Amanda Bynes, Robin Williams, and the Spectacle of Mental Illness

I know the picture is harsh, but it expresses how the media ridicules and mocks celebrities with mental “illnesses” (we call them obstacles) – until someone dies.

Pills can help, but it takes more than a pill to beat depression.

This article is based on, and quotes taken from, a Yoga Journal article, “Yoga for Depression” written by doctor and yoga instructor, Timothy McCall, MD.

Sadcore Sundays – “Soft Skeletons” by Anberlin

Lyrics:

“Soft Skeletons”

Dear little girl, (there’s) so much hurt For such a young age. Trapped inside a pretty little lie, Your body’s betrayed.Don’t fix your eyes on a fix you’ll rely on. Fixed her eyes on a fix she relies upon.

Stand unafraid,
All the good souls, stand unafraid.

Sometimes it’s those little changes that make life a little better….or make life not suck as much….(is the glass half empty or half full ?? *rolls eyes*)
