Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I am successfully being treated for major depressive disorder. Besides seeing my lovely psychologist regularly and my psychiatrist several times a year, I put a lot of effort into self-care.

I hope my journey and efforts encourage you.

If you are having an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, go the emergency room or call 911 or your local paramedics. Call your doctor. Call the police. Call someone!!!!

You are worthy enough to be alive on this planet.

Illinois Residents

 I love that they named this helpline as the Warm line. We all need some warm and friendly people.
This information is from my local chapter of NAMI:


Illinois Warm Line


The Illinois Mental Health Collaborative for Access and Choice is pleased to announce the
opening of the Warm Line for Peer and Family support by telephone!

The Warm Line is a new opportunity in Illinois for persons with mental health challenges and their families to receive support by phone. Peer and Family Support Specialists are professionals who have experienced mental health recovery in their own lives as an individual or family member. They have been trained in recovery support, mentoring, and advocacy and are ready to listen and help you. The warm line is not a crisis hotline, but is a source of support as you recover or help a family member to recover.

Call: 1 (866) 359-7953

TTY: 1 (866) 880-4459

Hours of Operation: Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm except holidays

From the main menu, select option #2 for Consumers and Families

Next, select option #5 for the Warm Line: Peer and Family Support by Phone.
