Why mental health stigma angers me

Michelle G. posted an article on - Aug 1, 2011, 8:36 pm
It usually takes a lot to get me angry. Cut in front of me in traffic? I’ll just smile and nod. But when people are just outright rude and mean, that’s a hot button issue for me. Recently it seems, there have been many celebrities/sports stars who have disclosed that they have a mental health i...

When I was younger, I was a dancer. I was a tap, jazz, ballet, and Hawaiian dancer until I was in 7th grade. I remember those years very fondly because it was so much fun to be creative, active, and with other people my age. As I aged, my extracurricular activities drifted into drama and cheerleadin...

Michelle G. posted an article on - May 10, 2011, 10:39 pm
Experts will be the first to tell you that in order to recover from a mental illness, you need to reach out for help. For many people, reaching out for help is the biggest obstacle in getting any kind of help. I know first-hand because I’ve been there I’m still there. For me, it’s been hard t...

Mental Health Awareness Month

Michelle G. posted an article on - May 2, 2011, 2:53 pm
Here we go into another awareness month. I’m coming off the hyper-aware autism awareness month (because for me, EVERY day is autism awareness day), and entering mental health awareness month. For me, these awareness months are like a double edged sword. I can tell people all about facts and figure...

(Late) Tasty Tuesday- Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Michelle G. posted an article on - Aug 25, 2010, 9:07 pm
I found this recipe online a few weeks ago. The first time I made it, I thought it was too dry. So, I tried a spice cake mix to see if that made the difference. The second trial produced another dry cake, but a spicier blend. Each trial I modified the cinnamon-sugar topping. One time, I added butte...

Stupid politician comments and the special needs community

Michelle G. posted an article on - Feb 24, 2010, 10:29 pm
It’s been a few days since the proverbial crap hit the fan once again in our special needs community, when another politician made a hurtful comment. Unintentional or not, it still stings when you hear leaders who are supposed to represent your needs in Washington, D.C., or in your state capit...
