a part of the new me came out. I can control some things and have to roll with the punches on others.
Can you imagine coming home from work to find your wife has shaved their head? My husband wasn’t surprised.

Here are a few products I’m in love with right now. I hope you find a new product to add to your household or self-care routine. The list may also give you ideas for a surprise for friends, family, or co-workers.
Olly Heavenly Hair Growth Gummies 60 count
It supports strong, healthy growth with Keratin, Amla, Biotin, and Minerals. They have a Tropical Citrus flavor which tastes good and is not too hard to chew. I haven’t been taking long enough to give you the results. Very affordable compared to other top gummies.
Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick
It softens, hydrates, and protects with a hint of flavor. No gloss or gooey lips, just pure natural goodness. The first products were launched in 1967 and Elisabeth Sigmund trained the first Dr. Hauschka Esthetician in 1971.
Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Body Lotion
The lotion is creamy and soaks in quickly. I love that the bottle stands upside down so the lotion is always at the top, no more squeezing to get to the bottom of the bottle. From Weleda’s website.
“Some cosmetics leech small microplastic beads and liquid plastics, such as silicones, into rivers and oceans, which pollutes the environment. We do not use these substances. Our Body Cleansing Scrub, for example, uses environmentally friendly wax beads made from carnauba and beeswax. We believe that quality and sustainability go hand in hand.”
Prime TV by Amazon
If you are a Prime Member you get so many perks it’s hard to believe for the price. One of our favorites is free Prime TV, it’s loaded with original content, movies for all ages, and series. We’re addicted to The Practice right now. All the regular TV shows have ended for the season, and now we have plenty of shows to watch.
I buy most of my products from Amazon.

I went from 5/11 to 6/10 without an answer about why the Reblog process is changing and how to properly reblog. It’s a long read, you can skip down to the end of the post if you already know the new steps and my comments are at the end.
Reblogging Gets a Refresh
June 8, 2023
Dave Martin
Reblogging is a way to show appreciation for another creator’s work while also providing your own audience with a valuable piece of news, work of art, or thought-provoking opinion. We recently made a few significant improvements to the experience of reblogging to make it more customizable for you while also ensuring the original creator gets the credit they deserve.
What’s new with reblogging
1. Freedom to choose your title
You’ll now find the title field empty when you’re taken to the editor to reblog a piece of content. Rather than automatically using the original post’s title, you’re free to add your own flair. This allows you more creative freedom and reassures your audience (and the original creator) that you’re not simply passing off another person’s work as your own.
2. No more default featured image
We’ve also changed the automatic import of the featured image. This helps avoid the appearance of content duplication while also helping you manage your site’s media storage limits more effectively. That doesn’t mean you’re stuck with text only, though — you can still add your own featured image to the reblogged post.
3. A new way to embed
Lastly, we’ve replaced the Quote Block with the core Embed Block for the post you’re reblogging. This change provides a more accurate representation of the original content and makes for a nice visual experience for your readers. Here’s what it looks like:
How do I reblog a post from the WordPress.com Reader?
Reblogging a post within the WordPress.com Reader is a simple process. Here’s how it works:
1. Navigate to the Reader by clicking on the “Reader” tab in your WordPress.com dashboard.
2. Browse through the posts until you find one you’d like to reblog. Click on the “Share” (arrow) button located at the bottom of the post.
3. Select the site that you’d like to reblog this post to.
4. You’ll be taken to the editor, where you can add your own title along with any additional thoughts or comments.
5. When you’re ready, click “Publish” to share the post on your own blog.
A more enjoyable experience for all
We believe these changes will make reblogging a more respectful and gratifying experience for everyone. As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts. Try out the new process and let us know what you think!
Happy reblogging!
Cool! You are now subscribed. Now you can check your email for more details and how to manage the subscription.
—————–
I read thru the replies and many didn’t even know they could turn off the reblog button! What does that tell you? The Reblogging changes were to satisfy a few claiming reblogging is PLAGERISM. It seems counterintuitive to make changes to a process that already worked.
I’m asking EVERYONE ON WORDPRESS to contact a Happiness Engineer via email or chat and tell them you want notifications on pressing information including systems changes pushed thru the Notification section and not by email.
I’m not down on WordPress enough to leave but I would like them to send us news about upcoming projects, projected dates, what’s is the purpose of the change thru the Notifications, not an email. They can push information to us and we are less in the dark. After the project is finished a new notification goes out with how to apply the changes.
In life, we all go through challenging instances. Life isn’t full of happiness all of the time and there will always be certain issues that we have to deal with. Whether we’re talking about health-related issues or something to do with our line of work, nothing ever goes as smoothly as we’d like. This might seem like a terrible thing because we’d all prefer a hassle-free life, but that’s not how things work. We need a few negatives in our life in order to really enjoy the positives. The chances are that your family will be going through a few issues at some point in their lives, and it’s up to you to make sure that you support them and provide positivity along the way.
Whether you are dealing with elderly parents that need extra help or somebody in your family has gotten a little ill, there’s always something you can do to help out. Helping out in a physical sense is obviously very important, but there’s so much you can do from a mental standpoint, too. While the right mental attitude won’t solve all of your problems, it can put you in a much better place to deal with the issues at hand. If you are happy and content during certain instances, you will make life so much easier. If you have family members that are going through a negative time right now, here are a few ways you can nurture positivity and show amazing support:
When rough times occur, it’s so important that you partake in active listening when communicating with family members during challenging times. You have to put yourself in their shoes and really understand where they’re coming from. This will help to show compassion. Let them express themselves without feeling judged and do not interrupt. When you foster this kind of supportive and empathetic environment, you help to create a foundation for them to really express themselves and improve.
Encourage Healthy Coping Mechanisms And Overall Self-Care
Coping mechanisms are all part of one’s recovery and dealing with issues. The problem is that a lot of people delve into the wrong kinds of coping mechanisms. It’s up to you to help them to develop healthier habits. Encourage them to engage in activities that will make them happier while bringing in a lot of joy and relaxation. Exercising, pursuing hobbies, and spending time outdoors can all contribute. Offer support whenever you can in terms of their self-care activities. It’s also wise to help them with the likes of journaling and seeking our professional help. When they have these kinds of outlets, they are provided with a safe space to process their emotions and understand more about themselves during tough times.
Look For Professional Help And Resources In Appropriate Areas
There will only be so much you can do to help them in this world. There will be times when you have to solicit help from professionals and those who are experienced in certain fields. If they are dealing with mental health issues, encouraging them to speak to a counselor would make a lot of sense. If they need specialized care, such as dementia care treatment, you might need to explore The likes of memory care facilities or home care facilities. If they have access to professional resources, it will help them to navigate rough times more conveniently.

