As many of you know, I went to the hospital this morning to get help with my depression. This is not what happened.
Apparently, my depression is not bad enough to be helped. What kind of bullshit is this?
It’s been hell living in my mind this past week, but because I don’t want to kill myself I’m not able to get help until my psychiatrist comes back from her vacation.
I was told to come back if I start feeling suicidal. What about before that? What about the people who don’t want to wait around until they feel like ending it all? We should be helping prevent the feeling of suicidal thoughts, not waiting until they come around.

While drinking coffee, I created Positively Wild. What other way is there to get work done? Must have caffeine!
My Mission:
To inspire. To be Positively Wild! Here, there are no damn rules! We drink coffee at midnight and eat dinner for breakfast! Okay, maybe no dinner for breakfast, I like my bacon. Anyways, I believe in Namaste'. I believe in positive mind means positive vibes. Most importantly, I believe in all of us being put on this earth to love and encourage. We all have something about us that makes us unique. There is something in our souls that say, we're passionate about this one thing, or many things. I want to encourage you all to let your light shine through. Forget all the jerks that said what you love isn't worth it. Fight for being you! I'm going to share with all of you how I express who I am. Encourage you to put thought into how you look, not for others, but yourself. Although, I want to dive deeper than the surface, how you look is one way to express your true self but also not being afraid to love your mind and share that with others is a great blessing. Something I'm even still striving to overcome.
A Little About Myself:
I love coffee. I love traveling. I love yoga, and I love being free. I packed up and moved last year from Arizona to Tennessee. Drove across country by myself, and created a new life with my boyfriend. It's a lifestyle change that is changing the way I act and the way I dress, I love it. My style has gone from heels 24/7 to something more casual each day. Light and airy, with a hint of bohemian/badass rocker. It's an experiment. I'm a Christian, a sinner, and happy. God forgives all. I'm diving deeper into my artistic creative side to myself, and I've got the space to relax and clear my mind. I rescued a black lab/pitbull mix from the side of the road. His name is Arizona. And I recused a little orange tabby kitten on a cold snowy night. His name is Leo. They're my little fur babies and I love them!
I'm excited to get to know all of my readers, I'm very into communication and will absolutely love to hear from you all! I'm excited to start this journey.

I know this feeling very well. The current society doesn’t seem to care if you feel awful and disabled by your mental illness. They just don’t want you dying because then it would look bad. I remember when I was living in the US I had to sign a contract saying I wouldn’t kill myself ON CAMPUS. I am sorry that you are not getting the care you need, I really hope something changes.

I understand, it’s ridiculous. But thank you, I will be getting care here soon thankfully. Plus some prayers were answered and that’s a huge relief for my anxiety!

That’s not what an ER is for. No, your depression isn’t bad enough to warrant an ER visit if a) you’re already seeing a doctor and b) it’s not an Emergency.. (that’s what the E in ER stands for)

There was no where else for me to go, it was an emergency. My depression had gotten out of hand and I needed help, which I was not given. I’m unable to see my doctor for 2 weeks.
