http://www.rising-phoenix.us/2014/08/upcoming
Taking Back My Life from Mental Illness. I have a few ideas for new posts and wanted to share them with you. Here they are, in no particular order:. Masks – every day we have to wear “masks” in public. It can be difficult, painful and even dangerous. GISHWHES – This year I took part in GISHWHES, created and run by Misha Collins. It was a very interesting and fun experience. For those who may not be familiar with GISHWHES, it stands for the “ G. Een”. It was an amazing experience and a lot of fun. Posted:...

Taking Back My Life from Mental Illness. Ice, Ice Baby…. Here is a coping mechanism that is sometimes taught to people who have BPD and/or other mental health diagnosis that include aggression. The technique I am talking about is cooling your extremities. This can be done in multiple ways. I have experience with this technique in both a practical approach as well as an academic approach.
