Guest LiterateParakeet Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Since we've been talking a lot lately about mental health. Anxiety and Anxiety Disorders - March 2017https://www.lds.org/ensign/2017/03/anxiety-and-anxiety-disorders?lang=eng Quote From the article: If you feel you may have an anxiety disorder, find a good counselor with the help of your bishop. Learn how to work with traits that drive your anxiety. Medication may be necessary to get high anxiety under control if it goes unchecked for too long, though it should supplement and not replace counseling, self-talk, and relaxation techniques.

Mike Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 There are so many ways to suffer in this life. And every time I feel badly for myself about the opposition I'm up against I am reminded of someone else whose suffering is worse than mine.

Sometimes the suffering in this world is almost unbearable to me, but at those times I just have to keep coming back to the Atonement. Christ suffered all that pain, and He knows how to heal it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm looking forward to reading this one. I'm still trying to finish the February issue. Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Enjoyed reading this article. My favorite paragraph: "The Lord commanded us to be perfect, but He also said that if we draw close to Him, He will show us our weakness. There appears to be a conflict between these two concepts unless you understand that perfection (completeness, wholeness) is an eternal condition that comes through the Savior's Atonement 'on conditions of repentance.' We don't make ourselves perfect; Jesus Christ does. We just do our best and keep repenting when we fall short, relying on His grace to make weak things strong."

paracaidista508 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Too bad the lds social services mental health counselors / psychologifts can't help out vets with mtbi and ptsd. At least here I az they offer nothing. I work with a couple lds vets and one had been referred to social services by his bishop. They told him they do that deal with military trauma..they don't get exposure to it. They recommended the VA. They need to go to a va vet clinic sometime answer listen to what goes on in there. I'm thinking they would go out of their way to find an alternative for lds vets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand correctly, the church's social services tend to be general practitioners, whereas PTSD requires specialists. Since the VA isn't capable of taking care of our vets as they deserve, they should provided a voucher system that will give them proper care from private specialists.
