Beyond Blue

I wanted to excerpt from Time magazine’s article, “Minds on The Edge,” about borderline personality disorder (BPD) because the diagnosis is on the rise and because so few people (myself included) understand it. Back when I was suicidal one doctor diagnosed me with it, and I, well, freaked out. I confused it (which many people…

One of the best books out about borderline personality disorder is “The Siren’s Dance: My Marriage to a Borderline,” by Anthony Walker, a psychiatrist. The detailed descriptions of events will give you a strong appreciation for those persons who live with this mood disorder, or suffer from it on a daily basis. In the book…

Blogger friend Ovidia who writes “The Busy Time” just posted the following piece on her blog about the obsession to be loved by a certain someone. I wanted to post it, at least in part, because I’ve received such an overwhelming response to the support group that I just started last night for persons involved…

Some folks who read my “9 Way to Stop Obsessing” that was posted both on Psych Central and The Huffington Post, asked me: “Only 9?” Well, no. Actually, the original had 15 ways.

I felt the need to create such…

Since we are having a discussion in Group Beyond Blue about which movies we hate the most, or which do a horrific job of portraying mental illness on the big screen, I thought I’d post Movie Mom’s fun gallery on her 10 best comfort movies. Nell Minow writes: Bad cold? Feeling a little flu-ish? Crawl…

Sometimes when you list sanity tips all day you forget you need them yourself. And often the people who blab on and on about trusting God are the very folks who need to follow that piece of advice. My foster dad and mentor, Mike Leach, always tells me (when I hear about what a jerk…

I absolutely love the lyrics to this song! When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You…

Martha Williamson has an inspiring story for anyone who, like me, is starting to panic in these hard economic times. Click here to watch the video “The Miracle of the Green Plate” about surviving the worst economic times though God and good people. Thanks Martha!

On Psych Central’s World of Psychology today! The French call Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder folie de doute, the doubting disease. That’s what obsessions are–a doubt caught in an endless loop of thoughts. But even those not diagnosed with OCD can struggle with obsessions. In fact, I have yet to meet a depressive who doesn’t ruminate, especially in…