I want to give a special thanks to Publisher Soraya Nair of Trigger Publishing for sending me Work It Out by Fiona Thomas. The book is so relevant in our lives today.
About the Author

“A brilliantly honest reminder about how to control your online space and not let it control you” – Emma Gannon, Sunday Times bestselling author
“Fiona writes about mental health with fearless honesty and a quick wit. So much will resonate with so many” – Yvette Caster, host of Mentally Yours podcast
Fiona Thomas was your average ’80s baby. She grew up without an iPhone, used actual landlines to make calls and didn’t have the luxury (or perhaps the curse) of Facebook during her adolescent years. But though her childhood took place in an analogue world, she found herself suffering from the same problems many young people face today: the race for perfectionism, high levels of anxiety, a fear of success.
After an unfulfilling university experience, a stressful beginning in a management career and a severe case of impostor syndrome, Fiona suffered a nervous breakdown in her mid-twenties. Amongst therapy and medication, it was the online community that gave Fiona the comfort she needed to recover and find a career that made her happy.
Through her own experience at the time and with the benefit of hindsight, Fiona provides signposts for the reader to help them to understand:
the importance of the right type of connection, both on and offline, not only with others but with oneself
how connection can aid in recovery
that finding the right career can help to enhance our wellbeing and mental health
how and why purpose and wellbeing are interlinked.
Peppered with listicles, questions to ask yourself and key takeaways, Work It Out perfectly combines first-person lived experience with practical advice. Fiona shows us how to prioritize our mental health by finding the right purpose-centered career and how the internet has helped to make that possible.
My Thoughts
Our lives are surrounded by Social Media if we let it and Work It Out shows you how to keep Social Media from taking over your life, and how to make real connections. Fiona share her experience with mental health challenges including a nervous breakdown and how along with medication the Social Media community gave her the support and comfort she needed.
Thru her personal experiences, she discusses how to understand the importance of the right type of connection, how and why purpose and wellbeing are interlinked, and many other ideas on connections.
I love the section on questions to ask yourself and Fiona provides examples of how to have balance in our life.
Work It Out is a first-hand experience of Fiona’s most challenging times and how she kept moving forward until she reached her goals and much more. When you see all the publications she’s been published in you will go WOW!
Work It Out is a book for adults who have experienced challenges and have a desire to find balance in their life and how to make better connections. Who doesn’t need a book that provides support you know and later, it’s a bookshelf treasure for sure.
I highly recommend Work It Out, I learned a great deal from reading the book.

