Summer + Mania + Alcohol = A Dangerous Mix

5 Labor Day Weekend Tips To Avoid the Psychiatric Ward:

1. PLAN AHEAD – If you’re going to visit family, then make sure you check your vehicle for travel. Check windshield wipers, fluids, radiator and cooling system.  Also, map out your route.  Know your way both in the daylight and at night.  (Places look different at night so, know your exits!)
2. Take YOUR meds!  Make sure you have your meds you will need for the weekend. And if you’re visiting family,  you’ll need your meds to deal with them.
3. Don’t OVER DO IT! Labor day is not about working your butt off!!  It’s about resting and enjoying friends and good association.  Remember, mixing medications and alcohol is never a good thing!!  It weakens the effects of the meds and can trigger an episode.  Last thing you want is to be streaking the party ol’ natural screaming you’re Jesus or Elvis… not a good way to get invited back.
4. Take A TIME OUT, if the stress of the day’s activities are getting to you, then take a rest.  Find a quiet room or place and do what James S. Gordon, MD, a world-renowned expert in using mind-body medicine says. “Practice:  Slow, deep breathing — in through the nose, out through the mouth, with the belly soft and relaxed and the eyes closed.“  Just don’t chant out loud.  This could make others uncomfortable, especially if your mantra is “PLEASE DON’T let ME kill these people, Please don’t let me kill these people!”… Believe me, this is not a good thing to say out loud… You can trust me on this one.
5. Finally, enjoy a MENTAL HEALTH DAY OFF… Avoid talking about past problems, disorders, quirks or what ever.   Forget about the past, negativity or short comings you might have with a family member or friend and… just enjoy the day!!

With these 5 simple tips, you will give yourself a better chance of having a good day to “remember” and not a day to regret!!

Have a SAFE Week-End,

Chato Stewart

Title:

Social-Networking Can be a Relationship Ender Caption:

Dear FaceBook,
I feel we have grown apart over the
last few months. You’re too clinging! Posting
on my wall, forcing me to comment so you know
where I am every second is just too much!
Always wanting me to be friends with everyone,
even people I want to avoid and don’t even like!
The constant demand of my time and care
has sucked the life out of me. I can’t take it!!!
I think we should start see other networks.
I’m going to FriendFinder where they love me
for being me.
Sincerely,
Bill

Sunday Psychology Cartoons Uni Polar Bear

Caption: I’m Always Depressed, I wish I could be more like my brother, he’s a Bi-polar bear

Saturday I spent the afternoon with my kids at a pool party.  I really did not want to go, but I knew my 4 kids would have a great time so I went.  The family is very nice and generous and they have a 9-year-old girl that gets along with my 3 girls.

I’m not as social as I once was. I’m working on this by forcing myself to get out.

See What Google See: My Cartoons On Google

Today I did a little experiment on how my new blog is getting indexed. I wanted to see how Google views me and my cartoons.  It’s said “you are WHO Google says you are!”

From time to time to gauge how Google looks at me, I like to search myself… I type in “chato stewart,” and look what images are being indexed. I did a customized “site” search to see what images are indexed by Google and I was happy to see 125 cartoons and photos. What is the rank value of each image? I’m not sure, but if you do an image search for “chato” you will get a kick and good laugh when you see WHO is in the top spots….

Now before you start writing any hate mail about me using the words “mental games’  make sure you understand how I’m using the word. Since “MENTAL” has so many definitions…  The one I’m referring to is found in the  World English Dictionary.

Defining mental (ˈmɛnt ə l)— adj 1. of or involving the mind or an intellectual process.

“Tipsy Tuesday Ink Blot Test Mental Games” are my new series of blog post that are meant to get our big brains dusted off and spinning around the ol’ mind game.

Ink Blot Test 001

Mental Games: Ink Blot Test 001

Rorschach Test:  The Rorschach test (German pronunciation: [ˈʁoːɐʃax]; also known as the Rorschach inkblot test or simply the Inkblot test) is a psychological test in which subjects’ perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex scientifically derived algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to examine a person’s personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been employed to detect an underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly.^[3] The test takes its name from that of its creator, Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach.
