Free Self Help Site with Podcast

Bulletproof Soul — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:22:11 +0000

Just in time for my own meltdown, I have been introduced to these completely free self help programs. The site is chock full of help for people who are in varying stages of life, from trying to quit smoking, to entrepreneurs.

It’s a breeze to sign up. Just click the bright blue “Join Now” star, put in a few details, and you are off. You are signed in as soon as you join. There, you find a friendly interface that will get you started making friends, connecting to support groups, and start your own programs. There are a number of life coaching support groups to fit your individual needs. Just do a simple search by category or keyword.

Thousands of hours have been devoted to compiling the best of the best for this site. There are so many opportunities to learn and grow here. You can share your victories through the free blog that they provide you, or garner inspiration from the accomplishments of others. We can finally find the accountability we need to succeed in recovering from whatever it is we are dealing with, and that is one of the most important parts of recovery.

New to the site are inspirational motivation podcasts, which can be downloaded to your computer, subscribed to on iTunes, or in your feed reader of choice. I like downloading podcasts to my mp3 player so I can take them with me and listen when I need to be uplifted. It’s a great addition to an already solid site.

Take the time to check it out for yourself. You will not be sorry. There are so many things to do, join, read, and watch that you are nearly guaranteed to leave the site changed. Join a challenge, make goals, gain wisdom from the triumphs and the failures of others. There is no better way to get through addictions and mental illnesses than to see there is a way out. There is a way to freedom. There is hope for recovery. Once you realize that there is a better way, you will recover that much faster.

Hope to see you there!

Therapy 10-29

Bulletproof Soul — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 03:19:43 +0000

I went in for my therapy appointment. They were about to close my case! It was good to see her again. We caught up with the business of my mental health and whatever else was going on. It was a good day to just let it all out and talk about the progress I have made over the past few months that we have not seen each other. Good stuff. We will see each other again in another month.

Stay tuned for the new podcast coming up next Monday!!

Borderlines benefit in bailout

I couldn’t believe it, but here it is.

Missed my appointment

Bulletproof Soul — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:49:57 +0000

and I didn’t make another…yet. I will have to soon. I didn’t miss it on purpose. I got my days mixed up again, thought I had to go July 31st when it was actually for the 30th. They didn’t call me till AFTER the appointment,either… which reeks. They know I have date issues and they have to call me at least a day in advance so I remember. They have all new people calling. The one who left me a message was stuttering so badly, like she was way nervous and I was her first call. I guess that’s why I didn’t get one beforehand this time.

Why didn’t I make another? Well time. Time is not on my side this month. I hope to get some time by the last week of this month, though.

Alzheimer’s Walk for the Cure

Bulletproof Soul — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:07:24 +0000

Close to my heart:

My father-in-law and my father both deal with the ravages of Alzheimer’s and dementia. One of my closest friends also has dementia, which looks like an advanced form of Alzheimer’s. It is not easy to watch your loved ones fall backwards through time. Sometimes they don’t even know who you are, and it really hurts.

The annual Alzheimer’s Memory Walk is designed to make people aware of the disease as well as raise funds for research and care. More than 600 communities participate every year in support of family and friends who are dealing with the disease every day.

I encourage you all to give to the cause or walk for the cure. Either way, you would be helping people like my father, friend, and father-in-law get the care they so desperately need. Without your help, there is no real hope of finding a way to prevent or obliterate this disease.

Taking a mental health day

Bulletproof Soul — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:39:18 +0000

I have been such a mess lately, I just had to take a mental health day. I called my best friend who has been my sister in mental illness this whole time and she happened to be off work. She and I had a little chat and decided on our plan of action. I took my son to my mother’s house and she met me there. That’s when we took our time to do all kinds of therapy:

Food therapy: eating at Jim’s Lunch with greasy food and a decadent dessert. I will never look at bread pudding the same again.

Retail therapy: I had coupons and gift cards. I only ended up spending a full ten dollars on everything today. HEHE I got a needle for knitting, new perfume lotion from Victoria, and 8 things from Bath/Body on sale.

Lollygagging therapy (she gave me triple letter score for using that word HAHA): took our sweet time doing everything we did today. I even got to meet my godkitty and see her adorable new apartment.

Caffeine therapy: coffee good, soda good!

I got to my mother’s around 2pm and ended my day at 7:15pm when I left to come home. I feel a heaping load better than I did when I left to go to my mom’s house.

Bonus: Early birthday present from my mother…

A MIXER!!! It can be used as a hand mixer OR with the stand and bowl. THANKS MOMMY.

Bonus 2: Margaret George book from my best friend that she knew I wanted to read.

I think I can last another week now… I hope I can anyway. Thanks to my mom and my best friend for helping me out today.

Psych Central

Bulletproof Soul — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:00:40 +0000

As I was looking through my Google keywords emails, I found one that had a link to Psych Central. I have never been there before, but they have some interesting things that I wanted to share with you. One is that they have a place that looks like Digg social network for psychological questions and answers. They also cover a wide variety of mental health issues. I am still looking through the site right now, but I wanted to give you all another resource to check out in your free time.
