Natasha Tracy's Newsletter

August 2023 Edition

Welcome to my newsletter. It's where I have a chance to talk to you, my readers, and offer information that can help those with mental illness and their loved ones. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to my new readers! It's great to have you.

I apologize as this edition is a little light. You've caught me just after a vitrectomy. That eye surgery was for a tear in the center of my retina. For obvious reasons, writing has been difficult. I'm healing now, though. Things should be back to normal in September.

In this edition, you'll find:

A story about a woman who was harmed by Truehope and their supplement EMPowerplus
Articles you may have missed, including one about the cognitive and memory problems people with bipolar are facing
An Instagram image and quote about the the temporary nature of now
An August quote about stillness

Have You Been Harmed by Truehope/EMPowerplus? One Woman's Story

This week, a there is a new story on the Bipolar Burble blog about a woman, Anna, who was harmed by Truehope's advice around their EMPowerplus supplement. You can read her story here. I've written about this company in the past; in fact, they even threatened to sue me for it.

If you have been harmed by Truehope, Anna would like to hear from you. You can contact her here.

What You May Have Missed

Here are some new articles you might have missed from the Bipolar Burble and Breaking Bipolar blogs:

Memory and Cognitive Problems in Bipolar + Coping Skills — This is something we don't talk about nearly enough. There are more effects to a person's brain than merely what's in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A bipolar brain has problems with memory and thinking in many ways..
Don't Try to Be the Psychiatrist — I'm all for patient advocacy, but there's a difference between that and acting like you're the psychiatrist. The latter won't benefit your treatment.
Dating with an Invisible Illness — Invisible illnesses like bipolar disorder come with many challenges. One of them is figuring out how to date authentically when you have one.

"We've all been through some pretty awful times. That's humanity for you. But if you're going through one right now, remember that no matter how permanent it feels, it isn't. It's temporary.

One of the lies depression wants us to believe is that we've always been depressed and we always will be. This isn't true. What's true is that while it can FEEL that way, that's all it is — a feeling. Feelings aren't the truth. They feel like they are. But they aren't.

The truth is that we will get better. We will recover. A perfect today is not a prerequisite for a pretty great tomorrow. Remember that."

I create (and comment on) a lot of interesting work on Instagram, in addition to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. I'm posting interesting quotes, images, and quirky things from my life. I hope you'll join me there.

August's Final Words

That's it for now, folks; I'll catch up with you next month. Until then, I'd like to leave you with a quote that speaks to the power of stillness. I think the end of the summer can teach us about that:

“Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen -- that stillness becomes a radiance,.”

— Morgan Freeman
