100 acre woods

 


During a recent conversation with my cousin, we discussed the following topic. The specifics were a complete mystery to her. I then mentioned this to my wife, and like me, she did not know of the content I was about to disclose. Were you curious?

Winnie-the-Pooh and his group of friends are lovable creatures who all have distinct personalities and unique traits. Here is where the knowledge was lacking.

Each character, including Christopher Robbin, is based on a mental disorder. I will explain each character shortly but let me say I am about 70% piglet and 30% Eeyore myself.

·         Pooh–OCD and eating disorder.

·         Piglet–Generalized Anxiety Disorder

·         Rabbit–Narcissism, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

·         Eeyore–Dysthymic Disorder (depression)

·         Owl–Narcissism

·         Tigger–ADHD

·         Kanga–Social Anxiety Disorder

·         Roo–Autism

There is also the main character of Christopher Robbin who made all these characters up and talks to these animals. He is schizophrenic.

Each of these characters is loved by many, especially children. Little did we know each one digs deeper into mental disorders that are so prevalent in our society today.

Until next time,

Tim

Leave

  I’m not okay. This week has been stressful. So much, in fact, I had to take a medical leave from Humana. It began today and will last through most of March. Though I am relieved somewhat, I still am fighting some of those internal demons that constantly haunt me. During my last visit with the doctor Erin, she knew immediately, without a word, that something was wrong. She noticed, and we discussed these stressors on several visits prior to my last one. It is not uncommon for me to face challenges and feel emotionally unsettled. I haven’t been okay for a while. Every morning, I am greeted with a racing heart and a wave of panic and anxiety as soon as I wake up. I feel as though my heart is a runaway train, racing uncontrollably and leaving me uncertain of its eventual destination. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, overwhelm, burnout, depression, ADHD, or simply the fast-paced world we live in today, my mind reached its breaking point. Overcoming and shaking off this feeling is l...

Forever

  So, I am finally coming to terms that I am not a forever type of person in most people’s lives. I mean, I’m okay to be a conversation when it’s needed, or I’m a person they call on when they need something. I am a placeholder or I’m a stand in. I am barely an option at the moment once they get whatever it is they need. Then they leave, and I am stuck holding onto feelings or emotions that drain me or cause me heartache. Accepting that realization that I am not a forever type person in people’s lives is reality. I have a tiny group of people that check on me regularly and for that; I am grateful. Most others fall into the category above. Until next time, Tim
