Depression is a mood disorder which impacts mind, body, and spirit. Symptoms of all three areas are prevalent in depression and can cause someone to feel as though they are out of control in their lives. Physical pain is a common accompaniment to depression. Aches, pains, muscle fatigue, and exhaustion are all common. The depressed body feels low in energy and mirrors pain being experienced in mind and spirit. Hopelessness, pessimism, fear, melancholy, detachment and emptiness can be felt as much physically as they are both mentally, as well as spiritually. Psychosomatization is not uncommon with mood and personality disorders, especially depression. Somatizing congested emotions which have not been confronted and processed can lead to physical pain, which only increases the difficulty of the experience of living with depression. Psychiatry Advisor cites new research which has found that physical pain is more common for those who are living with depression. This combination of symptoms has a greater affect than physical and emotional pain. “...those with both depression and pain are more likely to have cognitive impairment,” the article explains. The findings of the new research “...provide evidence to screen for pain in those with depression and cognitive impairment,” and emphasizes that “...effectively treating pain in these populations may increase cognitive and functional outcomes.” Screening for physical pain in a diagnosis which is known for providing someone with emotional pain, might be the answer to effective recovery. Cognitive impairments can last beyond treatment if they are not properly assessed and confronted. Cognitive functions are the functions within the brain which helps humans make decisions, make judgments, and perform almost every executive action they have. Importantly, cognition is what helps humans make meaning in their lives by assimilating information and transforming it into knowledge. Treatment for mood disorders often falls short when cognitive impairments get in the way. With an impaired ability to make sense of incoming information, all of the efforts of treatment become ineffective. Too often, this is blamed on the individual with accusations of being unwilling or not committed to recovery. Exacerbating an already exhausting amount of shame and stigma, too many clients give up on themselves and their recovery because they aren’t “getting it.” Screening for physical pain in depression could be an answer to interrupting and remedying cognitive impairments, leading to a successful and effective recovery. Treating mind, body, and spirit, stems beyond physical and emotional pain but has a significant effect on the entire brain chemistry. Avalon Malibu believes that holistic healing is the answer to trusted results in recovery. Our programs for mental health are some of California’s only certified primary treatment programs.

Being in a relationship of any kind with someone who lives with borderline personality disorder is a special kind of challenge. Loving someone who has an especially difficult time loving themselves is an ongoing commitment to acceptance, understanding, and healthy boundaries. Borderline personality disorder is defined by swinging emotions, erratic emotional reactions, negative coping habits, and an insatiable insecurity. Feeling completely out of control of their emotional reactions, which can be helped through therapy like DBT, they develop a sense of self-loathing which complicates their emotions. Desperately wanting to be normal, those with borderline personality disorder lament their lashing out, mania and depression, as well as the way their mood can affect those they love. Fears Of Abandonment Have Nothing To Do With You Part of the inspiration for the borderline insecurity is a deep and inconsolable fear of abandonment. As the partner, parent, or friend of someone with borderline you might feel an intense pressure to constantly soothe their fears and validate the fact you aren’t going anywhere. This is not your responsibility. Understand that most people with borderline experienced some event of abandonment in their lives which manifested into this disorder. You can remind them in healthy ways how much you love and care for them, without being controlled by what they feel they cannot control. Suicidal Ideations And Attempts Are Part Of Borderline Sadly, one of the ways someone with borderline personality disorder seeks validation for their insecurities and fears of abandonment is through extreme and manipulative behaviors. Discussing suicidal ideations, threatening suicide, or even making an attempt at suicide are all demonstrations of someone in a very unsettled state. With borderline, it is hard to know when they are serious. Most importantly, you have to set boundaries with what you are capable of and not. Running to their aide in panic with every threat will leave you exhausted. Your only role is to help them learn what behaviors are not acceptable. Keep the suicide prevention hotline and the number for your local suicide watch department nearby. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline Number is 800-273-TALK. They’re Going To Feel Lonely, Empty, And Isolated, No Matter What You Do Recovery with borderline personality disorder includes learning how to create their own happiness and take care of themselves in fulfilling ways. A common trap for those in a relationship with someone living with borderline is feeling as though you are responsible for their happiness. Due to the nature of the disorder, feeling lonely, isolated, and empty inside is inevitable depending on their mood. You can lovingly remind them that they are not. In this state, however, it will be hard to convince them. Keep in mind, it isn’t your job to do so. Treating borderline personality disorder is best in a facility dedicated to primary mental health treatment. Avalon Malibu is one of California’s few certified mental health treatment facilities. Our beautiful estate on the iconic Malibu coast serves as the perfect place for healing. For a confidential assessment, call us today at 1 888-958-7511.

