Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
What It Feels Like to Experience a Panic Attack
There was no air in my lungs. Struggle as I may, they refused to expand. Instantly, beads of sweat broke out over my entire body. My throat felt like it was swelling shut, and the sounds around me became increasingly muted. My vision blurred and then everything turned dark gray.

Monroe CashionPublished 8 days ago in PsycheWhat Was The Solution To My Living In Long-Term Recovery?
"I'm Denise and I am a woman in long-term recovery." I use this as a means to share my recovery story. I needed to respect the anonymous program I have been involved in for 43 years. The respect has to do with not talking about the program at the level of press, radio, or film.
Denise E LindquistPublished 8 days ago in PsycheMe, a Big F*ck Up, and Another Chance
It's been over a year since I publicly humiliated myself on social media, unbeknownst to myself at the time. - over a year since I quite literally lost my mind. And by the time I knew what was going on all around me it was a little too late to salvage my identity. I ended up losing a lot more than myself - an in-studio internship I had been working hard nearly every day for - I mean I was just starting to get paid for my time and efforts, something I couldn't have even dreamed of. I completely failed my last semester in college, a semester away from graduating and this is where I happened to drop the ball. And what's even worse is everyone was there to see it, to judge me, to pretend that they cared just to get close footage of the wreckage and even though it was more than a year ago its something that plagues my mind till this day. I mean I lost all of my hair, beautiful thick flowing locs that just started to really drop beyond my shoulders - something I never had the luxury of enjoying as a young woman - robbed at the height of a psychedelic high.

Cutting Roast Beef With A Plastic Spoon…
I remember the day I was told I was going to be committed into a mental health facility. I’ll spare you the torrid details which prompted my commitment because in hindsight they are ridiculous 🙄.

Unstable Energy and Trust
We had the oddest interaction with a would-be filmmaker the other night. This “former addict” who claims to be six years clean, was, I am told, decidedly not clean when he approached a certain publicist just three years ago and told us on THIS call he’d just “had a Xanax” so he’s calm, anxiety in check. Um. That’s the drug he’s claiming to be clean from.
