welcome to the emotional feelings network of sites

A not for profit network of self help websites.
 
Click on the new page - the network guide - to introduce yourself to what this self help network of websites has to offer you.

welcome to anxieties 101....

welcome!
There are large numbers of people experiencing the realization that their mental health is not as it needs to be. While mental illness is being recognized by a more accepting social sphere, it's also the stigma placed upon mental illness that we hold, inside of our own selves that keeps us from finding the help we so desperately need.

7 very long years ago, I was in the same place that many of the visitors of this website have found themselves in:
 
"experiencing intense pain, hurt, confusion, lethargy, apathy and a severe depression."
 
In a recent article I wrote,
 

"Seven years isn’t a very long time; but it seems like a very long time when you are struggling to notice every inhale and exhale, every step your foot takes, every smell you breathe in, every single thing that you touch, all the sounds that you hear and the struggle involves becoming “aware” of each of those factors I’ve mentioned. I know this because I’ve been consumed with doing this very thing for the exact amount of time - seven years.

 

I’ve been aware of my diagnosis, my need for recovery and personal growth from a wide array of dysfunctions, illnesses – both physical and mental, an eating disorder, and several dozen traumas for seven years. Four marriages, five children, a few abortions, one custody fight, and many abusive relationships have colored my past as well. Can you believe I hadn’t been aware of what I was coping with for forty-five years until I began this recovery journey?

 

I was totally unaware."

24 hours a day, seven days a week, I was unaware of what I was experiencing in my life. Unaware of what was happening inside of my brain. I had an aunt with mental illness. My grandmother had her "nerve pills" that were really Valium. And  yet, no one including my own mother and father had ever mentioned I needed to be aware that I may have a genetic predisposition to mental illness.
 
I only knew pain, hurt and sadness. I only knew guilt and shame for experiencing what I knew was a mental problem. I had no idea how to deal with hurt, sadness, guilt or shame - never mind - "mental illness." I had lived in a world where everything was supposed to be "fine" my entire life. I wasn't allowed to have emotions or feelings or cry. 
 
That's what this site and the other twenty seven sites are here for. You are with millions mind you - millions of people - experiencing the very same thing. If you want to feel better, understand and learn more about yourself than you've ever realized before...
 
Then hang out here for awhile.

anxieties 101 is the mental health site for the emotional feelings network of sites.
 
This site includes information concerning mental illness. The mental illness described within this site includes anxiety disorders and depression. You can now view a menu of all the information that is available throughout the network. Check the navigational panel on the left side of this page to see the page to click on!
 
There's information about other mental illnesses, but the main focus is the anxiety disorder and depression because they very often are found existing together.
 
Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with Post traumatic stress disorder, depression and an eating disorder. I had been experiencing symptoms from the PTSD since childhood. I believe my mother was depressed. I believe my father experienced symptoms of PTSD as well. Some of his experiences in combat resulted in his symptoms.
 
I made a personal decision to find out why I was experiencing mental illness, learn as much as I could about mental illness and find out what I had to do to feel well, both physically and mentally for the rest of my life. I made a commitment to myself for the first time in my entire life at the age of 45 years old.

While I have a huge amount of empathy and concern for our military personnel right now, especially those in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as their families, it's still a fact that millions of people around the globe are in search of a "quick fix" to be happy and healthy after all!
 
I believe that we are all in pain, all of us, all needing help - so here I am, in my efforts to show you how I've had a very complete and successful recovery/personal growth journey over the past five years that continues still.
 
First of all, you must educate yourself about your diagnosis or what you believe you are experiencing! Here is what I have to offer you!

When I began designing my first website, I was practically computer illiterate. I spent more time on figuring out how to use codes & how to make certain graphics - that corresponded with mental illness & emotions & feelings. Some people are very visual. For these people, I've put together some graphics.
 
I was also freshly indoctinated into a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder, depression, eating & sleeping disorders with a chronic case of panic attacks to boot!
 
I had isolated myself from my family & friends, spending one year hidden in my upstairs office/bedroom!

So while I searched for information, I began to collect it on my hard drive. I copied & pasted all day & all night long. What to put on the websites for others to read had to be considered carefully, I decided. I read every article. I pondered & reflected upon the articles & informational data that I was accumulating. How to put it all together just came to me one day...
 
