Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I would love to do a Psychology Today post on how to recover when you dont have family support, but not sure who would be a good "expert" on this. Can anyone speak to this? 011
Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 12/09/2026New interview up, this time with my DAD. My dad is awesome and has so much wisdom about parenting a child with a psychotic disorder. And he still has his sense of humor (particularly absurdity humor, which has worked well for our family).

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I am temporarily no longer jaded, for I got yet another very positive rejection letter saying my manuscript has serious potential but "the market is so bad right now for nonfiction," and alas, at least I have the validation even though the reality sucks.

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I don't think being a Marxist Communist is necessary to include people with disabilities. Capitalism exists so we can exercise our creative problem solving skills. It can be fun and exciting. We just need the right support for people who are non-white male. 020
Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I wish there were more support for people who have mental disabilities and come from disadvantaged backgrounds to learn about our capitalist and work environment. If we expand our definitions of what counts as work we can use much more of the population. We have an economy that values creativity. 030

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026I have had persistent vertigo for six days now. It is quite the feeling.

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Until the memory recall, I was unable to organize my intellectual thoughts, and now it seems I can just flush them out so easily. I have been doing things very specific with my recovery to produce this outcome. I may write about it. 000
Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 16/02/2026My personality and online presentation have gone under some major evolution in the past year. It is because of therapy and trauma recovery that I am able to "recover" parts of myself. A recent memory recall in Hawaii has allowed me to "be more myself." I find this process amazing and understated. 000

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Have you ever heard of someone having an adverse effect to nature? 🤔 When I look at these pictures of sunsets from Hawaii all the red colors just make my head burn and numb and I remember feeling like I was in Hell bc the sky was on fire. 000
Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Sweden announced that they will accept travel as a prescriptive remedy for mental health. I have advocated for this for years. Traveling to scenic places resets your biochemistry, and traveling to slums and cities resets your attitude and outlook. 000

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I experienced this numbness, followed by a high and a two day episode of psychosis with my paranoia heightened.

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I spent the past 2 weeks in Hawaii. Much of my life is about experimenting with new ways to better my mental health since I have the time and money.

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 30/12/2025I find it funny that astrologers and psychics always advise their customers not to get too many readings done because the results cant be reproduced due to passing moments of intuitive power, when the entire premise of scientific validity is the complete opposite 000

Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Malala writes how weed brought back memories of getting shot. I understand.

I had flashbacks of tear gassed protests, being drunk, drugged, and alone in the city. 000
Sarah An Myers @sarahanmy.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I hate Halloween.
