Showing results for "the-quiet" in Mental Health

A busy and hectic life can profoundly affect your ability to get a good night's rest. And it's even more difficult to feel relaxed when you stay awake worrying that you won't fall asleep. This vicious circle can quickly rob you of your quality of life, which is why it is so important to seek the most effective treatment for your insomnia.

Moving, harrowing, and ultimately uplifting, Lori Schiller's memoir is a classic testimony to the ravages of mental illness and the power of perseverance and courage. At 17, Lori Schiller was the perfect child - the only daughter of an affluent, close-knit family. Six years later she made her first suicide attempt, then wandered the streets of New York City dressed in ragged clothes, tormenting voices crying out in her mind. Lori Schiller had entered the horrifying world of full-blown schizophrenia.

An electrifying true story of one young woman's nightmarish descent into the hell of schizophrenia and her courageous battle to rejoin the real world, such is the story of Lori Schiller. Once she had it all - a loving family, devoted friends, intelligence, and opportunity. Then at age 15 she began to suffer from symptoms of schizophrenia, hearing voices that began to take over her life. At 23, she committed herself to a private mental institution and spent the next 7 years waging a war against the voices that urged her to kill her family, her doctor, herself. This account of a journey into and out of madness is at once gripping, heartening, and ultimately triumphant.

Millions of emotionally intelligent women — smart, aware, and self-reflective - find themselves in this exact trap. Overthinking every text. Second-guessing every decision. Holding on too long. Blaming themselves for everything. And all the while, losing their sense of self in the name of “love.” I’ve been there. I stayed when I should’ve walked away. I mistook “understanding” for abandoning my boundaries. Overthinking became my armor and I lost the ability to feel safe just being me.

In May 2003 prominent philosopher, author, and professor J. P. Moreland awoke in the middle of the night to a severe panic attack.

This audiobook's message is rooted in the philosophy that people inherently possess the wisdom necessary to make healthy choices and to live in balance. It emphasizes that self-love, acceptance of genetic diversity in body size, celebration of the unique beauty of every individual, and intuitive self-care are fundamental to achieving good physical and emotional health. It encourages listeners to shift their focus away from ineffective, harmful weight-loss efforts toward improving and sustaining positive self-care behaviors.

Meditation has been a big part of my life and has helped me in so many ways. From reaching the incredible quality of sleep to getting rid of a lifelong anxiety, it is unimaginable what our mind is capable of when it gets into a quiet space. The problem is, most people do not even know this place exists, or if they do, they do not understand how to access it. Frankly speaking, “gurus” of all sorts have not made meditation available to the average Joe, often picturing it as a complicated and secret set of techniques.
