		<description><![CDATA[Mind &#8211; When Parents Are Too Toxic to Tolerate &#8211; NYTimes.com.
I wholeheartedly agree. I also think it&#8217;s important to protect your children from toxic familial relationships so they learn to model healthy relationships filled with love. I have been estranged from both my parents and my only brother for several years now and it&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel &#8220;off&#8221; today. Kind of&#8230;flat. Don&#8217;t really want to do anything, struggling through work because there are problems causing confusion and delay, and generally kind of feeling tired and ambivalent about everything. Maybe I need a nap; I know going to bed at 4am didn&#8217;t improve my situation. It&#8217;s harder getting out of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have witnessed first hand the bootstrap conundrum. There is a prevailing attitude in our country that people who have problems need to learn to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, snap out of it, and &#8220;just do it.&#8221; A typical bipolar response to this attitude, however, is &#8220;how do you pick yourself up by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In ye olde days, doctors used to call it &#8220;compliance.&#8221; You were prescribed medication and if you took your meds, you were compliant. If, for whatever reason, you did not take your meds, you were labeled &#8220;non-compliant&#8221; with all the attendant bad juju that went with it. Non-compliant was fairly well synonymous with &#8220;difficult&#8221; or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Denial is an unconscious defense mechanism used by those faced with a painful reality. It is an automatic reaction in an attempt to reduce anxiety by denying thoughts, feelings, or facts that are consciously intolerable. It is common for those who are diagnosed with a life-long illness to go through periods of denial.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Someone recently related to me that they had received a diagnosis but weren&#8217;t sure they accepted it. I have seen this scenario played out in the bipolar community many times: &#8220;But I am not psychotic/manic/suicidal&#8221; etc. The &#8220;problem&#8221; with diagnosis, with any kind of labeling or categorization of a person&#8217;s personality or identity or deeply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking about mental wellness over the past few days, in response to the idea that a patient might not accept a diagnosis and the role diagnosis plays in mental wellness. I&#8217;ve also been thinking about the concept of &#8220;reframing&#8221; that my therapist has me working on, and the concept of mental illness. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s better to think positive and forget all the haters. They&#8217;ll all be dead soon anyway.
