MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)
December 23, 2019

“I Know They Say I’m Mental: A Personal Perspective on Borderline Personality Disorder”: a touching memoir woven in pieces of poetry that express emotions of losing hope, finding it, and trusting in it. “I Know They Say I’m Mental: A Personal Perspective on Borderline Personality Disorder” is the creation of published author Linda Wendlandt, a surgical nurse. She practiced in the operating room as a registered nurse for some twenty-five years, during which she experienced a suicide attempt and seventeen years of professional counseling. She and her husband raised two wonderful and healthy children even through years of mental and emotional pains.

Wendlandt shares, “Have you ever tried to explain yourself and had others simply just not get it or, worse, tell you that you are just plain crazy? That was what my life was indeed like due to Borderline Personality Disorder. But I am here to say that the faulty thinking process associated with this mental illness can be overridden and that it is indeed possible to learn how to effectively communicate with others. Through psychoanalysis, medication, and self-discovery of the inner personal negative belief system, the resultant concurrent, depression can be managed and somewhat discarded for healthier ways of interacting with the outside world. It took me approximately seventeen years of therapy to be able to come to this conclusion, and I would just like the other BPDs to understand and believe that this can also happen for them.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Linda Wendlandt’s new book is a stirring revelation from a woman whose mental illness brought her struggles and pains. In here, the readers will find a captivating story that will touch their hearts deeply.

Consumers can purchase“I Know They Say I’m Mental: A Personal Perspective on Borderline Personality Disorder” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Christmas Scrooges take no pleasure in the holidays, but may take pleasure in ruining yours. Don’t let them!

When you can understand a negative’s person’s motives, desires, and fears, you’re less reactive, and less likely to get caught up in their mood.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
December 21, 2019

They’re out there. In shopping malls, on snowy roads, mingling among the guests at your Christmas parties. You might have a few in your family, or among your colleagues. It’s the Three Scrooges. Those cranky, grumpy, onerous people who are determined to ruin your holiday cheers with their holiday jeers. Thankfully, they have been exposed. Christmas researchers have carefully analyzed and studied their behaviors, and prepared a character description to help people identify and deal with these noxious curmudgeons.

After collecting and analyzing data from 6,452 individuals from the general population, three previously unknown sub-types of the “Scrooge” species have been discovered. Here’s a summary of their temperament:

NICKNAME / ALIAS: DOWNER MCKILLJOY

Typical phrases:

• “You think that’s bad? Here’s what happened to me…”
• “Life is hard” and “Life sucks”
• “Why me?”

What they’re like:

• Pessimistic; they expect the worst of people and situations
• Always talking about their aches, pains, and problems, often in a monotone voice
• Tend to drain the life out of a room and suck the fun out of everything
• May try to take vulnerable people down with them
• Evoke pity in some; others will distance themselves from their cloud of doom and gloom
• Don’t respond to cheering up, advice, or helpful solutions
• Have no problem expressing negative emotions
• So saturated with negativity that they don’t recognize opportunities for happiness and success
• Drawn to other pessimists (“Misery loves company”)
• Yet cannot empathize with others because they are too caught up in their own emotions

What motivates their behavior:

• Sadness, fear
• Low EQ and low self-esteem
• A need for approval fueled by the desire to be understood and/or pitied
• A fatalistic approach to life and victim mindset – they visualize the worst, but don’t necessarily prepare for it; they accept its inevitability
• An inability to learn from their experiences, leaving them feeling disempowered

How to deal with them:

• Offer sympathy; use the phrase “I understand” often
• Propose helpful suggestions, but only if asked
• Try to redirect the conversation to neutral topics
• Stay positive
• Remind yourself that their emotions are not your emotions

NICKNAME / ALIAS: FROSTY BITER

Typical phrases:

• “Christmas is so commercialized.”
• “Look out for yourself because no one else will.”
• “Toughen up!”

What they’re like:

• Cynical
• Stoic, detached, cold
• Superior, high-brow, patronizing
• Disdainful of weakness, naiveté
• Understand people, but don’t care about them
• Harsh; they’ll poke at your vulnerabilities and take jabs at you
• May suck up to important people, but in a subtle way
• Indifferent to lower-ranked, uninfluential people
• Don’t care if you dislike them, but may want to be respected by the right people
• Like to challenge you and draw you into intellectual debates
• If you insult them they will strike back verbally with painful precision
• Can channel their negative emotions into self-empowering actions (“You think I can’t? Watch me.”)

What motivates their behavior:

• Anger, spite, sense of unfairness, chip on their shoulder, maybe even hatred
• The belief that you have to be cruel in order to live in a cruel world
• A desire to prove themselves, to themselves
• A desire to prove that this world and others can’t bring them down

How to deal with them:

• Try not to take their jabs personally; recognize their purpose: To bait you
• Remain neutral; avoid controversial topics. Don’t try to change their point of view or “convert” them.
• If you choose to engage them in a debate, be prepared for a battle of wits; back your arguments with facts
• Be respectful, but don’t show vulnerability or weakness
• Remember, cynics see the world as unfair because they themselves have been treated unfairly. Be sympathetic, but don’t pity them – they won’t like it.

NICKNAME / ALIAS: ORNERY IN THE CORNERY

Typical phrases:

• “Life’s unfair.”
• “The world owes me.”
• “Why bother? It’s not going to make a difference.”

