Håndtering af psykiske problemer

Denne gang har Thomas ”Guffi” Vestergaard valgt at fortælle sin livshistorie i digtform. Dels som prosadigte, dels som lyriske digte. Det er digte om egne erfaringer med misbrug, PTSD, tortur, vold, traumer, desperation, angst, selvmordstanker, selvskade og frygten for at blive forladt. Men det er også digte om recovery, selvudvikling, håb, ønsker, parforhold og drømme. Der er sat tanker, følelser og ord på fortidens traumer for bedre at kunne forstå, hvorfor han tænkte og reagerede, som han gjorde. For Thomas er det vigtigt at forstå sig selv og sin fortid, for lærer man ikke af sine fejl, er man dømt til at gentage dem. ”Mange har takket mig for at sætte ord på tanker og følelser, som de har gået rundt med i årevis, efter at have læst mine digte på sociale medier. Jeg er taknemmelig for, at mine dårlige erfaringer og personlige udvikling kan hjælpe andre mennesker i en positiv retning.” – Thomas ”Guffi” Vestergaard Uddrag af bogen Jeg ligger i min seng, helt stille. Jeg kan ikke bevæge mig, jeg kan ikke sove. Tårerne triller ned ad min næseryg på min allerede våde pude. Jeg græder, men der er ingen lyd, kun smerte. Jeg er træt af at kæmpe, træt af at blive misforstået, træt af at føle mig forkert. Hvor blev livsglæden af? Det gik lige så godt, og så puf. Så var vi tilbage igen. Tilbage i drama, problemer og stress. Hvor blev glæden af? Hvorfor ligger jeg her igen? For jeg har jo ikke lyst til at være her. Men her er trygt og godt, jeg kender fortvivlelsen og afmagten. Tristheden er min ven, den gør mig tryg. Om forfatteren Thomas ”Guffi” Vestergaard er tidligere misbruger, nazist og bandemedlem. I dag er han international præsident for KOSA NATION, Europas største stoffrie motorcykelfællesskab. Han har også over 10 års erfaring med selvudvikling, ligesom han er mentor og foredragsholder med over 300 foredrag i bagagen. Han har tidligere udgivet Mit liv til skræk og advarsel og Spørgsmål til en mønsterbryder.

What is depression really? A psychological disorder? An emotional problem? A spiritual weakness? A medical condition? People struggling with depression are often given simplistic answers, which can lead to fear of seeking help, and even a sense that they have personally failed in some way. With compassion developed from their personal and clinical experience as psychiatrists, the authors tackle the complexities of depression from a multi-disciplinary approach. In this thoughtful and practical guide, they weave together Scripture with science, theology with cutting edge scientific research, and the stories of many Christians who have suffered, to help those with depression to find healing. For Christians, hope for depression lies in a deep understanding of both what it means to inhabit broken bodies in a fallen world, and the hope we have in the gospel. By fully grasping the implications of both for our bodies, minds, and souls, can we learn what it means to walk by faith even through the dark valley of depression.

Svær psykisk sygdom farvede livet sort med en alvor og tyngde, som stod det ikke til at ændre. Overlægen mente, det aldrig ville blive bedre. Pernille Kim vover den antagelse, at man i bedste fald kan komme gennem psykisk sygdom, men kun ved at lære at leve med sygdommen. mellem rum er en digtsamling, der kan vække genklang hos mennesker, som har oplevet eller oplever psykisk sårbarhed tæt inde på livet.

Digtene kan med deres betragtninger vække genkendelse og refleksion, men vigtigst være opbyggelige og give håb hos læseren.

