Words Of The Wisdomless: Friendship

Words Of The Wisdomless: Friendship:

"Today a FaceBook friend sent me a nice quote - "Friends are like walls. Sometimes you lean on them, and sometimes its just enough to know they're there." 

Yes, I had four friends like walls,  BUT... I had to knock them down!!!  I was getting too claustrophobic.

Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia (from Latin claustrum "a shut in place" and Greek φόβος, phóbos, "fear") is the fear of having no escape and being closed in. Claustrophobia is not a clinical diagnosis and the technical term for these symptoms is Agoraphobia. It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder and often results in panic attack. One study indicates that anywhere from 5–7% of the world population is affected by severe claustrophobia, but only a small percentage of these people receive some kind of treatment for the disorder.

Words Of The Wisdomless: Build -

"It is never what you do that makes people remember you, it's who you do it to that makes it for ever.  It can come back to bite you and knock you down or build you up and put you in the clouds. Be the builder not the wrecking ball."

Mental health Awareness Month 2010

As a Mental Health Advocate each year for I try and make an extra effort to bring awareness to Mental Health during the month of May.  This will be the 3rd year that I will do the Cartoon-A-Thon.  This is when I draw 31 cartoons about mental health and post them on the site http://mentalhealthcartoons.com

Last year we had a record number of visitors with over 22,823 unique visits just in May 2009.  Over the past year the site has attracted 115,161 peers, providers and caregivers from around the world.

It bring me so much joy that their are so many that like the cartoon enough to keep coming back and even using them in newsletter, book, magazines, blogs and websites.

As an amateur Cartoonist and peer living with Bipolar Disorder doing the Mental Health Humor Cartoons has been my own art therapy and a labor of love.

Over that past year I've been teaching myself to draw caricatures. This year for the Cartoon-A-Thon we are going to draw 31 caricatures of sponsor and people working hard in the mental health community far and wide.

If you want to be part of the cartoon-A-Thon now to reserve your day of the month.
