Unstable Energy and Trust
We had the oddest interaction with a would-be filmmaker the other night. This “former addict” who claims to be six years clean, was, I am told, decidedly not clean when he approached a certain publicist just three years ago and told us on THIS call he’d just “had a Xanax” so he’s calm, anxiety in check. Um. That’s the drug he’s claiming to be clean from.

Scene 12
Recently, I have noticed a rise in mental illness diagnosis. Especially in depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders. When I asked Google what classifies you as having one, all it said was, "Conditions that affect mood, behavior, and thinking are what make up a mental illness disorder." That makes sense, however, I thought there was going to be more to it than that. The denotation to disorder is heavy, and a detriment to our own well-being. Oxford dictionary describes it as this, "--significant difficulty, distress, impairment and/or suffering in a person's daily life." If society was living in a state of impairment, we wouldn't have made it this far.

Interviews with a Big Black Broad: Sessions #7
Interviewer: When did you began to seek professional help to treat your BDD? BBB: I'm sure it's not surprising that I was reluctant. I was complacent in dealing with my issues on my own up 'til the age of 28. I hid from mirrors. I would dwell in front of mirrors. I took down mirrors. I put them back up. I spent all my money on food, alcohol, makeup, hair products and expensive girdles of all kinds. I hid from the world for days and weeks on end. I drank to endure those moments when I gave in to the mounting pressures I felt to rejoin the world even when I felt the worst about myself. The annoyance of having to deal with a disorder that caused me to focus so much on myself had also taken its toll on me. I wasn't a purposefully vain person. I wasn't someone who would choose to be so self-consumed. I wanted to travel the world. I loved people and wanted to meet more of them from all walks of life. I didn't want to assume that everyone who stared at me only did so because they saw someone ugly. I needed the courage to live the life I ultimately wanted. How could I live any longer without being able to face myself in the mirror? Without being able to leave my house without being inebriated in some way? So, I faced the fact that I would remain stuck in the same positions in my life (literally) if I didn't at least try professional help.

Interviews with a Big Black Broad: Session #6
Interviewer: Did you try any permanent cosmetic solutions as a result of your experience with BDD? BBB: I've wanted a nose job since I was about 7 years old. I also wanted lighter skin and straighter hair at that age. By the time I was 12, I wanted all those things, plus a short smaller, more feminine frame. Again, I was a foot taller and wider than my pubescent peers. I had been compared to popular football linesman and EVERY hairy farm animal on the planet. I just wanted out of my body one way or another. I prayed to God that one day, he'd turn me into one of the pretty girls. Later, I learned to avoid the mirror all together because He didn't seem to be listening. After my adolescent years, I couldn't seem to successfully accept or reject being ugly. I was stuck in a pattern of eluding myself, which became both confusing and petrifying. I was isolated: mind, body and soul.

Is the UK Doing Enough for Mental Health?
Recently, the deaths of famed rapper Mac Miller, actor Robin Williams and reality TV star Sophie Gredon shook us all to the core we are most scared of—ourselves. Yet still our fears, and our relationships with our own mortality aren’t a conversation for anyone with an aversion to nihilism. With depression being now at epidemic proportions, the UK has now employed a minister solely for the action of suicide prevention. Is it enough? One in five young people have waited over eighteen weeks for mental health intervention. Is the conversation enough?
