My mission in life is to try and help America with their mental health crises. It seems to be a silent epidemic in America, I could go as far as saying it's a pandemic. I'm only one person, so I'm only worried about America. Plus I live in America and I can state facts from things I've gone through or witnessed, you might agree or disagree. That's okay. The definition of epidemic "is a disease or condition affecting many people by either person to person contact or environmental exposure in a community." Mental health diagnoses are all diseases, they are not "contagious", but they do spread and it seems like everybody caught it. (to some degree) There is nothing to be ashamed of, even if your own mother has shamed you. If your parents disown you because you have a mental health condition, that's their loss!! You need to be in a healthy environment in order to get healthy and stay stable.
I'm Doc KraCzie with an imagination and a dream. My imagination is unique and endless and some dreams of mine have came true. With that combination I truly believe I'm one step closer to making my number one dream come true: our country without; hunger and homelessness. We cannot control illness, and death is a fact, but we can control ourselves. You are the one to choose how you react and respond to a certain situation in your life. You cannot control another individual(s), so do not let them ruin your day. People only want a reaction, ignore them and if they push; you can take yourself out of the situation completely. Problem solved, but you're still a little stressed, right? It's okay if you feel a little (or a lot) overwhelmed. Try to take five to ten minutes privately to collect your thoughts and breathe. Go to a restroom, your car or somewhere you can get clarity. After you calmed down; say to yourself, "I GOT THIS, I AM GREAT!!!" and believe it, because it is true! You do not want to carry any bad feelings with you to the next situation, because they did not see what happened earlier. When I feel myself get overwhelmed I find my anxiety starts acting up. That's when I know I have to take a step back and use my coping skills. YES, I said it "coping skills", I used to laugh so hard at my therapist and psychiatrist when they told me to use coping skills, I asked "is that seriously a joke?". Honestly the ones they give you from the psychiatry book are useless, unless they work for you. Those are just a baseline of stuff to do, you create what works for you in that time of need. Mine are first I do breathing exercises to calm my heart and breathing, then I turn the music all the way up and jam while I do some kind of art or journal. If all those fail, I call a trusted friend. If I cannot find a friend at that moment then I text 988 and that ends with me smiling and feeling better.
At the company I go through to receive my psychological healing, they had this program I participated in to help stable Americans realize what people with schizophrenia go through on a normal day. I thought that was the greatest thing I ever was part of. Each class there was about thirty stable people that had to wear headphones all day while they did their normal routine to hear what we hear everyday, every second of everyday and function (correctly). After that we all meet at 4pm and they interview us. It made me feel so special that someone I did not know wants to know what I go through; an everyday battle.
I always been a great advocate for myself, because if I am NOT happy, doing self-care, sleeping, acting "right", are depressed-suicidal or something else is off; I want it to stop or get better. I call the correct person to fix it and they are on it, if you have the right psychiatry help. I am the first to volunteer to advocate for mental health in my community and country when given the opportunity. Instead of waiting I decided to start this website and do TikToks to help others. I know personally what it feels like to be lost, numb, confused, tired, wide awake, empty, visions, rage, voices, suicidal, super hero, sex addict and someone I'm not. Just because I can talk about openly and bluntly honest, doesn't mean I don't hurt anymore. I just do not want you to feel this pain I have, since the time I could think, I was doomed. I do not want you to feel alone and lost without hope, because that feeling is hard to dismiss and get rid of. There is hope, I am living proof!
