I live with Schizophrenia and Bipolar II. Over 7 years ago I was in a mental health clinic for a doctor's appointment and I saw a flyer for a job for those who were in recovery for at least a year so I applied. I have worked in the Advocacy department and currently am working at a peer -run peer support agency. It's a great fit for me because I'm doing something that I know about. I found my niche! So to anyone wanting to work in a mental health environment, go for it! It's empowering to you plus you help others.
Wow I've got the same diagnosis and just come out the otherside and want to break into that field did you study first? I'm looking at doing a cert 4 in mental health but would like to get some experience in the field too
Useful information. In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in college, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
God`s Love for me and his forgiveness of my sins, helped me to get a truer perspective of myself and develop a deeper relationship with Him. I know He loves me unconditionally. It is I who harmed my mental health by distancing myself from Him. No one can Love you more than God and once you keep close to God daily then you will not be harsh on yourself and begin to grow in true Love
I'm glad you were able to find peace and an answer to your mental health journey. But I encourage you to watch the video again as it can show you how to use your experiences to empower others through their harshest times. I believe in god too and I believe you were sent here to pick on those tools to help build others.
Mental experience between a Admiral and an Office Worker are the same? Its meant to be a holding others. Thats that healing point. Izs like the work of an shepherd with sheeps, foxes, wolves n other dangerous factors.
I can't tell you how frustrating is to lose all of your credibility among friends family community and authority figures. Nothing you say is ever going to be trusted or believed again. It makes me so angry.
