White boy - Nosedive - a true story.

Anxiety and Depression are difficult to understand. Mental Health Professionals are divided on causes and treatments and, the confusion drove me to suicide.

I'm really pleased with this review and that people have started to engage with our book in a constructive way
I want to help others
I thought a book would open up a discussion into the complexities of humanity and wellbeing
I'm happy to talk

@educator4ever36 Odd.
I learnt the hard way to look after myself.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

That knowledge is power.

@RealAdamHunt Or, perhaps, employ individuals with the best characteristics for the task.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

We all have ADHD characteristics - failing to live within their parameters leads to disorder.
Each of us has our genetic makeup and we can only be ourselves - nothing else works, so I’ve been told. @conqueranxietyB

[sami timimi @stimimi]

About a quarter of “healthy” young adults think they have ADHD (28%), according to new research. But that number jumped to more than half (58%) after they received an ADHD awareness campaign based on popular ADHD advocacy groups’ material. worrying? https://t.co/vBfLIETfdg

@RealAdamHunt You don’t think conditioning has anything to do with it ?

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

Yep - agreed, and our book is jam packed full of all the awkward taboo subjects. Great for getting a discussion going.

Self-directed personal development seems to be the only way.
What you read makes all the difference.
I’ll be eternally grateful to @conqueranxietyB for bothering to argue and slog it out with me.

If you’re having difficulties with your #mentalhealth or other related issues, talking them through in a safe environment can bring about amazing personal growth. https://t.co/rkEnaOcxEf #transformationtuesday

I am, for the first time in my life, having to consider how common it is in society for couples to have a child to fix the marriage that saved a relationship. The simmering struggle for recognition in which the child gets caught.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

The way we help students with stress is to help them to master that stress or see the trigger as less stressful, not by confirming that the source of their anxiety must be avoided at all costs.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

@tabkrauskopf @MmeLockhartLDS Indeed - professionals need to differentiate more between Anxiety and Anxiety Dysfunction. Anxiety Dysfunction is the gateway to all disorders - for me, it was.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

Yep, I spent 30 years in the mental health support system. Looking back, post recovery, i had bestowed upon me a poor understanding of the natural purpose of Anxiety, and, thus, had developed Anxiety Dysfunction.

@educator4ever36 life requires a gradient.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

They sound like perceptions rather than stereotypes.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

I work with children who identify as ‘trans’.

The girls hate being female because they think society views them as ‘weak’ or ‘vunerable’.

The boys hate being male because they feel pressure to be ‘strong’ and ‘tough’.

Children being irreversibly harmed because of stereotypes.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

@RealAdamHunt Depression seems to be a malfunction, from which most people recover. Some others kill themselves and in the remainder it lingers chronically (but, doesn’t seem to prevent them from having children).

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

@stimimi It encourages chasing ideals.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

@RealAdamHunt I had a fairytale childhood, and, then, at the age of 12, suddenly, I lost altitude and sank.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

@BadreNicolas Thank you

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

Depression seems to have become a ‘rite of passage’. Suicidal thoughts are a process with varying outcomes - I got lucky.

[Patrick Lockwood @AlobhaPatrick]

Suicide is simultaneously complicated and simple:

The simple: life becomes unbearable and meaningless. Despite the reality that life is worth living.

The complicated (some mixture of some of these usually): psychological pain, chronic illnesses, lack of existential meaning, personality pathology, problematic drug use, under managed trauma, early relationship issues, deficiencies of narcissism, metabolic issues, (unrecognized)cancers, shitty friends/ community, cowardice, lack of inspiration, hopelessness, impulsivity, access to means to die.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

Anti-depressants are an exploitation of members of a society that can’t handle themselves or their situation. It’s usually an uncomfortable heritage of kin.
Looking back, I’m no longer surprised it’s happening.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Psychiatrist exposes the truth about antidepressants they don't want you to know.

Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring reveals the "chemical imbalance" story is an easy sell, but a lie.

Depression is complex. Pills just mask the symptoms. And then... tolerance hits.

The drugs wear off. You're maxed out on dose, still broken, and now what? Polypharmacy.

You're put on a 2nd, 3rd, 4th drug. When those fail, it's on to ECT & TMS.

The biggest lie? You're told you have "treatment-resistant depression." The truth? Your body adapted to the drugs, exactly as predicted.

You're not treatment-resistant. The model is broken.

[White boy - Nosedive - a true story. @conqueranxietyW]

Depends?

What’s the biggest challenge to the notion that is ‘mental health’?

For me, it was a misunderstanding of what nature had intended as the natural purpose of Anxiety, this led to me developing Anxiety Dysfunction which i believe is the gateway to disorder

Good morning!

I’m heading to DC today and would love your thoughts — what policy changes do you believe could make the biggest impact on Americans’ mental health?
