I have friends that are dealing with depression and anxiety also. I had a friend that was dealing with depression, and that ended up in his suicide.  My life has been touched because I personally do not feel that somebody should ever deal with these type of things, however, I try my best to put a smile on their faces for the time being. These type of things happen, but it just isnt fair and it saddens me that these type of things are caused by the judgements and influences of society. ]]> 2018-03-09 21:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240380153 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240399163 One of the associate ministers at my church has Dementia as well as my great Aunt]]> 2018-03-10 01:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240399163 8695934 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240406070 My fifth grade teacher had OCD and would be furious if he saw a messy desk or a "black-hole backpack." He would teach us to be organized and give incentives such as, bonus points on quizzes and punishments such as "silent lunch."]]> 2018-03-10 03:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240406070 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240408662 In my family, mental health was something that wasn't talked about and you were seen as weak. The way people would deal with things was ignoring the stress and anxiety. I have always felt that I've had a higher level of anxiety than the people around me. I would get panic attacks and completely shut myself out from the world. A couple of my family members have been diagnosed with PTSD. ]]> 2018-03-10 04:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240408662 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240519941 My entire life has been surrounded by people who have been dealing with depression and anxiety. I grew up helping other people deal with their problems with their life and their depression while dealing with it myself. I used to be a very shy and closed off person but I am slowly becoming an outgoing and cheerful person. I wanted to be a psychologist ever since I was in 6th grade because I wanted to help people with their issues and help them understand that they aren't the only ones dealing with depression and that I was there for them. I also wanted to become a psychologist because one of my best friends in middle school was diagnosed with severe depression and tried to commit suicide. I wanted to help people stray away from suicide because I believe that that is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. ]]> 2018-03-11 04:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240519941 My cousin has ADHD and when he doesn't take his medication he becomes kind of violent and can not completely control himself. He does a lot better in school now that he has a medication and diagnosis for it but at first he struggled. https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240559618 2018-03-11 12:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240559618 My grandpa has PTSD from his time in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He also had to deal with the death of his oldest son due to HIV and my other uncle nearly dying due to gun violence. My father has PTSD from his childhood and his time in Iraq and Afghanistan. https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240590344 2018-03-11 16:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240590344 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240601172 Most of my family has had mental problems to which they need to hospitalized. So I am pretty scared that it will happen to me in general. And it’s funny cause it’s only the women who have it worse And then my nephew has ADHD and he gets in trouble a lot, to which I feel he is being labeled as a troublemaker or blame it on his ADHD.]]> 2018-03-11 17:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240601172 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240645249 My mom has a history with depression which mainly began after she gave birth to me.

Sometimes they're hyper and then other times they're angry.

There are still some moments when it hits us both hard, but we both understand that we have people who care for us and are willing to help us in any way. https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240657697 2018-03-12 00:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240657697 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240683546 My mother suffers from anxiety all the time almost everyday. It makes her worry about me at all times whenever I’m not in her view. I think it’s stressful for her but also very limiting to me because I always want to make sure she’s doing okay but at the same time I was to have some freedom of my own. I’m constantly praying for her health and for her to always be in a calm state.

Even if he did have ADHD earlier, he didn't start taking medication for it until 9th grade.]]> 2018-03-12 03:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240685073 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240686217 It has been something that I have been dealing with a lot lately. It has shaped the way I view the world around me. As opposed to when I was younger a lot of my day just seems very morbid and uninspired .]]> 2018-03-12 04:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240686217 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240694182 2018-03-12 05:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240694182 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240694870 Well, my cousin has ADHD and it has affected him a lot in school and also in many social ways, so I am able to see how his life is affected. In my life I only experience a bit of panic attacks due to homework and asthma. For example if I can't breathe and I don't have any medicine around me I go full on panic mode and I get dizzy ans start coughing. Sometimes it gets super bad and I'll be rushed to the hospital.]]> 2018-03-12 05:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240694870 Mom’s friend with ADHD https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240982217 My mom’s friend has ADHD and from her having this I’ve realized that you can have a disorder and take care of kids because she has a kid who is very well raised. ]]> 2018-03-12 16:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240982217 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240988389 Both my grandfathers and my aunt have Bipolar and Depression, and my aunt and her dad also have Anxiety.

I personally don't think it is a big deal because it's how I've always been. It really didn't become a problem until the 6th or 7th grade when my grades dropped because i couldn't focus, that's when I started taking meds for my ADHD. I also have bad anxiety and that is something that is a problem every day. I do take medication for anxiety, and I most likely will for the rest of my life. ]]> 2018-03-12 16:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240988708 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/240988931 i suffered from anxiety attacks early in the morning before school

I always had trouble focusing and would talk to everyone. I also have friends with depression and deal with suicidal thoughts. This has impacted my life because it’s hard to see the people who you love struggle. You know there is nothing you can do to help because it’s their brain chemistry. The only thing you can do it be there for them. ]]> 2018-03-13 01:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241172233 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241178723 My grandmother has dementia, and, as a result, she makes up stories that she completely believes in. For example, she was convinced my aunt stole all of her belongings when she moved out of her old house, and she cannot remember anything unless it is written down and she sees it throughout the day. Also, whenever she visits she asks me if I like the clothes I have on and then proceeds to tell me how she got them for me for Christmas whether she actually did or not.]]> 2018-03-13 01:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241178723 ADHD https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241230152 I have ADHD but it's not severe. my 1st grade teachers thought I was crazy or mentally challenged because I moved a lot, and couldn't pay attention to what they were saying.]]> 2018-03-13 07:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241230152 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241355591 My dad struggled with mental heath issues which led to addiction problems, which then led to him going to rehab for 9 months. This has put into perspective of how important it is to speak up if you seriously need help because of the impact it can leave on others around you. It is scary to see ones close to you go through things like that. ]]> 2018-03-13 13:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241355591 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241417305 My cousin has had ADHD since he started school and he really struggles with his grades because he feels that his teachers do not even try to help him. He often times does not take his medicine in the morning and this causes him to get in trouble and end up having to go home for the day. I feel bad because they label him a bad kid, but he really is not. ]]> 2018-03-13 14:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241417305 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241426608 My best friend since childhood was diagnosed with ADHD as well as anger issues.

Many of us have not been diagnosed but we all try to help and understand each other as best as possible. My journey has been hard but I'm glad to still be here. I'm proud of myself for wanting to educate and help others with mental illnesses. ]]> 2018-03-13 15:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241437290 By the grace of God, I have yet experience any kind of major depression nor anxiety in my short life time. Even though I've faced rough times in in my life, I've never shut myself out on anybody nor on my self. I hope in the future I'll be able to endure life stronger than ever. I've also never had any family members whos suffers from any kind of illness so far. https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241439470 2018-03-13 15:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/241439470 Sequoia 8549211 https://padlet.com/kathrynb_kinser/e56vgcip7q74/wish/466161920 im doing great and a favorite mnemonic is:
