Mental Health and Amputees

This Video is about mental health in the amputee community! From the commitment side of learning how to walk properly, the confidence it takes to break the barrier that's preventing proper walking mechanics. It also goes over mental health, depression, anxiety, pain and discouragement to progress in your journey as an amputee! This video can be a bit repetitive but its because there's literally no other way of saying it! I cover positive affirmations, my own mental health battles with depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders and how i overcame them and when they arise! My goal is to reach amputees that need help, motivate those that need it, give tips and life hacks to being an amputee! For those battling mental health and amputation, post op, pre op, learning how to walk again and the mental side of physically walking, not giving up and options for those in need and how they can obtain them! If you're feeling like you want to hurt yourself or others please reach out to the suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255! You can remain anonymous or chat with them, self help books and other resources can also be discrete by ordering via amazon. Finding hobbies and staying busy during recovery, or the process of regaining the ability to walk as a whole, keep your mind going in a positive direction! Reach out to support groups and family. Facebook groups, find goals achievable, reward yourself, don't beat yourself up over things or time lost! We all stumble from time to time in life its all about how you get back up and what you decide to do from there... keep going or fold up and quit... AND QUITTING ISN'T AN OPTION! Don't let mental health define you, don't let an amputation define you! Make it an achievement or tone of character, strength and the ability to overcome anything and inspire those around you! Mental health disorders, amputation, pain, discouragement, self confidence.. They don't define you, they are your attributes, your character, your capability and power to overcome mind over matter. positive over negative and why its so important to see things a certain way or you won't have the recipe for success!! If you need someone to talk to, support, resources, how to get these resources or any other questions or video recommendations please email me at [e-mail] God Bless You All! You Can DO THIS! You're not alone!
