Health Care It is serious

It is serious when you need care and are turned away and yelled at by Health Care Worker's.... The Illnesses that they are most afraid of are PTSD, Personality Disorders (especially split personalities), and people who cut themselves. They don't know how to deal with this kind of thing because there is little known about these invisible injury (PTSD) and illnesses.

Upon walking into a clinic or emergency room be prepared to have a long wait even if your in crisis. If you have suicidal thoughts be prepared to even be turned away or be told if you wanted to kill yourself we would have found you dead. If you experience seizures because of an illness caused by your injury such as PTSD expect bad bedside manner and to be screamed at by the nursing staff.

Looking for the correct help can be a challenge you may find a lot of dead end roads and even those who do not know how to deal with your illness or symptoms. They're many Mental health professionals unfortunately they are only scratching the surface of what they need to know. The best advice is to get peer to peer; someone who knows what you are going thorough. Help for you comprised of your peers; with similar issues. When in survival mode you need a lot of positive support, people who care and are going to be there for you whether you need or want it...

If you don't get the help and support you need you are inevitably headed for burn out. Take action when or if you recognize your symptoms. What is more important than your health??? NOTHING!

A Rare Look at the Secret Life of Orangutans - A review by Wandalynn.

A Rare Look at the Secret Life of Orangutans By Wandalynn Ellis 7/13/18 In this short film, “A Rare Look at the Secret Life of Orangutans” two passionate people dive into the unique world of the Wild Orangutans. Tim Laman, an award winning Photojournalist and Bird Expert with National Geographic and Melissa Lesh, an award winning Documentary Film maker, and founder of Emerging Earth Films from the United States, have constructed a creative look into the Secret Social and Cultural Structures of the Orangutans. In the lowlands of the Borneo Rain-forest, there is a research station headed by Cheryl Knott. This long term project also has a young adventurer, who captures “rare and never before seen footage of these ‘People of the Forest.’” This piece had dramatic cinematography, and a mood of passion and conviction. There is much strength to this film; including it being directed, produced and edited by one or two creative people. The combination of still camera, drone shots,...

Gratitude for the Men and Women of our Healthcare system.

To the Men and Women of the Nova Scotia Healthcare system I simply can not express the gratitude and thankfulness enough to these people. My name is Wanda Lynn Ellis (Boutilier) and I had been suffering for many years with C-PTSD, DEPRESSION, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), DD (Dissociate disorder) and DA (Dissociative Amnesia). I also suffered with seizures (non-epileptic), going blind temporarily, and could not control my impulses all the while my brain or eyes was seeing it happen. ... This is called Functional Neurological Disorder.  I suffered a lot, with such pain that I am surprised I withstood it. I was alone in life with the exception of a controlling boyfriend or husband, no family, no friends. When I started the healing process is when the seizures started happening, right after reading having the courage to heal. When no one knows the abuse you are enduring, they judge and look down on you. My responses were caused by unnatural acts caused by others. Whil...