"I think that if others can do the same thing that I'm doing, by reading all these articles, offering those who need help - a simpler method of collecting information to expand their understanding of what was happening to their minds & their bodies.
 
In my excitement...  I thought....
 
I'll look up the words that seem more difficult to understand, post the definitions & I'll include an underlined link word system so if you're say, 'depressed,' you can click on that word to go to a page on a site within my network that speaks volumes on depression!!! 
 
Click on the underlined link word above, "depression!"  Suddenly realizing that I needed, not wanted, but needed to help others discover what I had. Thus, my theory of helping yourself, by helping others.
 
This will help people who are so helplesslost in the intensity of their symptoms from experiencing either a crisis or a trauma, a life dysfunction (divorce maybe), a mental illness or any other traumatic life event that is causing them to suffer difficult, even painful - symptoms!
 
This is how I came to my ever present motto:
 
Education is the key to understanding! Understanding is the key to recovery & personal growth!

Sluggish Economy Spurs Depression

video available: click here Depression & the Economy

The tough economy is getting lots of people down - literally.

Losing jobs and retirement savings has anxiety and depression symptoms soaring. The National Suicide Prevention hotline reports a 36-percent jump in calls over the past year.

Stormont-Vail West medical director Taylor Porter losing your job can mean more than just losing a paycheck. He says it shakes a person's identity, too.

The first step is acknowledging the stress, and take note of how it's affecting you. Porter says a person might notice angry outburstsincreased alcohol use, or trouble sleeping. He says people know what not healthy and, if they take a step back from the situation, know that it's getting the better of them.

To keep that from happening, Porter suggests taking time for exercise, friends and activities you enjoy. He also says to keep a plan of action. He says it may get frustrating, but as long as you're making calls and updating your resume, you'll have a sense of fighting rather than being passive and beaten down.

If it does become too much, Porter says get help. A catch-22 when you lose your job, though, is that you often lose insurance. But Porter says that doesn't have to be an issue. He says many safety net clinics will offer counseling at free or reduced cost. Not only that, he says avoiding physical or mental health treatment because of lack of money can lead to greater problems - and greater cost - later on if it develops into an even more serious issue.

What Do I Know?
by Kathleen Howe - your host at the emotional feelings network of sites
April 4, 2009
 
I can understand what people are going through now with the economy so bad. We're on the brink of foreclosure - have been living paycheck to paycheck - our car was already repossessed last year... GMAC's collectors triggered my post traumatic stress disorder when they started calling people who lived in our neighborhood to ask that they give us a message to call them. I was virtually unable to function for months. It didn't get better, it's gotten worse actually.
 
Last month, in the beginning of March, our check bounced for the electric bill. It was one of those - I deposited the check, but the bank was holding my husband's pension check - yeah... the one from General Motors.... and they wouldn't pay the check when it hit the bank. They charged me an additional one hundred dollars for the overdraft. The month before they charged me half of my husband's pension check in overdrafts for the same reason.
 
I was watching The Price is Right and the power went off. I called the electric company and they told me that they could see my payment finally went through and they added an additional charge for the bounced check. Now we needed to pay them a deposit to get the power turned back on. They had sent us back our deposit years ago for some reason and now we needed five hundred dollars to get the power back on. Now we needed to find five hundred dollars. If only I could get a free flight to The Price is Right and guess the exact amount of the prize to get that extra five hundred dollar bonus!
 
Wishful thinking... I bet lots of Americans have been doing some wishful thinking. Last year I had a yard sale to get the gas money to drive to New York City to be on that show, "Millionaire." No one wanted my junk. Gas was up around four dollars a gallon back then and I ended up not going to New York City because I couldn't afford to get there. I had the tickets and the appointment to take the test, but I just couldn't get there. I was so distraught.
 
My daughter, my adult daughter who lives in New York City was so upset with me for not going there to visit her; she labeled me a "part-time mother." She's an aggressive communicator. She's the one who has the largest chip on her shoulder. She thinks everyone else in the family hates her. She hasn't spoken to her sister in seven years. They had a fight right before the younger one's wedding and it has been Family Feud ever since. I don't think I could get enough family members together to play that game show. We're a dysfunctional bunch.
 
