offer empathy,compassinon and comfort to all able in their time of need. learned my own life lessons and difficulties as all do. unofficially diagnosed as"asocial" in kindergarten after being separated from my twin for the second time,this time age 4. withdrawn,kept to self,sad etc. official dx-13-14 with severe depression. dx with severe treatment depression by 1996. waiting now to hopfully receive the only treatment that worked for me-vns. it was approved by fda in 2005 for trd,medicare covered it 2006-stopped covering it 2007. no one ever said they didn't work-still and always could get one if pay out of pocket. then they made mor difficult to maintain. I am still wishing to return to meaning and purpose. I feel that though my life remains difficult there are gusts telling me a time,positive is soon to arrive where I will further be able to fufill my life's purpose-to educate all on the truths not the lies of psychological illness. it is time every pt regardless of what made them seek help be treated with dignity,respect,empathy,compassion and comfort-these seem basic but they are hard to find or to be offered in today's medical world biological but even more so when it appears that healing others pain and suffering has become a way to make money too often more so then a place to offer healing and care. to many have become involved in the healing arts for what they can gain rather than what they can give. I know false theories,false information and false means of assisting one to heal are heard louder than the truth of how to assist someone in their pain by,supporting their strengths and their courage to discover the life they deserve is not often even considered. no one can fix/change another but one can walk with them on their journey to health. the biological and psychological are intertwined and inseparable. if you assess and treat for one you will end up with what we have the most of chronic illness/chronic pain. that is not healing.
