It gets better. I never understood what was wrong with me. Emotional struggles coupled with anxiety and stress. Everything came in focus when I officially had my meltdown. Medication helps. I take 800mg of Seroquel to sleep everyday. The noise goes away. I eat. I get good sleep. I know when I'm high and Low. My safe place is for me. I don't want anyone in my home. I've taken up a few hobbies to keep busy. Don't feel ashamed.
My husbands childhood friend drank his way into cvicu. We saw him today sedated and almost lifeless. I hope he pulls through. I started crying because he is in here right now because he is afraid to get help. We lost his other friend last year to suicide, I cried so hard. Men are important, and other men need to stop putting down men with mental problems, women need to stop saying man up. We need our men to be emotionally healthy. Y’all are seen, we are on your side. Please please, get help don’t be afraid🥺
This was hands-down the best webinar I have ever attended. You kept me engaged from the first sentence. You seamlessly broke the topics down into small wins. The information was easier to receive because of your delivery. THANK YOU!
You’re choking me up, please everybody check on your friends. Listen and care for each other, offer comfort, encourage each other to get mentally healthy. God feels everything we do, and vice versa.
I chose the medication. I used to take 800mg of seroquel just to get me to sleep. My Dr also gave me buPROPion 150mg to help with anxiety. Discussions about mental health and wellness comes with a stigma. The emotional pain, the realization of the source, the coping mechanisms .... the FEAR of judgement. The HIGHS and the LOWS. I experienced a significant loss which triggered my mental episode. I'm so grateful that the authorities knew exactly what to do. The healing process is ongoing. A few days ago I was a victim of an assault. A violent attack. I was stabbed 3 times. When I came back home, the voices came back. I swallowed all of my pain medication in an attempt to make the voices go away. I realized I hadn't slept in 48hrs. Everything the voices said they did: wasn't true. I cried. I cried. I cried. I prayed. I'm so scared to leave home. I'm so scared to sleep. I'm so scared to feel like I'm so vulnerable.
My therapist said the same thing to me! He recommended I go back to school, which is something I’m considering next year. Is there anyway I can reach you? An email or instagram?
In some cases I just think the doctors don't really know what's going on and if you tried to explain it to them they'll think that have some form of mental health. Because they haven't been informed.
Can’t sleep at 3:30AM. I finally found this. I cried so hard watching this. Man I needed that.
I pray that you heal more and more every day brother , you got this !!

Same Here, I am going into social work and I am seeing this and how we are not represented.
7 months late....Blessings to you.. brother...I hope this message finds you in good spirits...
Can you be so emotionally exhausted to where you get depressed? You just get so tired of feeling so many things that you dont know how to process.
Absolutely
Yes

This isn't getting the attention it deserves
Thank you very much. I would appreciate more attention for the sake of helping someone else who resonates with my story.
It ABSOLUTELY is not!! And it was so beautifully presented.
Powerful
Superb!
This was perfect
Everytime i try to talk to my mom about this kind of thing she looks for a distraction
It's brutal man. I don't vent my emotions to my parents cus they will just invalidate them at the end
Wow this sounds like my life
Racial anxiety.
That and alot of other things
This was a great message Dr Curt 💪🏾🪴
I’m hoping this is his book I bout on amazon
My therapist said the same thing to me! He recommended I go back to school, which is something I’m considering next year. Is there anyway I can reach you? An email or instagram?

Blaming others, excuses, denial, deceit and delusion...
Only a white person would say something like this, typical
?
Dude fall back; white men like YOU have always had mental issues that have been addressed. Stop trolling our spots!
Go home no one asked Mr. Mayo
Don't forget the main problem...
