Social Anxiety Blogs

I had to leave my environment two times last week, each time it involved me working with people a meeting or something. It changed my entire week. I felt so much better.

Having human contact no matter how minimal, a simple meeting can make me feel better, that's sad!

I've been watching the news more, lay in bed, listen to anchors, people being interviewed, it still amazes me how people view anyone with any type of mental illness. It's sad. So many people don't understand if you decide not to take drugs, does this make you any less depressed, does that make someone superior to those that take this direction, hell no.
I'm tired of hearing "They are bipolar, had issues with depression" so what, so has most of the world, anxiety, panic attacks, hello aren't they all the rage these days, where does one out way the other.

Then we have postpartum depression, the media screwed that one up, the woman that killed her children, she had postpartum depression yet, it was postpartum psychosis that causes one to react in such a matter (If it's not faked, I add that because I'm well aware some people just don't have the same thought processes as others). The media helped with this one.
What about these talk show shrinks, I want to reach out and choke the ***** out of them at times.

One of my Mom's resident's died. He had medicaid for insurance, he had a shunt in his head, it was bent, when they removed it, they found he had green.....Anyway, the put a new tube in put him on an IV for a day sent him home. They didn't catch the problem in time, his insurance only covered so much, when you're already in an adult foster care. I guess they kept pumping him with morphine, what they could give him, the poor kid (60 but in my mind, a kid, anyone that has ever worked with.) couldn't get comfortable he was in so much pain, breaks my heart. I've seen this first hand, usually your given so much meds you're still in pain, but you don't care cause you're in lala land. I hate it, hard to think about.

I would like to become much more vocal about our health insurance problems. When those promising a Universal plan, we need to stipulate a good plan.
