Date and write even the tiniest thing - a good cup of coffe, a beautiful sunset, good chat with a friend.

The smallest moments truly make our lives better.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2024.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Hope you folks are well.

I’m making the choice to take a bit more time away from social media…Life happened and my mental health and well-being are paramount., so I’m doing for myself what I educate you to do - take care of your mental health.

I ought to be back mid-November.

Happy Friday all.

Change - humans generally abhor it.
We like things predictable.

However, life changes every day in some form or another.

When we were babies, we didn’t just get up and
walk, we had to take many tiny steps so we could strengthen our feet, legs and learn how to balance.

So, when making a big change, the best way to ensure it works, is by taking tiny steps every day.

Life does not need to be about the newest thing, or fanciest gadget, or most expensive stuff.

Clothes keep us warm
A phone keeps us connected
A vintage chair keeps us off the floor
A simple home keeps us safe.

I’ve gone through times when all my “stuff” was in storage, or when it was in my home, or when I bought new, and when I’ve had to sell it.

I look at the stuff I’ve owned and had attachment
to it, “But, I worked so hard to get it, and now I have to let it go!!!” I completely understand this feeling; it’s painful and sad.

I am more grateful for the few friends I have, how have helped me through life’s difficulties and journey, as they provide me with what I need - love, compassion, kindness and support.

18/09/2023

Kindness is a wonderful way to start your day.

A “Please, thank you” and “You’re welcome “ go a very long way to bringing kindness into the world.

Have a good Monday folks!

And, thank you for being here. 😊

I’m in a silly 😜 Saturday mood.

My dark humour has kept me alive many times when I wasn’t feeling well.

So - if you’re not feeling well, join me in being silly today, as we can be silly 😜 together.

15/09/2023

It’s been a tough week for a lot of people, so I think I’ll take Cookie Monsters’ advice..

Read the picture in his voice….. lol 😂!

How are you?

It’s a question that’s difficult and uncomfortable to answer when you’re depressed.

Many of use don’t want to be a “burden”, which is interesting because if we unburdened ourselves, we may feel better sooner.

Gently keep asking us how we are, because it’s hard for us to tell you, but we appreciate you asking and giving us the space to say truly how we feel.

Depression is weird. 🤪
It happens so slowly, that sometimes we don’t notice it; however, it impacts so many areas of our lives.

Ask your family and friends to tell you what they see, if you’re unable to.

12/09/2023

Also - putting up your hand 🖐 and realizing you can’t “do” life by yourself and you need help is a big one.

My experience has been that we don’t necessarily get the help from people we thought would help us, but from those who we least expect it from; and sometimes, that is the best gift.

I appreciate the people in my life who are helping me with my life journey. 🙏❤️

11/09/2023

Sometimes you just can’t get past sad, so acknowledge it and sit with it until it passes.

10/09/2023

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 2023

I know how it feels.
It’s the worst pain imaginable.
You may be in pain, be exhausted and feel or think you’re completely alone.

If you are struggling, reach out to someone and keep reaching out.
If you see someone struggling, reach out to them.

A moment of caring can save a life.

Confession Time….

I’m a Trekkie fan 🖖

May you live long and prosper 🖖
Peace and long life 🖖

57 years ago today, they began their 5 year mission 🛸......
They lived long and prospered 🖖
Some have gone, and some remain.

I will be forever grateful for the lessons in humanity that Gene Roddenberry brought to the screen - Hope, compassion, unity - regardless of what we look like, and where we come from, and what life circumstances we are experiencing.

When the storm ⛈ of depression begins to swirl in my life, Star Trek is a life saving “place” for me to retreat to. I have been here many times in my life - I am here…..again. 😔
Thankful 🙏 I have a few people who are kind and compassionate who are helping me through this difficult time.

The lesson of today is this - just because people post funny stories or beautiful pictures, may NOT reflect their life experience at that time.

Today - Feeling like it’s both socks 🧦 in both shoes 👟 🤪

ACEs - Adverse Childhood Experiences

Much of what happens to us as children, shapes who we become as adults.

This is difficult to process on our own, and why a good therapist is paramount to helping us sort through what happened then and how it manifests in our adult lives.

Find a quiet time and place to do the test.
It can bring about very powerful revelations.

Here’s a link to an ACEs test.

My score is 7. That was painful to realize.

Nature - one of the best medications for your mental health. Studies have shown that spending time in nature reduces your blood pressure, anxiety and depression. Try for 10 minutes a day, 1 hour a week if you can. Unable to get to nature? YouTube has amazing nature videos. For the best relaxing results, watch the ones with nature sounds - birds, water, etc. not music. Notice how much better your mind & body feel. #nature #outdoors #relaxing #natureandmentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

Hygge (HEW-guh) A Danish word, comes from a Norwegian word meaning “well being” and it's a centuries old Scandinavian / Danish concept that is used to describe a moment or feeling that is cozy, and has the meaning of "comfort" and "coziness." Moments in which hygge is evident include people warmly snuggling by a roaring fire on a cold winter's night while sipping glogg or hot cocoa; or an intimate gathering of friends at someone's house for a candle-lit dinner, conversation, and light entertainment. The fire and candles are traditional elements in establishing hygge. This tradition is likely connected to the endlessly dark Nordic winters, during which people in the past found comfort and relaxation in watching their flickering dance. Fire - keeps us warm, cooks our food, and lights our way. Today is a good day to grab a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate, curl up on the couch and embrace hygge. #hygge #relaxforyourmentalhealth #mentalhealtheducation🧠

Welcome

Hi! I'm Taylore Einarsson and the founder of Mental Health Educator. A little about me...... Growing up with a parent who had a mental illness, I bore witness to their decline from strength of mind and body, to anxiety, then mania and finally into a deep depression. It was utterly devastating when I had to admit them into a mental health facility. This was my first foray into the mental health system, where I witnessed first hand what can happen when a person has ECT (electro convulsive therapy), as well as psychiatric medications and the psychiatric system itself. I have endured numerous challenges in my life. As a survivor of childhood trauma due to sexual abuse, my genetic pre-disposition to mental illness, my first of 6 su***de attempts was at the age of 13 - my last was in 2004. In 2004, I was properly diagnosed with Manic Depression/Rapid Cycling 2 (I prefer the term Manic Depression instead of Bi Polar). I have also had Stage 2 breast cancer and have Reactive Rheumatoid Arthritis. Lastly, I have known 6 men who have died by su***de - co workers, relatives, friends and my own parent.

With all of this lived experience, I made the choice to use my knowledge and experience to create Mental Health Educator. Combining my background, degree in Mental Health and Addictions/Su***de Prevention, and training, I educate people on how to learn to develop their abilities, create resilience and live a good life, while having a mental illness. As a Peer Navigator with a national non-profit, I taught my clients to learn how to navigate systems such as: Income, Housing, Health Care, Legal and Social Connections and how to advocate for themselves. Being a person with lived experience in a peer position, I was able to help empower people in their recovery of mental illness and/or addiction. My Motto - Mental Health, like physical health, must be built into todays' world by empowering people to learn how to become resilient, embrace their mental health and wellness through education, inspiration and motivation.
