How Long-Term Hospitalization Severely Impacted My Dental Health

Dr. Beau A. Nelson, DBH, LCSWSome people seem to deal with difficult situations better than others.

In my cross-cultural studies researching display rules, I developed and published a tool for measuring facial movements, the Facial Affect Scoring Technique (FAST). A year after it was published, an anthropologist, Wade Seaford, showed me a facial movement on his own face that was not included in FAST. I was devastated by Wade’s demonstration, not knowing how much else, how many other facial movements we had missed in creating FAST.

As a writer, I live in fantasy. When I pick up my pen for my Bamboo Spark or turn on my typewriter or open Evernote, I’m opening a portal of fantasy. 90% of writing is pre-writing, pre-dreaming, and pre-thinking about what to do, how to do it, and what happens next.

It took me a while to finally have enough courage to push myself to take my first solo trip. I am glad I did because the lessons learned while traveling have had a lasting impact on my life.

I sit in the parking lot of my local pharmacy, fingers lightly clasped around the steering wheel like a loose forkful of pasta. My breathing is quick but not panicked. My heart follows suit — ba-dum, ba-dum-dum, ba-dum. There’s music coming from the radio but you couldn’t pay me to tell you what was playing… I have no idea. I guess numbness is the best way to describe what I’m feeling. My mind won’t stop racing or asking questions: Wasn’t I here two days ago? Didn’t I talk with a pharmacist this morning? Did I remember to call my surgeon? What else do I need to pick up so I can conserve energy and not make two trips? How long of a nap should I take to get this energy back?

If you’ve been reading my articles for a while, it might seem that I’m pretty articulate in getting my thoughts across. That’s the benefit of writing and revision: I feel much more confident when communicating in this way and I don’t have the immediacy of conversation to cause me anxiety. That’s because I’m a chronic “overexplainer” — talk to me in person or on a call, and I’ll keep talking… and talking. The more anxious I am, the longer it goes on.

self-aware person has a proverbial mirror that reflects outward and inwardly, and they’ve become accustomed to looking at their reflections. Here are some other things this person does without knowing it.

Like any nerd and creative, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was a formative part of my youth. It’s the television series that got me into fiction writing and video editing, and here I am making one of those things my career all these years later. I know thousands of people relate to that and that’s why “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was such a cultural reset and moment. I watched this video, and could still quote almost everything all these years later.

My eating disorder is a selfish, greedy monster. I was not the best team member, athlete, or person I could have been, but you stood behind me. It was not your job to help me, you could have ignored the signs and told me to keep up, but you didn’t. You may not know the affect you had on my life, so this is a thank you.

May 24, 2022It took just 30 minutes for Allison, 31, to receive a dual diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety from a psychotherapist on Cerebral. She joined the mental health subscription platform during the pandemic because the wait time to see an in-person clinician for an ADHD evaluation was long — too long for the mother of three children, two preschoolers and one 10-year-old with ADHD. Within one week of her diagnosis, a prescription for the antidepressant Wellbutrin was mailed directly to her home in Illinois.

Being alone makes me feel a bit small and awkward, then anxious as if people are looking at me and judging me as a loner.It’s okay if I’m meeting up with someone, but the idea of going to a show alone just because I want to is more intimidating to me than being the last man standing on a paintball team against a team of military veterans (I still maintain that I won that particular match.).I know that venturing out alone often leads to the most amazing experiences. But dear god, those first 20 minutes are the worst! I get cripplingly self-conscious, which is the flip side of my usual bravado.[Free Download: Social Anxiety Facts and FalsehoodsI’m still not okay with being alone while supermarket shopping.

Parenting is not an easy feat, there is so much pressure on our backs, that even the slightest bit of extra pressure can push us over the edge. The thing is, because there’s a common misconception that parents aren’t supposed to get angry, we are under even more pressure.Don’t get me wrong, when we do get angry and act out on our children, it isn’t the best course of action. However, if you are a parent and never experience an outburst, I would likely doubt that you are even human.

I have typed the question, “do I have social anxiety?” into my Google search bar countless times since the start of my journey with chronic pain at 21. Even before then, I dealt with anxiety for years. I often wonder where the dynamic, encompassing ripple effect of chronic illness ends and my anxiety disorder begins.

Self-advocacy is essential, vital, crucial, and life-or-death to the disability experience. We have no choice but to advocate for ourselves in all spheres of our lives – be it healthcare, school, work, or the community. And while self-advocacy is so crucial, and every organization has put out resources on it at least once – it is still. so. hard. to. do. And the concept still feels so out of reach to so many people. So – why is self-advocacy so hard? Why does it feel like we’re always talking about self-advocacy but not actually doing it? Let’s figure it out together.

I was born into a Roman Catholic family. We went to mass on religious holidays, had weddings and funerals officiated by priests, and prayed before meals at family gatherings. Like most of the other kids I knew, I was baptized, attended Catholic school from K-12, and celebrated my First Holy Communion, Confirmation, and Confession. I read the Bible, completed the mandatory Religious Studies in each grade, and memorized the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary. In my child’s mind, God was a mysterious and powerful figure who watched over me (which was simultaneously comforting and frightening), Heaven was an ethereal idea of the wonderful place waiting for me when I die, and Hell was the terrifying end I would experience if I had been a bad person.

What goes wrong when goal setting? You’re 42% more likely to achieve your goals by writing them down. (Dominican University Research)… but I’m sure most of you have realized writing down your goals doesn’t equal accomplishing them. The first step in accomplishing your goals is identifying what prevents you from achieving them.  For context, I helped over 170 people set goals last month, and when I see people struggle it typically ties back to these 3 reasons. Avoid These 3 Mistakes When Goal Setting: For example, a lot of Moms have a goal that sounds like, “I want time for myself.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great goal but how will you know you achieved it? Is 10 extra seconds to yourself a success? To make it more specific it should sound something like…“I want 30 minutes for myself at 8 am M-F starting June 1st, 2022, or I want one hour for myself at 7 pm M-F starting June 1st, 2022.”“If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.” – Lou HoltzI have definitely fallen into this bucket too many times to admit. I had to learn the hard way that setting massive goals can become extremely stressful.

I want to cover an issue that was born from illicit drugs, but has found a scapegoat in chronic, intractable pain patients. Patients stable in palliative care suddenly become the boss of a drug cartel. New limits on prescription access affecting arguably the sickest citizens among us. This is a unique problem affecting a fraction of those with incurable disorders, but make no mistake, it continues to cost lives. We need doctors making choices for patients, not legislators looking for the quick fix and a fast track to winning the next election.
