Mental Health

 

Doctor? How much will it cost?
Be honest?

This page is access to all my posts about Mental Health. However, that’s a vague heading because what exactly is it? Is it determined by how you feel? Your thoughts? Maybe your dreams?

Psych-girl is a “Third Wave Behaviorist” who thinks/believes/knows that what matters is what you do. Or your behavior. Furthermore, that that’s “up to you.” In other words, you are in control of your own mental health. (Up to a point, of course.)

We go back and forth and round and round. Notwithstanding, we agree I’m making progress and my therapy is money, and time, well spent.

My Fall

began some thirty-five years ago when my third wife, the mother of my son, divorced me. Up until then, I’d have said my mental health was great. However, (I could be mistaken.) Regardless, that’s when I first began taking a closer look at myself and how I “felt” about things.

This blog began when I was two years into Sessions with Psych-girl. (She doesn’t read it, nor do I share it with her.) However, it is, of course, public. I think it’s a part of my over all well-being; but less so than my sessions with her.

That said, let’s get into it. The headings below will take you to posts I’ve written here.
