"BEHIND THE MASK" THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS , Clovis NM BIPOLAR PTSD NEW MEXICO USA

This video should speak for its self. This is dedicated to the millions of people who suffer from Mental Illness. For the misunderstanding by others and to end the misteatment of so many. I have Bipolar 1 PTSD OCD Tramatic Brain Injury, survivor of, childhood abuse, childrens homes, domestic violence, alcohol and drugs. I work, I love, I write poetry, love photgraphy. I am an activist for animals and human rights. I am a women, a wife, a friend, a sister. I am so many things. I am so much more than a illness and I will fight for those who cannot stand up for themselves, who have been abused and abandoned. Thank you to my YT and FB buddies for your love and support. Even if you do not underrstand Mental Illness or Domestic Violence..............please reach out to your friends and family if you see this. Early intervention is crucial. With new technolcy of brain imaging so much more is possible. We are moving in a great direction of treatment that involves many things, medication, vitamins, diet, relaxation, excersie and so much more. But the greatest thing that can help anyone is LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING..................to treat another human with compassion, empathy is massive to thier recovery andfor them to know they have a purpose and place in this world. The mark of shame has put these issues behing closed doors for to long. To stop the STIGMA we talk about this . To stop the suffering of thosands we do something about this. Reach out to those in need. If you have any questions feel free to contact me

I am reflextion of how you see me and if you smile at me you change my world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Songs are by the amazing Annie Lennox from the album
"Songs of Mass Desruction"

Love and peace Carol :):):):):):):)

I am glad you both enjoyed the vidoe and hope it will in some ways bring you peace of mind. I hope more people will understand these terrible illnesses that we struggle with on a dalily basis. Wishing you and your daughter love and happiness. God bless you, Carol :)

Need feedback, I was a looser, I have bi-polar and ocd, Ive changed Im walking with the lord now but Matthew 13:57 is my situation. Family dont give me respect, Im in Bible college and doing great. Nobody takes me serious, moved back in with my parents after divorce, Im 40 and I just dont know what the solution is. I dont have the means to move out right now, only thing I know is to walk around like a mime. People I talk to outside family respect and talk with me and dont put me down :(

@SuperGolfing1 Your not a looser! We have an illness that is misunderstood and we are often a great target for people to put us down. Keep walking with the Lord, keep talking to the people who don't put you down. I stay with people who accept me now. I have nothing to prove to anyone but meyself. Think of all the wonderful things you want to do. You may not get to all of them but have faith. Keep going to College. The one thing I find helps is walking those blues off. Love yourself!

Wonderful! This is an issue who's time has come to be put under the spotlight. Mental illness aflicts more people than we know, and all have to suffer not only their frightening pain, but also the stigma that society places on them. Thank you thank you.

Very dramatic, very powerful video my dearest  Carol!!!!

You know you can count on me , no matter what!!!!

@FairBlueRose I sense anger. Faith and empathy is a trait I posses. If you are referring to me as a person who do not feel them(like narcissism), then you are clearly trolling.

"I'm curious if your like these people that fear and hate on what they don't understand."

You should analyze on your thoughts more to better understand your surroundings and interaction with others..positively. Negativity, most often than not, is the base of undesirable consequences.

[FairBlueRose]

@tkathryyn ...Do you know what faith is? Do you know what empathy is? Please, tell me these definitions. I'm curious if your like these people that fear and hate on what they don't understand.
