#Medium readers... If your family history feels like a knot of secrets & pain, you’re not alone.

I’m an autistic elder born in 1953. That's 7 decades of American history twisting my own neurodivergent family. Here's one refuge I found...

Check out ‘Slouching toward Montauk’ and see if it lands for you: text, illustrations, video, and podcast in one place.

American history… is complex. Never more glaringly obvious than this moment.

American family histories are twisted, braided, intertwined… sometimes strangled by that history.

This piece offers no fixes or safe moves. But it sheds a kind of light… a kind of refuge….

If you watch, I’d love to know: does any part of this echo in your own family story?

Heute ist Europäischer Depressionstag.
Dabei fällt mir immer wieder das Buch von Kurt Krömer ein: "Du darfst nicht alles glauben, was du denkst."
Seid gut zu euch und passt auf eure Liebsten auf.
Gerade in der heutigen Zeit!

“I can say that I've already seen it take a huge toll on the community and the people in my circle who are heartbroken to lose this service,” said Cassie Tenorio, the LGBTQ wellness and connection coordinator for Harbor, a northwest Ohio-based behavioral healthcare services provider.

Tenorio emphasized the heightened vulnerability of LGBTQ+ youth to mental health issues, calling the termination of the helpline a significant setback.

“We do need a specialized service for the queer community. It is so essential that the issues they're facing are taken seriously. Their mental health has higher risks of decline than a lot of other populations, and to lose this helpline is going to hurt a lot of people," Tenorio said.

"According to Harbor, the specialized option on the national 988 Lifeline has received more than 10.5 million calls since its launch in 2022."

Hey #fediverse, is there a recommended reading on recovering from #gaslighting ?

Just finished reading 'Unwinding anxiety ' by Judson Brewer. I highly recommend the book, especially now. It is extremely practical and gave me a much better grip on my thinking habits. On top, the ideas developed in the book apply equally to other habit loops we get stuck into.

#mentalhealh care in the US is like some third world country. We allow people who don't have the ability to care for themselves to wander the streets. As a first responder if I came to a child who was injured and they didn't want any help, despite serious injury, and I left them because they said they didn't want help. The public would be outraged and I'd probably be in jail. But we view mental illness differently. Even though their capacity/judgment may be worse than the child's.
