Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
This board is about my continued therapy, progress and hope. There is some overlap of the other therapy board. I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes I go back. It is all a process and not a linear one. I have been in therapy for many years. I am also planning to apply to a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology...yes, even at my age!! Specific issues and diagnoses are on the boards for Depression & Suicide, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Feelings/Thoughts which are all on the boards near the top. Near the bottom of the page are boards that are specific to Self Injury, Eating Disorders and Sexual Abuse. Please take a look at the Mental Health Videos, at the top of the page, they are quite interesting and informative. Some of the videos only show the description and the play symbol, but if you click on the play symbol it will play the video. Also, check out the videos at the top of the page for information on other diagnoses and symptoms.
my mind is constantly racing without letting anyone in to help

Fetching pins…
Coleen Uyehara Thanks Leslie, actually this is someone else's caption...but, it would have fit me last year. The best help for me would have been for for me to write this and have you comment. I am discovering my real self and it is a difficult process, for me, my self hatred really gets in the way.
Leslie Yeung Self Hatred? How can you hate what our creator has wonderously and beautifully made?
Coleen Uyehara I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but your comment would give someone with these issues more evidence that they are horrible people. This issue for people with Borderline Personality Disorder have deeply rooted belief system that they are bad, wothless, horritble and unloveable person. This takes much therapy and not just faith alone to heal this iimage that was seated into the wiring and chemical in the brain within the first year of life.
Leslie Yeung Wow! No, my words were not intending anyone was horrible. How did you extract that? I do believe in therapy but not many therapists. That we are amazingly made by a creator is not hate speech; it's encouragement...based on fact. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. Your posts are very thought-provoking.
Coleen Uyehara I figured that you probably didn't know and were trying to be helpful. This is how someone with self-identity/esteem issues could take this even though it is true. Almost anything can get turned around because that is how their thought system works even if what you say is true. A compliment can even be turned around. There was no misunderstanding on my part, but I just wanted you to be aware of how people can take things. I extracted it from my own personal experiences and professional ones. I've worked with people, mostly with mental illness and/or with a developmental disabilities. I'm glad that you like my posts. I also believe in therapy and there are a lot of incompent ones out there. I hope to be a good psychologist.
