 Illnesses > Mental Health
Mental health issues, even in today,are still treated by doctors, insurance companies and society in general as being less important (and less treatable) than physical health. We tend to give up on the mentally ill (which term, by the way, does NOT necessarily mean "crazy". depression, for example, is also a mental illness). Find in this ring sites offering information and support for those of us who are struggling with self-injury, depression, borderline personality disorder, anorexia, bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses, as well as for those who want to maintain their mental health, and those who are involved with those whose mental health is in peril. This ring's illustration is a self-portrait by Peruvian photographer Amparo Torres and its use here does not imply anything whatsoever about the artist's mental health (the ring manager just thinks it's a cool picture which somehow evokes the precariousness of human mental health).

Just call me Ms. Lumpy - Didn't mean to leave things hanging after my last post. Life just got in the way. More doctor visits and my daughter moved home from college for the summer, so it's been a hectic couple of weeks. After meeting with my doctor, I was told I needed to get a diagnostic mammogram with compression. That differs from the regular screening mammogram... - 2012/05/16 Today is a new day... - And it is mine for the taking! Good morning, my lovelies. I am up super early today, partly because I cannot sleep, and partly because my lovely boyfriend decided he was coming to retrieve me at freaking 8 am this morning to kidnap me for the day. I love him, but 8 am?! Seriously? Ugh, that boy. At least it will get me out of here and keep my mind ... - 2012/05/15 Bloated - Bah so I planned to start my new diet and exercise routine today but of course whenever I plan anything it never works out. I woke up this morning around 8 or 9, which would have been a perfect time to go out and run. But I had such terrible period cramps and I could barely move, let alone even get out of bed. I finally got up around n... - 2012/05/15 What an awful day... - Hello my dearest lovelies. I hope you all had a nice day today. I did not. I have been struggling all day. I gained over the weekend. :( I am so sad. 146.8. That is depressing. Yet I managed to binge today. What the hell is wrong with me? I can only hope that tomorrow is better. :\ I do not have much to say today. I will get caught up on blogs soon... - 2012/05/14 Not of importance - I'm literally afraid to go to the kitchen to get water because I'm scared I'll eat. Like FEAR. Other than that and the desire to just eat today has been good, so far I'm really pushing through my doubts like not eating and stoping exercising. Been pretty good, except I hate school and am going to get bitched at tomorrow for not drawing a interpreta... - 2012/05/14 Tom Hiddleston - So he's been all over tumblr lately (by the way, my tumblr ) and I didn't get it. I was like, who is this random guy I've never heard of. Then I watched Thor. And now I get it. I mean JESUS, just look at the man! - 2012/05/14