30% of the American adult population lives with some kind of an anxiety disorder. Only a small percentage of those struggling will ever seek treatment. Problematically, many of them are not aware that they have an anxiety disorder which needs to be treated. Instead, they live with labels of being fearful, being sensitive, being afraid, or worrying too much. Coping with anxiety can be done in healthy ways or unhealthy ways. Many people who live with anxiety find themselves developing mechanisms for coping which work best for them, even if they aren’t healthy ones. When someone creates a coping mechanism, no matter how unhealthy, they stick to that routine because it has a benefit of some sort which works for them. Abusing mind altering substances like drugs and alcohol is one of these coping mechanisms. Co-occurring anxiety and addiction is common. Though the drugs and alcohol pose equally as significant a problem as the anxiety, the payoff of the effects of the substances is enough. Drugs and alcohol can either depress the system to reduce the tense feelings of worry or they can excite the system to create a kind of tension that feels more in control. Unfortunately with substance abuse, especially when co-occurring with anxiety, control does not last long. As chemical dependency full develops, the coping mechanism of substance abuse becomes a more serious manner of survival. Avoiding the combination of anxiety and substance abuse is possible. Here are 5 ways you can reduce your risk or watch over a loved one living with anxiety 10 Minutes Of Exercise Exercise is one of the ways that the Anxiety And Depression Association Of America recommends coping with anxiety. As little as ten minutes of exercise can clear up anxiety and produce hormones which focus the brain in a different direction. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Incorporating mindfulness into the home at an early age can help children learn how to manage their stress as well as their emotions. Mindfulness meditation practices reduce the heart rate and concentrate the mind on the present moment. Balanced Diet And Nutrition The brain needs essential fatty amino acids to function. Low sugar and low processed food diets help keep mood swings and emotional excitement to a minimum. Creating healthy meals as a process can be good for managing anxiety around food. Avalon Malibu is one of southern California’s leading dual diagnosis treatment centers providing primary care for both mental health conditions and substance use disorders.

Ruminating thoughts, feelings of impending doom, and pessimistic negativity are all hallmarks of depression. Learning how to live with and change negative thinking in depression is a primary ingredient in a recipe of successful recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most relied upon therapies for treating mental health conditions. Highlighting the relationship between thought and behavior, CBT helps clients identify their beliefs which fuel their behavior. Taking an objective look at them, ongoing CBT assists in being able to decide if these are thoughts a client wants to continue having and behaviors they want to continue acting on. Continuing therapy utilizing CBT tools allows clients to make proactive changes in their thinking and consequent behaviors. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Dialectical behavioral therapy was designed to treat more complex personality and mood disorders, like borderline personality disorder. While cognitive behavioral therapy is helpful and applicable to many different mental health conditions, it seemed to fall short for more intense emotions. Chronic major depression can include very low emotional states which include heightened sensitivity and a very intense form of pessimism. DBT is a system for coping with emotional moments when they arise, working to identify feeling-states rather than belief-states before taking action. Metacognitive Therapy According to Health.com, metacognitive therapy, or, MBCT, is similar to cognitive behavioral therapy, without the analysis. Rather than dissect certain thought patterns and beliefs, MCT leads clients to practical applications for “reducing the negative thought processes and take control over them.” For one study, 20 patients with depression went through 10 weeks of MCT therapy sessions, once each week. 80% of the patients scaled a full recovery from depression symptoms. Mindfulness Mindfulness based stress reduction is a system of tools which utilize mindfulness practices in order to alleviate emotional stress. Awareness, noticing, and paying attention are the primary functions of mindfulness which encourage autonomy in the emotional process. Without having to pause and engage in practices, mindfulness is an integrated lifestyle in which someone can simply notice how they are feeling and become aware of their behaviors. Importantly, mindfulness emphasizes an attitude of non-judgment. Healing from depression and learning to live with depression symptoms is possible for you in your life.

