Mental Illness, Wellness, and Working Toward a Collective "Togetherness"

Mental Illness, Wellness, and Working Toward a Collective "Togetherness"
I am currently quite ill, mentally and physically. I'm am Morbidly Obese, and I existing with Depression, Anxiety/Panic Disorder, Food Addiction, and Binge Eating Disorder. Even worse, I'm rapidly approaching middle age - an age which makes the world officially uninterested in a person's struggles. My issue's began when I was a child and never got better, just slowly morphed into a larger, far more complex beast.
With all that said, this page is for people of all ages. From being a child to being elderly and to all the years in between, it's never too late to change your life for the better and overcome the things that have plagued your life. In the end... Age is nothing but a number, the soul is what matters and every soul needs love and understanding.
Now, the main goal for me is Optimal Wellness, successfully living a healthy and fulfilling life. Optimal Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle.
However, my overall goal with this page is to help create a track plan of sorts that'll help others that struggle similarly to me.
I believe that Optimal Wellness along with Togetherness is the true key to overcoming Mental Illness.
When people band together, in their darkest hours, they're often able to find the power necessary to overcome their demons. I am hoping to find people like me, that suffer similarly to me, and build a community that strives together to reach Optimal Wellness and defeat our Mental Illness.

"Current Chronicles of Craziness" is my blog. Each day my goal is to write something. No matter how short or boring or whatever, my goal is to write something. It'll be an exercise of sorts to both keep me focused and as a means of keeping accountable and dedicated to my goal of Optimal Wellness.
Aside from writing blogs, I'll be posting videos and trying my best to get more involved in Social Media.
The message of utilizing Optimal Wellness and Togetherness to overcome Mental Illness isn't going to share itself. As I'm able to spend more time on all of this I'll do my best to branch out on social media to build a community of like-minded people.
(...Grrrr, this will be rough)
Stigma and Why I'm Doing This

Stigma and Why I'm Doing This
Mental Illness already carries a stigma BUT there are levels to that stigma. Just being upfront and honest about struggling with Depression and Anxiety/Panic Disorder is tough enough. Those alone carries a significantly negative stigma. Being a Morbidly Obese fully grown man with Food Addiction and an Eating Disorder? Yeah, it's rough. It adds extra levels of perceived pathetic-ness.
Especially being male with an Eating Disorder, in general... Add to that being Morbidly Obese annnnnd, yeah, you definitely feel judged. Those two things alone are a double dose of stigmas, having what's considered a more female version of Mental Illness & being fat.
Being open and honest about all this is absolutely mortifying. But if it means that I'll be able to help people that suffer like I do, that also feel like we don't really even live that we just merely exist in total misery... then fine. I'll deal with being uncomfortable and super embarrassed. The message is paramount.
Also I'm doing this right now because I am very physically unhealthy due to years of insane amounts of Anxiety, Depression, Morbid Obesity, and Binge Eating. It's going to take drastic measures just to heal my body and hopefully I'll be able to heal my mind at the same time.
The negative stigma of Mental Illness has followed me for nearly 25 years.
I grew up in a time where my two biggest Mental Illness issues, Panic Disorder and later Binge Eating Disorder, were either completely misunderstood or not considered a real Mental Illness by health professionals until recently.
It's time we all stand up and help each other. Less judgement, more understanding. More Love.
Together, We Shall Overcome!
