Mental Health Help Providers and Tips

(Compiled in March-November 2021)

Short Personal Story (SPS) in Three Letter Acronyms (TLA)

Since Y2K I have had RSI, which came back during COVID-19; so I did EFT, CBD, MBSR, ASMR & yoga.
I’ve self-dx with C-PTSD in 2017; in the past I’ve done CBT and EFT,  
but what helped the most was NVC, EMDR and SSRI / SNRI (Zoloft)! 
I have family members that are ND: ADHD, BPD, LGBTQ* and OCD, 
and sometimes I am myself one or all of those labels too!