Adolescence is the most misunderstood period of our lives. Coming of Age draws on a decade of expert research to get beneath the stereotypes, expose the myths and reveal the real reasons why teens behave the way they do.'Fascinating, moving . . . there is insight and kindness throughout this book' Daily Mail'Wise and compassionate, well-researched and straight-talking . . . shows how today's adolescents can be helped to flourish in life' Dr Gavin Francis, author of Recovery'Excellent and insightful . . . expertly presented . . . Foulkes is steeped in knowledge about, as well as respect for, teenage life' Observer'Hopeful, inspiring . . . leaves you with a greater understanding of your own adolescence, and greater compassion for those currently in its throes' Camilla Nord, author of The Balanced BrainCovering all the characteristic behaviours of adolescents - from peer pressure and risk-taking, to sex, love, bullying, friendship and more - adolescent psychologist Lucy Foulkes shows that time and again we mistake, dismiss and even try to prevent what is actually normal and healthy. Among many surprising insights, she explains why self-consciousness, anxiety and sensation-seeking are crucial features of this developmental phase. She shows that teenagers are socially conservative as much as rebellious, and that apparent recklessness is usually calculated. She reveals why being popular can be just as hard as being lonely, and why friendships at this age shape us for life.Adolescence is often difficult, sometimes extremely so, and most of us have yet to come to terms with our own. And yet Foulkes shows that adolescents have an extraordinary capacity for resilience, empathy and mutual support, and that even the most challenging experiences are part of an essential process of self-discovery. This is why understanding adolescence is the key to understanding ourselves.'Wonderful and deeply moving . . . shows us the potentially positive aspects of adolescent experiences so often seen as negative' MARK HADDON'Myth-busting . . . eye-opening . . . delivers many counter-intuitive insights' Guardian'Thank goodness . . . for this timely . . . and eminently sensible book . . .

By the time she was in her early twenties, Bassey was a spoken word artist and traveling with HBO's Def Poetry Jam, channeling her life into art. But beneath the façade of the confident performer, Bassey's mental health was in a precipitous decline, culminating in a breakdown that resulted in hospitalization and a diagnosis of Bipolar II.In I'm Telling the Truth, But I'm Lying, Bassey Ikpi breaks open our understanding of mental health by giving us intimate access to her own. Exploring shame, confusion, medication, and family in the process, Bassey looks at how mental health impacts every aspect of our lives?how we appear to others, and more importantly to ourselves?and challenges our preconception about what it means to be "normal."

Først blev maratonløb et hit hos danskerne. Da det blev allemandseje, begyndte vi at bevæge os ud på længere distancer. Først var det triatlon, hvor flere prøver kræfter med halve og hele ironmen. De senere år har ultraløb vundet indpas. Ultraløb er løb, der er længere end maratondistancen.Men hvorfor løber vi overhovedet så langt? Hvad er det, der motiverer os til at bevæge os helt derud, hvor alt andet er skrællet af, og hvor det kun handler om at sætte den ene fod foran den anden?Dette vil Anne Marie Geisler Andersen, en af Danmarks bedste kvindelige 24-timersløbere gennem tiden, forsøge at svare på. Et spørgsmål, der for alvor blev interessant, da hun, efter at have sat tre Danmarksrekorder i streg, stoppede midt i et løb, fordi hun ikke længere vidste, hvorfor hun løb. Bogen berører også den mentale sundhed, og hvordan Anne Marie har løbet fra sine depressioner.

Delve into a crucial exploration of the pervasive issue of sexual violence in underrepresented groups with "Ka Uma." This work sheds light on the sobering statistics-1 in 4 women and 1 in 26 men in the United States, and 6% of women globally-highlighting the prevalence of sexual violence. Recognizing the higher rates within underrepresented communities, the study draws on reputable sources such as the CDC, HRC, and RAINN to emphasize the urgency of addressing this issue.Scientific studies, including those by van der Kolk in 2014, reveal the profound mental and physical health implications for survivors of sexual violence. In response, this work advocates for the identification and establishment of a comprehensive framework for understanding the experiences and processes of healing from sexual trauma specifically tailored to underrepresented groups. By doing so, the study aims to contribute to the addressing and healing of the mental and physical health issues faced by survivors within these communities.
