Journey of a Person with Disability
Sharing the Experience to Save Lives
Non-profits that counsel such as EastHouse and non-profits that treat such as Rochester Rehab aiding clinics and hospitals in treating people with disabilities. This is what families, friends, and people with disabilities should be researching and searching for because life coaches can provide motivation and inspiration to overcome illnesses. Sudden fear overwhelms us all but it is a meditation on the positivity that bridges the gap to hope. We cannot be afraid to ask for help and get help on things that are important to us. We must let nothing stop us from reaching our goals because our goals define us and our lives.
Getting used to the medication because of the numerous side effects, they slowed down daily activities and prevent workload. This is the hardest thing to do in the journey for independence for people with disabilities. Suffering alone is not the answer, we must be confident in ourselves and others. We must learn to trust doctors, nurses, health professionals, and even secretaries with our struggle. Nothing is for sure and we must take every precaution there is to balancing and maintaining our homeostasis. Homeostasis is stability within our minds and bodies. We cannot learn to cope with things that are irregular and destroying us but we must fight with all our might to get the happiness we desire. Life is filled with turmoil but hope overcomes it all.
NAMI event showed me that I can be whatever I choose to be. I brought my father to the event and showed that I can still be responsible to family and friends even counselors. I can share my gift of writing to help someone get along their way. I can still have a passion even though I have a mental illness. As long as I took responsibility for helping myself and gaining knowledge to lead me to a long and fulfilling life. They gave me confidence in who I am and allowed me to express myself to my family and friends. They did not judge my poetic feelings and submission. They accepted what I was feeling, which was worried if I would have fulfilled life, and my family cheering along the process and encouraging me to be better and progress. The Pro programs gave me a responsibility to find myself and educate myself to live a healthy life. They taught me that you are never too old to learn and be educated. There is numerous help on the way for those with disabilities. My illness had written about it that an individual would not like trivia games, yet I kept answering correctly the hospital's jeopardy and college jeopardy games. My counselors became another family to me because they were walking me through the process and teaching me how to live again. They gently set me free from their responsibilities as I grow again.
Looking back, when I was relapsing my doctors and their team assured me that I know myself the best and that I was highly intelligent. At the time, I felt a part and falling apart. I only recognized my feelings and I did not understand fully what was happening to me but my health professionals believed that I saved my life by describing to them the horrible effects of my illness. They even allowed me to practice religious mediation encouraging me to think correctly. Looking back only fond memories erase the heinous dreams of the past and I feel accomplishment in getting back my life. This helped me to go to college and beyond. It inspired me to become like my doctors and health team to ensure a healthy life and long life.
The advice I would give to others, families, and friends: To choose organizations that will fight for you and care for your loved ones, in the beginning, my organizations knew how smart I was and recommended college. Choose organizations that believe in their ability and give them confidence and assurance as they travel their journey to a healthier life, guidance is key, and listening to your member with disabilities every need that is important to them. Be patient with the system, it will eventually get right and react calmly to advise and recommendations, your members with disabilities will react based on their families and friends so be open-minded and everything will be alright.

The Resolutions for Anger
Anger is just an emotion. Anger as one of the most powerful emotion, anger can cause a lot of grief. Anger can destroy family. Anger can ruin friendship. Anger can detour true life. If we continue in our anger, if we abide in anger, if we ignite anger then we are enablers to its chaos, we are enablers to its destruction. It is okay to feel angry now and then but it is never okay to act on that anger. We must learn that acting on that anger leads to all types of injustices. Anger can easily lead to murder. Anger can easily lead to stealing. Anger can easily lead to attacking one another. There is no peace in anger. Once it is started and it gets away with one thing, it forms another avenue to erupt itself. Anger does not rest. Anger does not sleep. Anger does not yield. It must be caught publicly. It must be disdained publicly. A community must collectively put the flame of anger out so that it will not be rekindled. Even if that community is just a family, family must train their children to use words and not violence. Their children must be taught that violence is a way of expressing anger and that anger held too long becomes very violent. So violent that you don't think of the other person as human anymore. You begin to act as if they are controlling your every move, as if they are ruling you through your anger. When we choose forgiveness over anger, we choose life. We choose to get over our selfish desires and we walk freely because we know that no one gets away anyway and we would rather spend our lives doing something meaningful than hating. It is the common notion that there are people who get away with doing crime and walking in anger for the rest of their life but as we see, as we learned there are very elderly people who have done crime in their youth who now must live the rest of their days in prison. There is no age too old to exhibit prison. We must know that anger is never the right weapon. We cannot stay protected under fire and that is what anger is like. Anger is a fire that is never done, always ready to continue destroying lives, anger never finds rest. Anger continues to boil like water until the last drop then burning the pot from which it came from starting a fire that destroys the home. When you let anger out of control, you let a raging fire that could have been put out with the fire extinguisher of forgiveness to overcome you. Let this be a warning, make amends with those who hurt you, make amends with those who you hurt, apologize and ask forgiveness before its too late. If they were close kindreds then try to rebuild that relationship slowly. If a builder builds a house quickly then its foundation will fall apart. It takes time to build a house. It takes time to repair relationship but know that the effort is worth more than the work.You can beat anger and overcome. Anger is defeatable if you put the effort to resist its grip and hold in your life. For there is nothing you cannot accomplished if you become an instrument of forgiveness. Don't let anger tempt you any longer. Don't let anger override your sanity. Don't let anger become your personality. You must resist it. You must overcome it with love and mutual respect. And you must recognized that it is apart of nature that we can overcome with our minds. The most incredible thing that humans were given is their mind. With our minds can we change the world. With our minds can we overcome. Our minds can we perceive the world as limitless, impossible, and grandeur. The mind is the greatest gift because it can overcome any challenge if we focus it, if we mediate it, if we direct it, if we maintain it.

Hidden Costs and Lasting Shame of Financial Abuse
I’ve always been responsible with my money. I have a job that pays decently, although (like many in our inflated economy) I should definitely be making more for what I do. I regularly check my credit score. I don’t eat out much, nor do I spend frivolously on non-essentials.

The real end of a relationship is not blocking or deleting
When we talk about love, we are exploring an emotion that transcends words, a power rooted deep in our hearts. It is like a seed, growing carefully and thriving into the most lush branches in the soul. Love is not a simple sensory stimulation, it is a spiritual fit, a soul resonance, and one of the most beautiful gifts we can find in this world.
