Though it has been ages since I last blogged I promise that I will update you in the days to come, but first I have a very pressing message. The State House of Representatives released it's budget yesterday, and it contains over $26M in reductions to mental health services.
This will place more people struggling with mental health conditions on the streets, in emergency rooms, Lineahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10115460483821272478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832905792274661800.post-25313944743298236502011-06-05T14:38:00.000-07:002011-06-06T18:57:08.884-07:00Taking Care

Though it is one of my favorite shows I was recently very disappointed in the episode, "The Substitute" because of its discriminator and stigmatizing language and actions.

It is from Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty. And though it focuses on women, it is something that really affects us all. Please talk to your kids before the beauty industry does. Their are wonderful online activities and toolkits on self-esteem for kids that are also helpful for adults.

Practicing
the art of poise upon a slender ledge
that drops down days, resolving not to sing
a favorite nocturne, pruning back the edge
of dreams--all these are such consuming tasks.
And morning means that I must nurse a flame
so I can study what the daylight asks,
and research whyand memorizemy name.

I occasionally have paralyzing attacks of insecurity where I don't even want to leave the room or let anyone see me. So what is the best thing to do in these moments? Sit in a windowless room full of mirrors and make funny faces with a friend.

In fact
if we have all the words and we
make madness mean the way they act
then they as all of us can see
are surely mad. And then again
if they have all the words and call
madness something else, well then--
well then, they are not mad at all.