One of California’s only certified mental health facilities for primary mental health conditions, we treat your depression directly and help you heal mind, body, and spirit.

“Awe” is defined as “a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder. Awe is often synonymous with wonder or wonderment. “Wonder” is defined as a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.” Recovery, in any of its forms, is all of these things. There is a clearly inexplicable process which can bring relief to depression, security to anxiety, healing to trauma, and an end to substance abuse. Having lived entire lifetimes with unmanageable symptoms, the transformation of recovery is unexpected and certainly unfamiliar. Yet, through the process, there is a reverential feeling with that something beautiful is happening. With a healthy sense of fear of what has been before the awe-inducing wonderment of the what is now, people live their lives in happy bewilderment at the miracle of recovery. Cultivating awe in your life is part of making meaning, which is essential to happy and healthy long term recovery. Mindful cites, “research suggests that awe has numerous psychological benefits, including increased life satisfaction, a sense of time slowing down or standing still, and  greater desire to help others.” In addition, experiencing awe regularly can improve one’s health. Recent studies have found that experiencing awe more frequently can reduce inflammation, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease. “Awe may help people cope better with stress,” the article expands, “by promoting curiosity and exploration, rather than withdrawal and isolation.” What Is Awe? “...Awe involves feeling interconnected with others and broadening our horizons,” Mindful poetically describes. Awe is “...like a camera lens zooming out to reveal a more complex and inclusive picture. From this vantage point, everyday concerns tend to feel less overwhelming- as we get smaller, so do they.” Typically, we feel awe when we experience something greater than ourselves. We feel wonder, and a little bit of fear. Mountains, lakes, rivers, vast horizons, and nature tend to induce a feeling of awe. The miracle of birth, watching children grow, seeing healing in others, witnessing a proposal on a random afternoon- when we see life happen in all of its fullness, we are filled with awe. For this reason, the process of recovery is awe-inducing in itself. Being part of a life-saving transformation which takes the broken spirits of those who have been coping with life through the abusive use of drugs and alcohol is nothing less than a wonder. How is it that chronic addicts and alcoholics can stop drinking and using? How is it that people who have felt afflicted with great emotional pain their entire lives can find a profoundly realistic sense of peace and serenity? It is, indeed, a wonder. Creating Awe In Recovery A combination of gratitude and mindfulness are two of the most practical tools which could be applied to creating awe in recovery. Being mindful helps you to be aware of and notice the world around you. The more attention you pay, the more you will see. Finding and developing gratitude for that world helps you realize just how much awe there is to be had for everything from the satisfying taste of your favorite breakfast food to the gentle way a leaf falls from a tree in autumn. Drugs and alcohol create a small, specific world. Recovery opens your world up and invites you be be amazed. Recovery is possible. Avalon Malibu invites you to call for a confidential assessment and for more information on how our transformative healing treatment programs can help you find the wonder in life again. 1 888-958-7511.