So for three days, until I could get five hundred dollars together we lived with no electricity. Early March in Ohio is cold. Thank God, the weather was mild and we have a fireplace. We had some candles, too. We also have two teenagers who thrive on electricity. No cell phone charging, no video games, computers, stereos or even television. The world was coming to an end in our house. They all fled and left me home alone. It was okay. Since my husband is a recovering alcoholic for over twenty years I don't drink much at all. But a friend had given me a bottle of wine for Christmas and I had it stashed away.
 
This was my perfect opportunity to lessen the pain. You can see for yourself in the other articles on this page that people do turn to alcohol or drugs or both in times of stress or hardship. I felt I had to do my part so I dug out our very unused wine opener. In the twilight from the light pole a few houses down, I placed the corkscrew into the cork. Although I was slightly out of practice, it had to be like riding a bike. Once you knew how... you'd never forget! But in less than three seconds the damn thing broke!
 
I wasn't going to lose it. I was determined. I grabbed a paring knife out of the silverware drawer and took the wine to my chair next to the fire. I started slowly carving out the cork. I was being very careful because I'm the kind of girl who is accident prone. This happens to people with mental illness. They don't pay attention as those with infinite clarity. I slowly cut that cork out, flinging the small pieces of cork anywhere they wanted to go. It was dark and I wouldn't have to clean them up until the next day - using daylight.
 
Suddenly that bottle of wine just popped! Literally it made a champagne sounding pop and I felt myself covered in dark red wine! What else could go wrong? Really! Small little things had been happening to us. My husband's daughter had turned eighteen the previous September. Child support was still taking the money out of his check, six months later. They couldn't get it together to emancipate her. They forgot to turn the paperwork into the court. Even after my weekly calls to them - they swore it was the court's responsibility - they couldn't get it together.
 
No one ever called me back when I was forced to leave a message. Three thousand of our dollars were stored in the child support bank and we were sitting in the dark for lack of resources. That's okay. They took our income tax refund too. We won't get that for six months because the child support people, in their infinite wisdom, showed us being negligent so they grabbed up our refund and we won't get it for at least six months.
 
My husband's health care plan has been in a precarious situation as well. (Oh... did I drink all the wine? It was horrible wine, but I did get one and one half glasses down the hatch!) I won't bore you with that baloney, but we had doctor's appointments coming up and my husband and I had to have teeth pulled in the midst of needing all of our money that wasn't available to us. Other people just had to hold it for us for awhile.
 
After the first night alone in the dark, the kids had gone to their friend's house, my husband got home from his part time job at eleven o'clock at night. He said the house smelled like wine. (or vinegar... he wasn't sure) He brought home the newspaper with a crossword puzzle in it, McDonald's hamburgers, and a flashlight type of light that could stand alone. I felt like I was on one of my favorite television shows, Ghosthunters. We did the crossword together and stoked the fire. It was kind of nice. We talked to each other instead of my husband being glued to the television and me, working on my websites upstairs. We actually had a good time.
 
The next night we got out the grill and cooked chicken and grilled cheese sandwiches. The kids stayed home and we went over to my daughter's house to charge up our cell phones. We played cards in front of the fire, me and my two teenagers and we had some fun. We got the shower radio out of the bathroom because it was battery charged and we listened to music and sang. We told funny jokes and farted until we gagged, but we laughed harder than I can remember. They actually admitted that we had fun.
 
There's something to be said for finding out what's truly important in life. If you can stop stressing out long enough when these things happen in today's economy... you might find them out. I know that the world is trying to drive me crazy, but I'm fighting very hard to not let that happen. It's something that I know is true. As long as we begin to trust the truth of the matter - we can be okay. That's what I know, and no one can take that away from me.

I've included a new guide of what is available within the entire emotional feelings network of sites! Please check the navigational panel on the left and you'll see it listed right under the homepage!

"i've just gotta say it!"
August 2009
kathleen howe
 
I'm back to work here and all over the network as well as www.selfgrowth.com - newsvine.com - my new blog at
living with emotional feelings, intuit.com, and I'm beginning to write for another online publication called the examiner.com. It's all in a days work! Typing my fingers to the bone has been most of my days recently, but I'm working on some other things as well, most directly - my own self. I suddenly realized that I was too focused on one thing - my mental health.
 