Chronic illness affects millions of people worldwide and is defined as a long-lasting health condition that may not have a complete cure. These conditions can range from mild to severe and can manifest in various forms, including diabetes, peptic ulcers, heart disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), asthma, and more. Also, although the term ‘chronic illness’ typically refers to conditions that are not autoimmune in nature, all autoimmune conditions, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), psoriasis, Graves’ disease, etc., are chronic. If you or someone you care about is living with a chronic disease, the following steps for coping with chronic illness aim to empower you with knowledge and insight so you can better understand and manage your condition.
Those who live every day grappling with chronic illnesses inevitably encounter diverse sets of challenges to face both physically and mentally. Regardless of how symptoms manifest from person-to-person, mental health is an equally important aspect to consider in the overall well-being of those with chronic illness. Thankfully, the following strategies can help navigate these obstacles and, when applied, can ultimately lead to an improved quality of life.

A hugely practical and inspiring self-help guide, Own Your Awkward will help you handle those awkward conversations around mental health. Michelle Morgan blends research and personal experience to help you tackle those topics, whether in the workplace or with family and friends. Let’s be honest – it can be really awkward talking about our mental health! Whether you’re offering someone support or looking for ways to help yourself, these conversations can feel difficult, embarrassing and complex. In Own Your Awkward Michelle Morgan, Mental Health First Aid Ambassador, trainer and speaker explores why we feel awkward and shows us how to talk more openly about our mental health – and how we really can embrace our awkward. Through her own story of burnout, clinical depression and anxiety, combined with the lived experience of others, Michelle explains how you can transform those tricky moments into your power using four key cornerstones – confidence, capability, communication and compassion, to help reframe your story. You’ll learn how to start those all-important conversations, with clear steps and practical advice. It’s time to get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable, love your awkward and have better and braver conversations about mental health.
My Thoughts
There are self-help books that sound like a repeat of what you’ve read and there are self-help books that have quality content you can apply right away. Own Your Awkward is one of those self-help books that you keep on your bookshelf to read again or to share with others.
If you struggle to talk about mental health, like so many of us do, Michelle’s book will coach you on how to handle awkward conversations with the people in your life. Her professional achievements and her own mental health challenges make her the perfect person to write this book.
I highly recommend Own Your Awkward for anyone who needs support for themselves or to help others. This book is one for the whole family to read as it aligns everyone’s knowledge and will continue to help as each becomes more comfortable talking.
I could have used the help of Own Your Awkward as I struggled with my mental illness diagnosis at 19 years old.

Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week we highlight blogger, Saturday Morning Reflections.
My reflections on the week past accompanied by music and memories
My family is unconventional, furry and well “normal” although that is debateable…
They assist (…yes lets go with that)with the day to day functioning of our tribe. I have no need of alarm clocks or a doorbell. Lilly knows when the farmer next door lets out his geese and Jake is always on the lookout for anyone stopping by or even looking up at the window. He assumes (incorrectly I might add) that I can’t see what he sees.
We’ve seen so much war in recent years that it wears us down but most of us have not seen a World War. I pray we don’t have the next WWIII, anytime soon. Many gave their lives in WWI, WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam, and we can’t forget those who died without a memorial in what I call “The Desert Wars”.
WWII Memorial Washington D.C.
Korean War Memorial Washington D.C.
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall
Why don’t we have a Memorial Wall for the soldiers who fought in more recent wars? It’s very overdue!
Our country’s politics may be divided but America can not survive without you and your family’s support. No one died in vain, you died for your country.
Thank you so much for serving our country. We can’t thank you enough for giving your life to save mine. What a great blessing.
Statistics indicate that juvenile crimes increase by 35% in the summer months. As if that’s not bad enough, the ever-present allure of screens means that the average teen now spends over seven hours a day behind electronic devices during summer. These alarming statistics make parents wonder how to engage their kids during those long, hot months. If you’re a worried parent, here are four ways to keep your teenager busy during summer.
A study revealed that summer jobs can reduce teen crime by 43%. Therefore, a part-time job is an excellent way to keep your teenager busy. It equips them with many useful skills while keeping them away from trouble. Moreover, a paid part-time job will teach them about financial management at a very early age. They can learn how to save money, buy basic things, and be independent. The right job will teach your child how to work with people and manage their time. Plus, the skills they acquire will stick with them for life.
Explore artistic and creative outlets
Summer break provides an ideal opportunity for teenagers to explore their creative sides and develop new skills. You can encourage your teenager to pursue artistic activities after getting a job. Depending on their time, your teen can combine their job with a creative activity. Consider enrolling your child in a summer art class, a creative writing workshop, or a music class. These activities keep them occupied and foster self-expression, boost confidence, and provide a platform for personal growth. And believe it or not, allowing your teen to explore their artistic side can create a healthy outlet for stress and improve their emotional well-being.
Encourage volunteering and community service
Giving back to communities through volunteering is one of the most emotionally-rewarding ways for a teenager to spend summer. Some studies have shown that volunteering instills a sense of responsibility and empathy while enhancing self-esteem and personal growth. It also gives them a sense of purpose, even at a very young age. So, encourage your teenager to identify causes they are passionate about and connect with local organizations that offer volunteer opportunities. From environmental cleanup projects and community service to volunteering at a local shelter, these activities will keep your teenager busy and contribute to their development.
Let them join a local club or group for teens
Depending on where you live, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a positive local club or youth group for your teenager. You can find a scouting club, an academic, agricultural, or faith-based group for your teenager to join. Regarding a faith-based group, for example, your teenager can join a local church group for teens or youth, created to nurture spiritual growth, faith, morality, and good behavior. Of course, some religious institutions have a bad rap for sexual misconduct and abuse, so conduct a background check before signing up your child. And should the worse happen, don’t hesitate to let a religious institution sexual abuse lawyer help you.
Being involved in a car accident doesn’t just come with trauma at the time, it can cause all kinds of stress after. You will need to deal with the other person, your car, finances, and more. Hence, it is good to understand what to do after a car accident to restore your health and attain the best outcome.
Whether your car incident was a life-changing accident or resulted in a minor injury, it is still important to seek the right help and take the necessary steps to help you regain your mental and physical health.
Seek legal help
One thing you must do if you want to attain a fair result after a car accident is to contact a legal expert.
Finding a car accident attorney near you will ensure you can communicate with them on your case and reach a final decision sooner. You won’t need to wait around too long and stress about the answer. Instead, you can collaborate efficiently and get a faster decision.
They will support you through every step of the aftermath and ensure you have what you need to attain the fairest legal decision.
Get the other drivers’ details
Another thing you must do after a car accident is get the other drivers’ details. If you do not have them, it will be more difficult to make a claim.
Having their details means you can keep in touch with them and get the information you need to support your claim. They might have experienced a worse injury than you, so you can also use their details to keep in touch and ensure they are recovering well.
Get medical help
If you have experienced a major injury, you must seek medical help immediately. This should be the first thing you do when the car has come to a stop. If you cannot call the emergency services, someone around can do it for you.
Furthermore, if you have attained minimal or no injuries, you should still consider being seen by a healthcare professional. They can assess your health and ensure there is no underlying damage.
You might experience mental health problems due to the trauma and shock. If so, you should seek mental health medical support to help restore your mental health.
Get plenty of rest
Whether you have attained injuries or not, it is still good to rest after a car accident. It can cause tremendous shock to the system, which might take time to recover from.
Therefore, get plenty of rest and take some time off work so you can recover and reset before returning back to normal life, especially if you are going to drive again.
Using these tips, you can ensure to restore yourself physically, mentally, and financially after an accident. You should always seek legal and medical support to get the best outcome and ensure you recover fully. Even if you do not have major injuries, you still need an assessment and some care to ensure you can successfully overcome the shock.
Sex trafficking is a devastating form of exploitation that affects millions of people around the world. It involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to lure individuals (mainly younger aged kids) to engage in sex acts, often against their will. The impact of sex trafficking on mental health can be mentally traumatic and long-lasting. […]
