Personal Narrative: My Experience With Clinical Depression
My 8th grade year I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I take anti depressants everyday to make myself okay. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Lately they haven't been working. I'm not happy in general. I'm not happy about who I am or what I even look like. I really am just confused about everything. My mom always told me that if you can't love yourself you can't love anyone else. Relationships on complicate things more for me and I'm not happy and I don't want to put myself in a suffering situation, you know? So I think it's best for me to end things now before things get worse for me. I'm sorry.

    I had many experience while performing my duty. One of them was very significant to me that a psychiatric patient assaulted me and punched my head and face. I lost one tooth and had concussion. I did not hit back the patient who assaulted me, and prevented further injury would happen to me and the patient. This was a good experience I had while serving the psychiatric patients that I kept calm and blocked the assault with preventive…

    With my first week of clinical affiliation from the HCR ManorCare-Pittsburgh location under my belt I can give a sigh of relief that I have gained an understanding into the early expectations that my Clinical Instructor (CI) and staff have for me. From day one to current I have been asked to handle and comprehend tasks that I discovered during my academic and laboratory learning at CCAC such as goniometry, transfers, parallel bar training (to name a few). So for me being able to translate what I have learned and apply this to my inpatient setting has been invaluable. Yes, the way they document (electronically via IPad) and use of electronic stimulation placements are slightly different then what I’m accustomed my goal will be to learn these…

Although, as a counselor meeting a client for the first time may be awkward in the beginning (Laureate Education, 2010d).…

    In my lifetime,I was struggling with depression and I didn’t have very many people to talk to about it,it all started in junior high up until now.I felt like nobody liked me or just simply didn’t like me in general but that’s not the only reason I also think negative all the time.Over time I just have to learn that life is hard and I may fall down but I just have to pick myself back up.My life hasn’t always been easy I don’t really talk to many people like I use to I don’t even go out of the house anymore other than school I constantly isolate myself in my room and never come out I just trap myself in there I don’t even talk to my parents really because of this.I eventually started overcoming it I mean I still don’t talk to many people but…

    Depression is a very serious thing ,I should know especially because I’ve gone through and still deal with depression in my life. The first time depression hit he the hardest that left me at a point of a life changing decision not just for myself but for the people around me was during near the end of my seventh grade year. Events took place before that event I was told I was probably going to have to move schools the next year leaving my friends behind and having to be alone with no one. That year ended and I was left thinking I was going to be alone and I lost a few people who meant alot to me. During the summer things got worse. I was alone only able to think about what had happened and not having anyone to talk to ,I truly felt alone.…

    “You’ll never be able to run long distances again” A quote from my doctor when I was first diagnosed with both a tarsal and calcaneal coalition in my left foot. The first thought that came to my head was start digging my grave now. Monday through Saturday for me are spent at the gym or on the tennis court. If I am not training, I am teaching the sport I continue to admire since fifth grade. Those nine words rang through my ears like fingernails on a chalk board. He proceeded to place me in a cast then a few weeks later into an air cast. I viewed this as a small bump in the road and continued to strengthen my upper body and core despite my highly fashionable boot. Two months later my highly optimistic self headed to my “final” doctor appointment to be told I need to continue to wear the air cast. That day I recall telling myself “deep breaths Grace”…

    I awaken this morning in a cold sweat, and heart pounding. Lately, I have gone through so many nightmares, but that's not surprising. Although my combat campaign ended the year 1991, I still get combat nightmares and flashbacks often, up four to five times a week, especially when I am stressed. At some point, early this morning, I found myself unable to physically move, as if I was paralyzed. In my dream, I believed someone or something, was trying to drag me out of my bed. Regardless, today, I must stay active and not drowned in my sorrows. I often try to recognize and release negative thoughts about my trauma issues and embrace new thoughts in my mind. However, this process is so hard to achieve consistency and maintained. Especially, since…

    This was the response I got after telling a patient, on a medical mission trip, that I understood it was difficult for her to buy fresh toothbrushes regularly. I learned the hard way never to tell someone that you understand their situation because everyone’s situation is unique to them. Based on my experiences, being humble does not mean sympathizing with other people’s struggles, but rather stands for being fully present while interacting with people with no motivation besides compassion.…

    Week six was another amazing week that brought new experiences to my plate. On Wednesday evening, my clinical instructor and I ran Sr. Barn Buddies. This is a group of six teenagers that have autism. These individuals are great, but need help with appropriate social interactions and some personal care. Four boys and two girls attend the one and a half hour session every Wednesday evening. I was not really sure how to feel about doing this session because some of them can have behaviors and they are twice my size. These kids were awesome! They each seem to be somewhere different on the spectrum and all have something to offer to one another. These kids need help with socializing with each other, when they are at school or in the community. We worked on a project together, making sail boats that we could have a discussion about. If one of them needed help with part of it, they had to ask nicely. They could ask Duane or myself for help or ask one another for help. It was pretty neat to see them ask questions, offer advice and for myself to witness the positive interaction throughout the evening.…
