It breaks my heart how we treat addicts when they've been through so much
I went through a 6 month Program due to Trauma which fueledmy addiction of the past 5 years. Fast forward 8 months, I've watched 3 friends relapse. One whom I've recently met, we talked all day for the last two days and she checked herself into a rehab and I'm kind of a wreck because I'm now watching this from my POV of recovery and how tortured my friends are, I pass no judgement because I understand and can talk to these friends and acquaintance of mine
Ya wanted to get high bc its fun not bc your mental.
You jump off a cliff with a parachute bc your mental and it gets ya high.ive seen more scary sober their whole life people than drug addicts.atleast addicts have a excuse for losing self control,the sober ones never think the problems them.its always everyone else.
I got high my life spiraled bc i got freaking high not bc some buried illness.
Getting high is convienant and actually pretty fun if ya do the right drug it opens ya up to a new way of thinking.,nature offers great remedies,but society(the sober ones create a problem out of it,it thinking they are the right ones.)they labeled marijuana and etc illegal to make them money and them feel better like they are saving society(from a good thing in reality)
I know of someone who works in the field of recovery for vets. who said the thing that helps them the most is to tell their story.
It seems like most people are suffering with PDST and we think its only us until you here something like this
Thank you for this
I'm in tears i feel this so deeply.
Great sharing. Our channel supports and encourages people with addiction and mental health issues.
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. 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. Avoid comparing your life with others, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
Stay strong everyone, I hope you are okay. If not, it will get better. I believe in you ❤
I’m thankful I found this video today.
Well done happy for you
I have respect and you are fully appreciated
Great stuff Apryl Pooley!
That certainly has been a journey, I'm really happy you've made it.
Congratulations, enjoy your victory :)
So much respect 🙌 to all those helping others heal. 🦋 It's a true calling. I absolutely found my purpose in telling my story of borderline death ☠️ and life implosion 🤯 to healing my brain and body to get my life back! Much luv! 🕉 You can heal!
this womans experience reminds me of when I was in two car accidents back to back 5 days apart from one another
Thats crazy hope youre okay
Good for her.
I'm so very proud of you. Have you any idea how strong you were to be working on a phd in your excruciating pain? You were not a drunk. You were a soldier fighting for your life, with a "do what you gotta do" warrior mentality. How does that NOT compare to a war veteran's injuries and PTSD? I would do anything to have the strength to enrol in grad school, to write or in any way begin to live my life and work toward my goals and dreams. Cutting edge science is, by definition, outside the norm, the standard, the accepted practices and ideas. It pushes the envelope. Maybe you were still a scientist when using this approach to healing PTSD. My ongoing research using the most credible available sources, says there is no solid evidence that group therapy is effective treatment for PTSD. You have taught me so much. Thank you for your service my sister and fellow soldier.
Thank you, this means a lot

I'm putting this on my website! Please tell me if I am going to have an issue doing this.
A really inspiring story for those who want to fight addiction. As with many other addictions, substance abuse addiction can be a life and career threatening experience that requires a lot of conscious effort to overcome, which is what has been shown here. I also recommend having a workbook like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Worksheets for Substance Abuse by Portia Cruise can be a very handy companion to track your progress, stay motivated, and avoid relapse.
i think everyone can recover with classic psiquiatry and classic therapy.
Powerful story...you are a survivor and thriver! However, request to TEDx ...talks like this should come with a trigger warning.
In the beginning I had addiction, and alcoholism. Then I got into a bad accident on my bike and suffered a skull fracture and a major concussion. Now I have some mental problems to add to my life. Will this type of recovery help me?
Enjoy some ecstasy you will be fine
Ask your doctor.

Is this video not in sink in terms of audio and video
I know they compare mental illness and addiction. But can there be an instance where someone is perfectly mentally stable and they just like to be high?
A safe haven
Loved this talk, except for references to psych meds as being part of recovery, which they are not. Psych meds will tend to mask the issue temporarily, and kick the can down the road to explode at a later date with even worse symptoms.
Recovery is different for everyone, and while meds may not work for you, they save the lives of many.
@@l1zardkw33n Taylor; u may have a point. Un4tun8ly, psych meds only save the lives of very few since they DO NOT ADDRESS NOR RESOLVE THE TRIGGERS THAT CAUSE MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. That includes ABUSE (VERBAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, &/OR PHYSICAL), BULLYING, CONFLICT, DISRESPECT, HARASSMENT, &/OR MISTREATMENT COMMITTED AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL BY OTHER PEOPLE ALONG W/THE TRIGGERS THAT CAUSE THAT INDIVIDUAL 2 B REACTIVE!!!!! There4, it's much more popular 2 MEDIC8 THAN COMMUNIC8!!!!! It appears that u support the medication philosophy 2 "cure" mental health issues. There4, best 2 u.
I disagree with your opinion about not needing psych drugs. I believe some people need them, but they also need to go to a therapist. Sometimes our brains are chemically unbalanced and just therapy won't work. The ideal situation if you need medication is to work through your therapy and eventually stop using meds. We are all different.
