Catch 22 Peer Support

Peer support for veterans. Don't let life's obstacles stop you from living the life you want. Why does the government make this so hard?

https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=ZTYD3JXLSZZCS

I find it appalling that military and veteran suicide rates are at a level that is, to me, epidemic! I find it even more appalling that our government appears to be “going through the motions” to take action. I commend those veteran organizations and individuals that have taken this to heart. Do we need high- level conferences and studies to see th

e problem? The mission of Catch 22 Peer Support is to interact with our heroes, to have a dialogue with them, and to help them find the resources that will enable these men and women to live the life they want to live. I hope that all who read this will support the mission of catch 22 Peer Support. Let’s work together to save the lives of those who have given so much. I personally thank everyone who will support this worthy cause!

Stop the Stigma Around Mental Health.
One way to help normalize the conversation about mental health is to use your story. When we share our recovery story, we can help others in their journey. We can be part of a support system that allows others to have a safe, non-judgmental place to talk. We can share our therapies, boost self-esteem, and allow others to be included.
Let's work together to stop the stigma!

It's Okay to not be okay.
Many of us have days when we somehow find ourselves traveling to those dark places. This is part of the recovery journey. Allow yourself that time but have a plan to move forward. Focus on the positive memories you have experienced and use those as a light switch to help you navigate out of the dark.

Stuck in a rut?
Have you ever felt like you are stuck in a rut? That feeling of doing the same thing over and over again? This can cause us to lose interest in the things we used to enjoy.
Kendra Cherry, MSEd, writes, "When a Rut Is More Than a Rut
Sometimes these feelings may be more than being stuck in a rut. They could also be signs of something more serious, such as persistent depressive disorder (PDD). This mild but chronic mood disorder is characterized by low mood, decreased energy, loss of interest, and loss of pleasure. If you suspect that you may be experiencing PDD, talk to your healthcare provider."
(https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-get-out-of-a-rut-4172608)
One of Kendra's suggestions to get out of a rut is: "Strike up a conversation. Talking to new people is a great way to expand your social connections. Plus, you will learn interesting things about the people around you."
A peer support group is a great way to do this.
You can get out of the rut, but it is up to you to start. Ask for help.

Let's Talk
When you start to go down that dark road, reach out to someone in your support toolkit. Talking about your feelings or emotions will help. Do not ignore those feelings; do not try to hide them. They will not go away if you do.
In an article titled "What to Do When You Need Someone to Talk To"
( https://www.verywellmind.com/what-to-do-when-you-need... )
Sheri Gordon writes, "Finding someone to talk to not only provides connection, comfort, and understanding but also offers opportunities to talk about shared experiences as well as prevent feelings of loneliness and isolation."
You do not have to face it alone. A support group is one way to be heard. Gordon tells us "One way to build your support system is to join a support group. Whether it's an online group or a group that meets in person, both options provide you with a network of people who can relate to what you're experiencing.
There, you will be able to get the support and understanding that you need, as well as offer support to others in similar situations."
There is help.

Mental Health Recovery Road Trip
Your mental health is a work in progress.
Noam Spencer, Ph.D., once said:
" Mental health...is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going."
Like preparing for a road trip, you make sure your vehicle is ready, maintenance, fuel, luggage, etc. Make sure you have your mental health tools ready as well. Support system, treatment plans, or whatever you need to make the journey.
Plan how you will make the trip.

Sleep
Having a mental health issue can affect our sleep. We all know that getting enough sleep is important for our physical and mental well-being. Kendra Cherry writes: "It’s no secret that sleep plays an important role in good physical and mental health. Sleep deprivation can leave you feeling irritable and exhausted in the short term, but it can also have serious long-term health consequences as well. Lack of sleep is linked to a number of unfavorable health consequences including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and depression."
( https://www.verywellmind.com/how-sleep-affects-mental... )
There is a cycle between sleep problems and mental health. Lack of sleep can lead to mental health problems and mental health problems can lead to lack of sleep.
Talk to your provider to find ways to help you get to sleep. Consider lifestyle changes as well.

Give and Take
In life, we all face things, good things, and not-so-good things. At one time or another, we need help. We have the power, the ability to help each other. We also have the ability to ask for help when we need it. Asking for help is a sign of strength. There is no shame in seeking help.
Fred Rogers once said: "All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors--in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver."
When we wore the uniform, we worked as a team, helping each other; that was part of our mission. Rogers also talked about this as he said: "As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has- or ever will have- something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression."
If you need help, just ask; if you are in a position to help someone, just do it.
