Beyond Blue

On Mindful Monday, my readers and I practice the art of pausing, TRYING to be still, or considering, ever so briefly, the big picture. We’re hoping this soul time will provide enough peace of mind to get us through the week! Something transpired in the last two days that I’m almost too embarrassed to write…

In addition to joining Facebook, I also built a website (with Eric’s help) because, well, I saw that all the other rats had them and I didn’t, so I thought I should have one. Here it is: www.thereseborchard.com. You can see the cover of my memoir coming out in April of 2009: “Beyond Blue: Surviving…

In my video post I mentioned Elaine Aron’s book, “The Highly Sensitive Person.” I advise all depressives to read it, because most of you are going to be highly sensitive (which is not a bad thing at all). I was explaining to this older man I met in a coffee shop about how I get…

I had lined up a package about how pets can be helpful in relieving depression and anxiety, but I feel the need to write about all the veterans who suffer. I have two cousins in Iraq right now, and I think about them every day. Because I’m too anxious to venture out of my state,…

Yours truly was picked by Blogs.com to compile a list of the Top 10 Mental Health Blogs. This was very difficult task, considering all I had to do was go to the Group Beyond Blue index and name all the members whom I love to read. But I didn’t think that would be fair, so…
