What people should know about family or loved one's that are suicidal

Image
 Being suicidal...     The main thing everyone should know that might help when someone you know is suicidal is this, IT IS NOT A CRY for attention,  it is merely asking for someone that cares to help them thru a rough time in their life.  From what I have learned going thru similar things in my life and even several family and friends going thru similar things, putting someone in a locked psych ward doesn't help, it's more important to show them you care, most of the time it is emotional support that they need more than anything.  Try being a good active listener or in other words empathize, validate, understand, and even try putting yourself in their shoes for a moment an make them feel truly understood.  Do not DISMISS them , this will only lead to resentment and cause more anger and emotional trauma.  Do not COMPARE what they are going thru to something you went thru, because they are never the exact same situations, you may perceive it as...

Gaslighting the simplest explaination

Image
 The easiest and simplest way to explain gaslighting to someone is saying it is when someone else believes their reality to be true and make you doubt your own reality or experiences.  This, if done over a period of time, can cause many serious mental health conditions which could include something like the infographic I am going to post below along with a link to where I found it. This infographic explains simply about Emotional Abuse and the Silent Treatment is a form of this as well as gaslighting .  There is a wide range of gaslighting behaviors some of which are unintentional and somewhat harmless but the more insidious one's can cause all the above symptoms.  This is likely why gaslighting in general is not against the law but if your trying to manipulate someone or psychologically torture them (which is what the very definition of gaslighting says) then depending on how you go about doing this whether it be with technology or using a group with a false narrati...

Interesting info for those who believe I have either "episodes" or "Schizophrenia" which I absolutely do not

 Interesting Information for those who believe I have  episodes or  Schizophrenia https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/if-love-could-kill/202409/coercive-control-gaslighting-and-recovery      I have news for anyone who believes that I have this mental health disorder.  I have yet to be diagnosed for having this and typically someone who has this is could also be easily agitated yet I have had the amazing ability to keep my anger under control while also being harassed by civilians calling the police on me for no reason or using a false narrative.  I only know this because I have yet to receive one single answer for several people's actions.  One such group was who I used to live by, Two my ex has also used the police twice without any credible threat made whatsoever, and the second time I was not even asked to leave Dollar General and had made no threats (like normal) and went in and asked where the energy drinks where and without a word s...

How I feel about the community I'm at now

Image
 The Shiloh Creek Community "Upgrade your home, Upgrade your Life" So far I have had nothing but positive interactions with everyone that I run into, I've learned a new skill while also being taught a few more things by the Head of Maintenance down here and I would recommend anyone looking for a change of scenery or a new apartment to consider this nice, quiet community as a place to live at because I have nothing but nice things to say about each and every one of the staff and any of the residents I've met so far in the 3 months I've been here.   If not for them, I could have gotten stuck in one of 2 toxic environments that would not have helped me.  In this community, people do come and go but the niceness and the show of confidence in my abilities to adapt by the Lady's in the office have made me feel safe and at home where I am, I know nothing is permanent but I hope to stay here for a while because it's truly hard to surround yourself with positive su...