Last month I began changing my thought processes a bit to examine what goals I need to consider making so I can prioritize them and make plans to accomplish each one. I have let myself go, "physically" and that's not good. While my mental health continues to be a struggle, I was under the impression that I would be able to get it under control and be able to go on with the next thing. Mental health issues aren't quite that simple to beat or so I'm finding out anyway, especially being diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
 
I went to a sleep clinic and found that I was waking up between 35-40 times per hour each night. I have sleep apnea which has continually gotten worse with weight gain. My oxygen saturation is also sinking down to 50% at times while I'm sleeping which is also very bad. So I am getting a CPAP machine. I'll be writing my story about my sleep problems and how I'm trying to alleviate them within the next six months over at anxieties 101 on the sleep page.
 
I have also gained a huge amount of weight because of my leg. If you haven't read about my accident I had six years ago, I have had a very weak leg that swells constantly around my ankle, gives me too much pain and I can't walk but for a few yards and I have to sit down. I just can't exercise the way I have always exercise in the past.
 
So I am considering taking on swimming. I'm so excited about it. I have found that the only thing I can do about my leg is to lose weight and have cortisone shots into my ankle. Perhaps after losing some weight and strengthening my legs with a non weight bearing exercise I'll have less pain at the end of each day.
 
I'm also going to rent some yoga cd's and see if I can find one I like - then I'll buy it. I need to devote some time to relaxation, meditation and yoga. I'm excited that I've made the decision to actually incorporate these very important activities into my daily regime.
 
There's a website I'm very excited about and it's outside my network, it's www.innerbonding.com. I suggest that everyone visit the website and register to read some of the free articles Margaret has on her site. I'm registered, and I've added her to my facebook, but I'm going to purchase some of her materials and start working on inner bonding. I've found that this is the most important step for me to take in finding out how to love myself.
 
I have some issues within my family that I need to concentrate on as well. I will be taking some important time off of working and writing to see if I can interupt the dysfunction that's currently making many people within my family miserable. I have made plans to take a few trips on my own without the rest of the family so I can spend some quality time with a few of my adult children. I'm hoping that things go well with them. My first trip is in September and it's to New York City! I'm very excited about it.
 
Here at the emotional feelings network of sites I've been trying to get all the sites looking the same and finished. I've changed the homepages of each site or added a "network guide" which you will find directly after the homepage in the navigational panel on the left hand side of the page. Tripod is changing their site building program to a new one so each site will have to be transferred over to this new web tool. This month will be busy for me transferring over 30 websites to the new tool. It will be interesting so wish me luck. If you see strange looks or changes to the format or background you'll know why.
 
As soon as I get all the sites transferred over I'll be finishing up the current sites listed on the homepages and then tweaking them all so that each page will contain up to date information unless of course, the information seems to be timeless as some surely is. So as you can see, I've been formulating a plan to get these sites in tip top shape so they take less time to maintain.
 
I haven't had an income for seven years so that is one of my priorities. While I'll never make the emotional feelings network of sites a profitable venture - I am working on a project that will make money on the Internet so I need to keep my time frame flexible with working on the basics of setting up a new business. This is why I am branching out and writing some articles on other network sites so that I can meet some people who I may be able to do business with in the future.
 
Perhaps I'll be sharing some good fish stories with you all as I'm going to be doing some night fishing this month with my husband. August always seems to have the most meteor showers and the weather will be nice still before fall comes. I've missed night fishing with him. Part of my personal growth and recovery journey will now revolve around working on my relationships and my marriage is one that could use a small amount of extra work - so I pick fishing in August! Watch out you big channel cats, I'll be catching you with my mean ol' "Ugly Stick" soon!
 
As for all of you, I thank you for continuing to visit the emotional feelings network of sites. I've begun to pay for a few of the sites so that I could increase the amount of information on those sites as well as monitoring the visitors who come to the site. This information that's available to me shows me what you all are searching for when you come to the sites. So after I collect that information, I will research whatever it is you've been looking for and add the info to the appropriate pages so the next time you come looking the info will be there.
 
I'm thankful to get that information because it helps to guide me towards information that you all are looking for thus keeping me current and interesting! There's more to come that I'll tell you about in September, so keep visiting and send me an email now and then to say hello! It's those emails that keep me going!

happy spring! take time to be with nature!

Downturn spurs "survival panic" for some

Tue Dec 16, 2008 8:23am EST
 

By Nicole Maestri

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A paralegal, recently laid off, wanted to get back at the "establishment" that he felt was to blame for his lost job. So when he craved an expensive new tie, he went out and stole one.