What they’re like:

• Cynical, pessimistic, cranky; only see or look for the worst in others
• Selfish, cheapskate – may have money, but don’t want to spend it, or will spend it strategically (e.g. to impress someone high-ranked)
• Rigid, inflexible; you won’t be able to change their mind
• Petty, confrontational
• Mock others’ opinions, or lack of knowledge; derisive of the weak
• Display superiority, but don’t feel superior deep down
• If disrespected, will shoot a volley of insults back at you
• Don’t trust people, but may not be trustworthy themselves
• Won’t give the benefit of the doubt or second chances
• Take joy in other people’s misfortunes
• Will respect power and success, but will secretly envy it and even hate someone for it

What motivates their behavior:

• Low EQ (the worst of the Three Scrooges)
• Low self-esteem (though they may hide it fairly well)
• A high need for approval, motivated by self-loathing
• Contempt, jealousy
• A sense of powerless; an inability to cope with life’s challenges

How to deal with them:

• Understand that their scorn is a protective shield for their vulnerable ego. They need you to respect them because they don’t respect and like themselves.
• Beware: They will bring you down in order to feel better about themselves. Recognize it for what it is: A defense mechanism. Don’t take it personally.
• Don’t engage them in battle. It will be exhaustingly fruitless. Just hear them out, and use it as an opportunity to better understand their personality, desires, and motivations.
• Find an excuse to walk away if their behavior bothers you.
• You’ll have to work hard to earn their respect, but why bother? Their opinion shouldn’t matter to you.

“While this study was meant as a tongue-in-cheek allegory, it did bring to mind a very important lesson for the holiday season: If you want to get along with ornery family members, colleagues, and strangers, put yourself in their stockings,” explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the parent company of Queendom. “Try to fathom what might be motivating their callous behavior. When you can understand a negative person’s motives, desires, and fears, you’re less reactive, and less likely to get caught up in their mood. You’ll be more sympathetic and compassionate. Remember, the holidays aren’t jolly for everyone; they can bring out the worst in some people. Stay within the glow of your holiday spirit and don’t let their moods become your mood.”

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs that take TRICARE

We’re thrilled to have been approved as an in-network provider of care by TRICARE. Our servicemen and women are a huge part of our community here in Southern California, and it’s an honor for us to serve them and their families in their time of need.

TEMECULA, Calif. (PRWEB)
December 20, 2019

Inland Detox, Inc. now offers a long-term, residential drug and alcohol treatment program to serve those in need of addiction treatment in the Temecula Valley and throughout Southern California. Combined with Inland Detox’s CARF-accredited inpatient detox program, the new residential program provides clients with more in-depth counseling, group outings, and community engagement to build a solid foundation upon which they can build healthy, sober lives.

“While we were approved as a long-term residential treatment facility when we first obtained our license, we wanted to focus on building Southern California’s best inpatient detox program before tackling the next level of care,” said Kyle Hartfield, CEO of Inland Detox. “Now, we have added a robust, TRICARE covered drug rehab program to go along with our CARF-accredited detox, allowing clients to stay in a stable, caring environment throughout the entire spectrum of inpatient, residential addiction treatment. This new program will provide our clients with the services and amenities one would expect from a larger program in an intimate, home-like environment.”

Not only does Inland Detox now offer both inpatient detox and residential treatment, it is now an approved in-network provider with TRICARE, the health care program for uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. TRICARE is available to those who are registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), which includes the following groups: active-duty service members, their spouses and dependents; National Guard and Reserve members, their spouses and dependents; and Medal of Honor recipients and their families.

“We’re thrilled to have been approved as an in-network provider of care by TRICARE. Our servicemen and women are a huge part of our community here in Southern California, and it’s an honor for us to serve them and their families in their time of need,” said Kenneth Corioso, founder and Chief Operating Officer of Inland Detox. “Many TRICARE recipients may not be aware that they can receive care at private, in-network facilities like ours, and we stand ready to serve them.”

Those who are covered by TRICARE may discover that finding alcohol and drug treatment programs that accept their insurance is difficult. “Given the abundance of advertisements directed at people seeking addiction treatment, it’s little wonder that it is difficult to filter through and find a provider that accepts TRICARE,” said Kyle Hartfield, CEO of Inland Detox, Inc. For those trying to find an in-network TRICARE drug rehab provider, there are a few ways to go about locating one. First, find your TRICARE insurance card, call the number on the back and ask for an in-network referral to a private facility. Alternatively, you can go online and search for terms like “alcohol rehabs that take TRICARE” to filter for programs that advertise their in-network status. Finally, you can reach out directly to treatment centers and ask them if they accept TRICARE. If they do not, they may be able to refer you to a program that does.

In addition to being in-network with TRICARE, Inland Detox also holds both a dual-diagnosis and an incidental medical services license. The incidental medical services license allows our healthcare practitioners to provide direct care related to substance use disorders within our facility. This means that clients can receive the care they need without traveling off-site for appointments with third-party providers of care. The dual-diagnosis treatment license allows Inland Detox to treat co-occurring mental health disorders alongside substance use disorders, allowing clients to address these issues within a single course of treatment.

About Inland Detox: Inland Detox is Southern California’s leading provider of inpatient drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment. Conveniently located in Temecula, CA, Inland Detox serves clients from all across Southern California and throughout the United States. Our mission is to provide our clients with a safe, comfortable detox and residential addiction treatment program, providing them with the tools they need to build a life free from drugs and alcohol.
