Fruit and hygiene photos; Fresh fruit but I would eat something unhealthy because I did not feel I could do that work. My hygiene was bad and there would be days that I would not shower or brush my hair & teeth. I was too depressed. But now I feel like I can monitor things. I feel like I’m dealing with it and I feel like I know where I can [go] and who I can get help from. This is both medication and illness related. I know that I will feel better if I take the medication and if I feel better then I eat better. I know so much more about mental illness and I’ve moved beyond just the [state hospital] My doctor gave me [information] but much of it I couldn’t understand kind of like what attorney’s give you and say. I did go online but do not just google. Need to think about who wrote it and how current it is and people can get on the internet but you need to know if it is accurate. I would encourage people to speak to their mental health provider. I tend to be more aggressive now and say, “I don’t understand it” to my provider. {My mental health clinic} provides a plethora of things, more so than I want. I went to the first couple classes of wellness classes and I felt dumb but you kind of look around and you see people are thinking maybe what you are but then you see people engaged. So you start visiting with people and you see people engaged and you open your mind with it then it does start to work. I tend to be a pressure cooker and it is a nice release but you have to be open minded. And people are seeing that wellness is good just as medication is.
