Ep. 69 What's the difference between a mental health condition and a mental illness? A mental health illness has to be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional or other medical professional. A person cannot diagnose themselves with a mental illness. However, a mental health condition is really any moment in time that someone is dealing with the effects of lower mental health status.

One in five Americans will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. This includes things like grief, bouts of sadness.  Examples of mental health illnesses that I personally have been diagnosed with include major depression and bipolar disorder. The great thing is that healing is possible and anyone can begin their recovery journey when they're ready.

Ep. 63 What does it feel like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder? Right now, Kelly Marie is dealing with a depressive episode and during these times she finds that her BPD is "closer to the surface" now than when she doesn't have an overlapping depressive episode. She's been implementing the tools that she knows helps her to manage her mental health conditions and one of those ways is through journaling.

JOURNAL ENTRY 11/27/22:

When I feel this way, I feel raw. Like someone has peeled away the layers of my skin, one layer at a time they expose me and my feelings to the world. I feel tingly. Not in a good way but in a scrubbed hard with a bristle brush way. I'm only guessing because I've never been scrubbed hard with a bristle brush. What am I supposed to do? I just want to lay in the bed and cry. I feel like everything that I say is wrong. I'm sharing too much or not enough. I can't find the right words. The struggle for basic words that I know I know but they just don't come to me. I can't figure out how to put thoughts together and connect them to sentences and words in order to explain what I'm thinking. It's taking everything I have, okay not everything, but I am really struggling with managing my emotions right now. And I don't know what to do. I'm implementing the tools. I'm writing down my feelings. And journaling. If this counts as journaling. Actually, I know it counts as journaling. But I'm just raw. I feel naked.

Listen in to learn more about how Kelly Marie is managing her conditions while still living the Front Seat Life.

Ep 62 Habits, whether good or bad, are created over time. That means it takes time to break those habits and create behaviors that are more beneficial to living a health life. Rose Ann Forte's book “The Plans He Has For Me” was designed to help you do just that.

Join Kelly Marie and Rose Ann as they discuss unhealthy habits including drinking alcohol and eating processed sugar and how to use the 12-week devotional to break free and live your life according to God's plan. 

Download the free Kickstart Method for Alcohol Freedom www.theplanshehasforme.com 

“This journey is a journey of practice and rewiring the beautiful mind God created for each of us. He created a mind that saves us energy and remembers routine behaviors, so we don’t need to re-teach them to ourselves each time we do them. Think about how we can drive to and from work and not remember how we even got there and back to our driveway. Think about the routine you do before you go to bed at night. There isn’t much thought put into these things because it’s the perfect energy-saving mechanism designed by our Creator.” - Rose Ann Forte

ABOUT THE GUEST:

Rose Ann was a successful C-Suite executive and ministry leader in the church. She was a working mom of four and a social drinker. Over the years, life’s stresses and a difficult marriage created an environment where her alcohol usage increased significantly. After the collapse of her marriage, her drinking further escalated and she felt like a fraud with God and the Church. AA was not an option in her mind. She had already submitted to God and didn’t want to call herself an alcoholic. When COVID-19 hit, she enrolled in a coaching program to put alcohol to the side for three months. Her experience was extremely transformational, and she recognized God’s instruction embedded in the entire process. She became free of the psychological slavery of this habit through this process. She identified what alcohol had stolen from her life and understood that God had a better plan for her. Rose Ann felt called to document what she learned with a daily devotional so others can experience God’s promises through scriptural instruction with hope and a better plan for the future.

Ep. 60 There was mold in the dishes, and I kept ripping off my clothes. That's when I knew something was wrong!

Coach Kelly Marie is back and getting real about her mental health journey--the good, the bad, and the ugly -- in order to help others who may be going through similar experiences. Join us on this journey of assessing the warning signs of an oncoming depressive episode and exacerbated Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms. 

Kelly uses checklists to monitor her mood and behavior to be able to detect a depressive episode and things weren’t looking too good. After a recent therapy appointment she had the motivation to finally wash her dirty dishes. They had been sitting in the sink so long when she opened them they were moldy!

The next day she got dressed for work and her clothes did look right. She tried on something else and that outfit didn’t quite look right either. She gave it another go and found something else to wear. She looked in the mirror and couldn’t understand why her clothes were betraying her.  Frustrated and on the verge of tears, she sat on the side of the bed and realized what was happening. Whenever she is unable to find clothes that “fit” or “look right” after multiple tries, she knows it’s a sign she may be struggling with her mental health. 

Join her on this episode as she navigates her disorders and continues to drive in the front seat!