The story, relayed by psychiatrist Timothy Fong at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital, is an example of the rash behaviors exhibited by more Americans as a recession undermines a lifestyle built on spending.

In the coming months, mental health experts expect a rise in theft, depression, drug use, anxiety and even violence as consumers confront a harsh new reality and must live within diminished means.

"People start seeing their economic situation change, and it stimulates a sort of survival panic," said Gaetano Vaccaro, deputy clinical director of Moonview Sanctuary, which treats patients for emotional and behavioral disorders.

"When we are in a survival panic, we are prone to really extreme behaviors."

The U.S. recession that took hold in December last year has threatened personal finances in many ways as home prices fall, investments sour, retirement funds shrink, access to credit diminishes and jobs evaporate.

It is also a rude awakening for a generation of shoppers who grew up on easy access to credit and have never had to limit purchases to simply what they needed or could afford. 

Instead, buying and consuming have become part of the national culture, with many people using what is in their shopping bags to express their own identity, from the latest gadgets to designer handbags.

For those who need to abruptly curtail spending, that leaves a major void, said James Gottfurcht, clinical psychologist and president of "Psychology of Money Consultants," which coaches clients on money issues.

"People that have been ... identifying with and defining themselves by their material objects and expenditures are losing a definite piece of their identity and themselves," he said. "They have to learn how to replace that."

DEPRESSION TRIGGER

Beth Rosenberg, a New York freelance educator and self-professed bargain hunter, said she stopped shopping for herself after her husband lost his publishing job in June. 

She is now buying her son toys from the popular movie Madagascar for $2 at McDonald's, and is wearing clothes that have hung untouched in her closet for years. She said it has been stressful to stick to an austere budget after she used to easily splurge on $100 boots.

"I miss it," she said of shopping.

Resisting temptation now could be even more difficult, as struggling retailers roll out massive discounts to lure shoppers during the holiday season.

Fueled by easy access to credit, a housing market boom and rising investments, U.S. household spending accelerated in much of the past decade while the savings rate declined.

After the attacks of September 11, 2001 killed thousands and shuttered U.S. financial markets, consumers were encouraged by politicians and business leaders to spend as a way of saving the economy and proving capitalism could not be crushed.

"We're getting these messages that it is, in effect, patriotic to spend money," said Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor and author of "Going Broke: Why Americans Can't Hold On To Their Money."

The United States is deeply dependent on such spending, with consumption generating 2/3 of economic activity. But problems arise when consumers become dependent on buying goods and services to cope with their emotions, Vaccaro said.

"We have difficulty handling our internal emotional state in other ways when we can't do that," he said, prompting some to seek out immediate gratification through drugs or alcohol.

MOURNING A WAY OF LIFE

Besides an increase in shoplifting, psychologists said retailers need to be prepared for more instances of violent behavior like that seen at a Wal-Mart store in Long Island, New York the day after Thanksgiving.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we see an uptick in crime, related to stealing," said UCLA's Fong. "I wouldn't be surprised if we see more workplace violence and more violence at the malls."

A throng of shoppers seeking rock bottom prices on flat-screen TVs and computers surged into the Wal-Mart store in pre-dawn hours, trampling and killing a worker in the process.

Fong said many shoppers have never stopped to think about why they were buying items, and it was easy to ignore looking deeper during a boom that support such spending.

But now, patients that can no longer shop to relieve stress have become anxious or depressed, he said.

Others fume: "'I used to be able to afford that, I should be able to afford that now, I deserve that stuff,'" he said.

But Vaccaro said the downturn could be a time for shoppers to pause and study what they are attempting to achieve or what void they are attempting to fill by spending.

"We don't buy products, we buy feelings," Vaccaro said. "We're buying the anticipation of the feeling that we think that product or service is going to give us."

Gottfurcht said he encourages clients to take a walk or do some deep breathing before making a purchase to avoid an impulsive buy. He also recommended that clients keep a journal, noting how they felt when bought an item.

He said clients should then check the list a week later to see if the "glow" of that purchase has worn off, and it only satisfied an immediate want, not a true need.

The greater opportunity of the downturn, Vaccaro said, is that it represents a chance to move away from "irrational" and "careless" consumerism toward "a more discerning consumer."
