    For some reason I thought blog posts had to have 300 words to count towards our earnings.  Looks like I am wrong on that.  Good to know.  Thanks for the info!

    Lola wrote a new post, Grateful 8 years, 5 months ago

    I just realized how lucky I am to be born in this era. Even if I’d been born 20 years earlier, I wouldn’t be receiving the treatment for my mental health needs that I am getting and all the supportive help that I […]

    • Yes, nowadays there are treatments for mental illness. Back in the days mental illnesses were taboo. I’m glad people can open up and talk about their problems, no one is perfect!!

    • Nope! You are absolute wrong to presume that if you are born in a different time or years you will be in the mental asylum. I am very sorry to tell that we can tell of what would be our situation if it were not in this era. Anyway, you are entitled for that assumption. But for me, you won’t be suffering of what you have been before. Let’s be more positive than the other way around. I repeat you would be more an asset that a liability if it it is a a different era or time of your birth.

    • I agree that mental illness has come a long way from what it used to be and it still has far to go. Yes, you would have been institutionalized because of your illness and it would not have been pretty. History can attest to that. I am grateful as well since we are able to help ourselves and to help others who have the same problems. We can also help to educate people about mental illness and to let them know that anyone can be affected by it.

    • My mom had a mental illness, my dad brought her to the asylum centre for rehabilitation but after staying there for a month, the doctor said my mom had emotional control mental problem, not the brain mental problem.

      It was very difficult for us all in the family to cope with her mental illness. She could vent her anger out of nowhere all of a sudden and bring up the past history, causing everyone a bad day.

      Then the next day, she would be in her normal mood, doing household chores as if nothing had happened.

      medications didn’t stopped her.
      Instead, it was a stroke that had stopped her mental illness.

    • I have searched whole history I have not found anyone died because of illness, yea it is a fact a real fact without doubt. the main cause of death is pain or pleasure, Too much pain and pleasure extent heart and thus heart problems start and men died anon listening to the new of pain or pleasure. Alexander dies listening to the victory of his army while making revelry festival with his warriors.

      Keep in mind, first human becomes ill after this starts many mysterious diseases in human boy it is the sign of your soul is angry with you you. You must change your self anon plus turn your negative thinking into positive thinking your physical illness will heal within days.

      pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence.

      In the Chinese city of Zhuhai, a young woman was rushed to the hospital in 2008 after going completely deaf in her left ear. The culprit was fingered as an extra-strength kiss with her boyfriend. According to a medic quoted in The China Daily, “The kiss reduced pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear.” The prognosis was that her hearing would fully return in two months.

      Man was created without the sense of pleasure and pain. St Maximos the Confessor tells us that pleasure and pain were not created at the same time as the body. Before the Fall, Adam possessed a noetic faculty, that is, a spiritual mind by which he could enjoy God. Pleasure for Adam was thus a spiritual pleasure. But Adam misused this noetic faculty and turned his spiritual mind towards sensual things and began to experience pleasure contrary to his God-given nature.

    When I was in the hospital recently I was put on new medications. One of them I knew my psychiatrist wouldn’t like and I was correct – she took me off it right away when I saw her after getting out of the ho […]

    • The doctor is the right person to ask for any change in medication if the med dispensed with does not work well to the patient. Not the patient to take the initiave to replace the medicine by asking a drug store clerk. It is good that the replace med works well for work and you have a good sleep. By the way, every time I read your post, I pity you for the struggle you have had before you fully recovered from your mental illness. Sorry about that.

    • Yes, getting a good doctor is better than trying to save that few dollars.
      I think your health is more important than trying to save that few dollars and get a different doctor.
      A new doctor may not be as professional as your current one.

    • It is fortunate that you had met a good doctor that knows what you can take.
      Of course, if your medications are able to be claim with the insurance party, it would be a waste to spend your own money on it.

      My dad had high blood pressure. He had taken the 1st pills and his reading was higher than usual.

      Then the doctor gave him another pills which had greater function but with some side effects.
      His heart beat became irregular, he became tired easily and couldn’t breathe properly.
      He almost black out.
      Quickly went back to the doctor, got back the previous pill and he is back to normal again.

      Sometimes, new meds do not match a patient’s body consumption.
      It is better to use back the previous meds and stay alive.

    • It seems you got a great doctor. I am sure he will improve the things for you. Allopathic medicines are not 100 % safe. They have side effects so allow me to say that you made a great choice in this connection. Hope God cures your disease.

    • I dont’ know if everyone of us here has the courage to come out and to tell the world that he has been suffering from mental disease and has already fully recovered. Not just like you who is to daring, brave and courageous to share to anyone that you have been a mental patient. You have the gut to tell everyone us here the terrible experiences your have while undergoing treat for your illness. For use, we are sore afraid to do it. Anyway, we have learned so much from your experience. Than you.

    @rapidblue  I wonder if the category the blog posts are in make a difference about how many are published at a time?  Mine are always in the Health category.  I’m going to try to get one more blog ready for publishing to see if they will approve three of mine at once this time.

    I haven’t figured out what time.

    I seem to get 2 blogs published at a time though and the rest held back for the next round of releases though.

    • Yes, your emergency room, experience is very bad like other women because the whole people are mentally and spiritually corrupt and all are greedy working for a special purpose in hospital keeping not in mind work but greed and dishonesty. It is the condition all over the world. What the government is doing in all countries the doctors are working well.

      I desribe here a wonderful labor room experienc…
      I was 11 days late and ended up being induced. I was buzzing for the midwife for 30 minutes because i was in agony and no-one came to me. I had to walk to the reception on the ward to get someone to come to me. Once they examined me, i was 6cm dilated so they were going to take me down to the delivery room. I rang my mum to bring my husband up.

      I had been buzzing since 2.30am and the midwife saw me at 3.10am and said the buzzer wasnt plugged into the wall. I was down in the delivery room at 3.25am and my baby girl arrived at 3.31am. The pain was excruciating !! Way worse than my 1st. Everything happened so fast, i didn’t have time to have any pain relief and my husband and mum missed it so i was all alone. I was very scared and lonely because i was on my own and it was hurting so much. And after all that, i ended up with having a 3rd degree tear and loosing a litre of blood. So i had to go into theatre when my little girl was a hour old.

      It is something i don’t ever want to go through again. It was so painful and scary and i’m petrified i’ll tear again if i have another baby.

      I’m just glad my baby girl is healthy 🙂

    I second the heating pad suggestion.  I also had to be put on prescription birthcontrol pills I had such heavy periods and such pain.  I would faint, vomit, and be generally sick for two weeks out of every month.

    I did my master’s online and if anything, it was harder than classes I took in a classroom.  People think online degrees are goof off courses, no way.  I had to write so many papers and do so many creative projects each week that I considered dropping out so many times.  I actually had to take an extension on one final course project due to stress.

    I think illnesses like HIV and cancer could have been cured by now if the drug companies wanted them to be.  They make too much money off of them though so they keep making drugs that treat some of the disease but doesn’t cure it or cure all of it so they still make money.
