Black Lives Mental Health Matters

By Vic

These are just little recordings I do more for therapy than anything else, however, I do hope that some people can relate. My stories, thoughts, and dreams are here. You are never alone. I would prefer to use music, but somebody I ain't gonna call no names but they are Universal when it comes to names. Just to be truthful I just ramble. Oh sometimes it gets real, wait till I start talking about my mom and I, talk about issues. You wouldn't believe the support system that I've built for myself. My poor therapists (yes plural). I am like Bill Murray in that movie "What About Bob?"

TaDay is Here!

TaDay is Here!

Taday we got a few discussions. All the way from gratitude to suicide to treatment. I hope you all take notice to the hope I am trying to inspire. For so long I lived a life devoid of hope or dreams. I was a walking corpse without understanding, ignorant. Taday is completely different. I hope and pray that all good things in the world happen to you and everyone else. For all comments feedback email BLMHEALTHMATTERS@GMAIL.COM. Stay fly y'all. Blessings.

Crying Shame

Crying Shame

You are Amazing!! All messages comments, feedback, or ideas can go to BLMHEALTHMATTERS@GMAIL.COM. This week we talk about some recent issues like Will Smiths actions during the Oscars, you know when he slapped Chris Rock. Other than that this week is shame and I discuss two issues in my life that bring the most shame. Looking back I should have told you all how I deal with that shame but I can tell you like most people I just don't bring it up until it is the focus of a topic and by then it is worse than it would have been had I brought it up before. Be safe, I hope all the good things in the world happen to you and everyone else. Blessings.

Go Dawgs

Go Dawgs

All questions and comments should go to blmhealthmatters@gmail.com This weeks #ASHTAG is #G&G Growth & Gratitude. This week we bring up subjects concerning how I would like to talk about my separation from my family rather than discussing the four years I spent in prison. That experience is one that still chills me to my bones. The things I witnessed and sometimes had to be a part of. I ask myself everyday, why? or how is that prisons exist. Especially Arizona, what happens to people should never be done to humans. I kind of went off on a tangent. Anyways, thank you for your continued support, I know it is a bit rough. I promise you though you get the truth. And to clarify why my mom abandoned her son is she decided that her new husband was more important than her child. All my life even today she pretends I don't exist. Enjoy! Blessings

#SPEAKLYFE

As usual all comments or questions can go to blmhealthmatters@gmail.com. This week is about growth and keeping the grind going. Not failing but conforming. You ever meet someone and realize that there is something about them, not arrogance but something like confidence. I don't know. It is that all of my life I have felt different from others maybe it's a false sense of entitlement, or delusional. Anyway, please remember to vote on the #TAG challenge you all get to join me in creating a movement to give people a little hope or try to anyways. Enjoy! Blessings.
