When to listen and when to ignore advice

Tell me this, would you listen to someone that said I just watched this YouTube video on dental  surgery, you don't need to see the dentist. I can take out those wisdom teeth, because they only want your money. Hopefully you wouldn't, the same rule applies for mental health issues! Without the proper training and experience,  you can honestly potentially kill a person by not having the proper skills to treat and diagnose a person  Unsolicited advice, does more harmful than it does good, and comes from opinions and not actual facts.  In today's world, everyone is a so called expert in health care and nutrition. Really a more exact way to say that is, everyone thinks they are an expert.  I have a psychology degree and ADHD, I'm also a former 911 operator and I have a diploma in Human Services. Yet there is tons of information about myself and others that I'm not aware of. It's not that I don't have the resources to get it, it's more a fact that no one k...

When the biggest obstacle in getting the treatment you need, is your family

This issue is kind of close to me, coming from an abusive family, where they would not only treat me like I was beneath them. But also  when I stuck up for myself I'd be physically and emotionally abused, and treated as if I was the bad person. Family can be as toxic as cancer, when family members stop you from getting the help that you need.

Instead of being the fault of having a valid medical condition, which impacts every single aspect of a person's life.  Thankfully  I learned to disregard their toxic petty remarks, regarding the difficulties of having ADHD. I nstead of letting comments such as "ADHD isn't real it's just an excuse to be lazy and stupid or Adduhhh"  and so on.   What I did is focus on the following things. Instead of focusing on the harmful abus...

Taking the Toxic Out of Relationships

People are bad at relationships, let's be honest! They hold on to toxic relationships, whether it's a family member, work acquaintance, romantic relationship or friendship or any other type of relationship.   Toxic people hold us back, and make us feel as if we're the ones who are at fault. When in actuality we're not.  Regardless of the type of relationship that it is, there's a few key things to keep in mind. When you are deciding whether or not that relationship works for you, that you should ask yourself.  Is the relationship one sided?   Does the relationship, bring you more stress and grief than positive things?  Is the person there for you, when you need them?  Are they jealous of your success?  Is the relationship give and take, or do they just take?  Do they respect your boundaries?  These are important questions, because they determine the person's intentions and how much they value the actual relationship.  Al...
