This website was actually the original website of the entire network.
It was designed to show how our mental health can affect all of us - no matter what gender or what age. It also shows how
our lifestyle factors affect our mental health.

abuse 101
Abuse and domestic
violence were once included in the original site website I designed - anxiety understanding - but had to be taken out when
anxieties 101 became a reality. It was important to me to include this in information pertaining to mental health because
I personally lived in domestic violence my entire life, but had never known about mental illness.
Even after visiting
the emergency room almost everyday for one year, no one ever told me I might be experiencing an anxiety or panic attack. I
had several endoscopic procedures and saw specialists regularly, even took Percocet while pregnant to control my chest pain
because the specialists didn't understand what was causing me the unbearable pain.
I was finally diagnosed
with post traumatic stress disorder, depression and an eating disorder. I firmly assert that all victims of abuse and domestic
violence need to engage in a mental health assessment when entering shelters, as well as their children. If mental health
was a priority, perhaps it wouldn't take women so long to leave their abusive husband, partners, parents, or whoever instead
of it taking up to seven times of leaving the abusive situation to finally leave for good.
The following pages
are found on the abuse 101 website:
the homepage

abused now

about control
about abuse of power
intimidation
manipulation

night eating
Welcome! Once again,
I had to personally include eating and sleeping disorders in my own personal growth recovery journey so a website emerged
concerning them all. I personally have dealt with night eating syndrome, an eating/sleeping disorder most of my life. I moderate
a support group for night eaters, visit the site by clicking the above link to join the group. You'll see the link on every
page to join.
Eating disorders,
mental health, abuse, domestic violence are all connected. This was a very difficult part of my recovery. Although I beat
eating at night, my sleep remains disordered and my eating habits are still not as healthy and consistent as they need to
be.
To learn more about
the site, just click on the link above! Here are the pages included within the night eating website:

the layer down under
I thought
of the name for the next few sites because throughout my personal growth recovery journey it seemed that I was unpeeling the
layers within to find more things to discover and figure out within my own self. So as you go through this site - you'll find
the second stage of what I found was needed for a personal growth recovery journey and as you visit the next few layer down
under sites, you'll see how you are peeling back the layers of time in your own journey as well!

different religions
Throughout my personal growth and recovery journey I've had to become
very truthful with myself concerning how my religious beliefs swayed my thinking throughout my difficult past. Defining our
own personal religious beliefs, I believe, is something very important instead of just adopting the beliefs of our parents.
Take a peek and see if anything touches you!

children 101
In keeping with my original theme in anxieties 101 - I wanted to take
the gender/age groups a step further with their own personal sites. Information concerning children is of the utmost importance
since children don't come with how to manuals when they are born; I feel it's important to look at our own upbringings, realize
the results of the parenting practices of our parents and then teach ourselves what different parenting skills are needed
to raise emotionally and physically healthy kids!
