Thoughts on life: February 2016
http://danielle-thoughtsonlife.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Tuesday, 23 February 2016. After a minute or so, I noticed I was starting to feel anxious and like I needed to be rushing myself into the pool. I was starting to take on the frenetic energy of the woman next to me. Yesterday I noticed it and managed to remind myself that that was her energy and I didn't have to take it on. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Adventures of a Survivor.

Thoughts on life: June 2015
http://danielle-thoughtsonlife.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Sunday, 21 June 2015. Today I rode my bike in the Canadian Mental Health Associations Ride Don't Hide. There are 3 distances, 105 km, 50 km and 10 km. I rode 10, hopefully 50 next year. They had their own focus for the ride. I had my own reasons. Wednesday, 10 June 2015. Somedays the aging process seems like a lot. You notice that your eyes don't see as well. You notice that your ears don't hear as well. You know that they would ...

Thoughts on life: August 2015

Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Wednesday, 19 August 2015. Psychotherapy is for the strong, the brave and the healthy. Talk about a powerful message. I was in to see my therapist this week and this is the message she was giving me. More than that though, the conversation came as a way of helping me articulate something that had been rattling around in my head. So why for the brave, strong and healthy? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I had an official diagnosis of d...

Thoughts on life: September 2015
http://danielle-thoughtsonlife.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Friday, 11 September 2015. It's funny how my brain works sometimes. There is someone at work who I talk to once in awhile. I find that when I do have interactions with her I am always drawn in by her way of being, by the way she talks about things, by the interaction in general. Then afterward, and pretty much every time, I find myself having a hard time. How do I remember to let her have her stuff and not worry about it? I had a...

Thoughts on life: Finding that Place
http://danielle-thoughtsonlife.blogspot.com/2016/05/finding-that-place.html
Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Saturday, 21 May 2016. I've been struggling in the last 3 weeks or so, to the point where a few people have asked me if I am ok. Lots of reason for it. I decided today that I needed to do something different to regain my balance. So, I read this blog from start to finish. All 5 years of it. And, I am amazed. I am reminded of my own courage, resilience, bravery and strength. Depression really did put me through the wringer, an...

Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Wednesday, 23 December 2015. She did something that was awful at the time and so helpful. She looked at me straight and said, " you have depression and you should see your doctor about medication because it is obvious that just therapy isn't working". Hard to hear and harder to act on. I did it though. And so the journey continues. Friday, 18 December 2015. Stress, or the lack therefore. I don't think so. For the work I am do...

Thoughts on life: November 2015

Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Saturday, 21 November 2015. Self-harm and speaking about it. A colleague said something to me a couple of months ago. I brushed it off then as nothing, but it really made me think. There were a few of us in the kitchen, and one lady was giving me a hard time about being a klutz. Another one was kinder saying she was familiar with a number of injuries since I started at my current workplace. Monday, 9 November 2015. I can feel the...

Thoughts on life: Mental Health Week 2016

Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Friday, 6 May 2016. Mental Health Week 2016. It's Mental Health Week this week. Before the week started I had plans to do some research, to be active, to share my story, to participate. Then, a major natural disaster and human tragedy happened in my province. A major wildfire that caused the evacuation of Fort McMurray. And I had to rethink what my week would be. 6 May 2016 at 09:08. 7 May 2016 at 20:51. View my complete profile.

Mental Health, Mental Fitness, Mental Illness, Depression, Life, Learnings. Sunday, 31 May 2015. One of my activities over the last few years has been dodgeball. I got into it randomly and ended up on a team of fabulous people equally randomly. The guy who introduced me to the team ended up not being a good fit, but I am still around. The nice thing about dodgeball is that it is aggressive, but in a controlled and acceptable way. The whole point of the game is to throw balls at other people. Catc...And s...