Going to treatment helps when the mental health disorder you are living with becomes too much. However, just walking through the doors of a treatment center is not a magical cure all. The coming days will take a lot of hard work, honesty, open-mindedness, willingness, and strength. Every single component of a treatment program like the residential programs at Avalon Malibu is designed to help you gain the strength you need to continue enduring. You are being put through a daily design for healing your wounds, which will help you grow stronger. Staying so mentally strong when you feel as though you are constantly on the brink of falling apart is a challenge. Remember, you are learning to take things one day at a time. A lot can happen in a day. You will have moments of weakness. You will also have moments of great strength. Here are a few ways to keep yourself mentally strong as you work on your mental health and wellbeing. Stay Present In Treatment And Stay Focused On The Future After Treatment It might sound contradictory, especially when you are learning mindfulness based stress reduction techniques telling you to let go of the future and focus on the present. Having goals for the future can be exceptionally helpful in mental health treatment. You are working towards creating a better, healthier, more well-balanced life. If you keep dreading about the future and imagining it as a continuation of your current struggle, there won’t be any reason to keep going. To stay mentally strong, you have to have inspiration, a goal, or some kind of meaning to work toward. Don’t Be Bashful Of What You Accomplish Getting out of bed and putting on clothes every day is a pretty big accomplishment when you feel the weight of your mental illness pulling down on you. Going through the motions of a daily treatment program is full of tiny victories. Feel good about your accomplishments without judging them or labeling them “because you’re in treatment”. Treat Yourself With Kindness Nobody throws a punch like you do, in your own mind. You can beat yourself pretty well if you really want to. Treatment is a time to stop doing that. Practice self-kindness by being a little more gentle and understanding with yourself. As you take other actions to gain mental strength, this will be one of the more important ones. Nothing will wear you down faster than constantly being a bully to yourself. Avalon Malibu is one of California’s only treatment facilities providing residential treatment for clients with a primary mental health condition. If you or a loved one are in need of higher care and are ready to find healing, call us today for a confidential assessment at 1 888-958-7511.

The context of the “it” doesn’t really matter. If you're going through something difficult in life that is making everything feel like a painful challenge, whether it be a mental health disorder, an addiction, or processing trauma, it can feel like it will never end. Right now, there’s very little hope on the horizon for you. So accustomed to pain as you have become it has gotten difficult to believe that life could be any different. The thought scares you. In fact, it terrifies you. What if it doesn’t get any better? What if you go to treatment, change your entire life, work hard, feel feelings you don’t want to, shed tears, show emotions, talk about the past and do everything you’ve been running away from doing for so long...and it doesn’t work? “It works if you’re work it,” it is often said in recovery, “so work it because you’re worth it.” A small part they often lead out is that the “work” is “worth it”, too. It is going to get better. If you’re reading this right now, you’re already on your way to making it better. The first step in overcoming any problem is admitting that there is a problem. Denial is a powerful tool. Melody Beattie describes denial as a protective shield, a “shock absorber for the soul” which helps keep us from realities we aren’t prepared to cope with yet. Investigating the ending of things means you’re beginning to recognize that what you are going through might be finite, at least your suffering might be. Ongoing in recovery, there will be rough days. There will be tough days. Some days will make it feel as though hardly anything has changed. Yet, even still, you will notice, that in just the smallest degree- it's a little bit better. Maybe it's the way you handle a bad day, how you reflect on a difficult moment, or how you stand up for yourself when you need to. One of the promises in The Big Books Of Alcoholics Anonymous states that you will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle you. Whatever it is you are going through now which is causing you so much pain is baffling. Commit to treatment, commit to recovery, and you will see that the changes commence immediately. However quickly or slowly, they will come and things will get better, if you continue to do the work. Are you ready? If you’re ready to make changes in your life and heal from pain, call Avalon Malibu for a confidential assessment and information about our residential treatment programs for mental health and substance use disorders. 1 888-958-7511.

Leave introverts alone. They’re literally not hurting anyone. There’s nothing wrong with being an introvert! According to Science of Us, there are four different kinds of introversion. To understand an introvert is to love them! Learn more below. Social Introverts Introverts who aren’t interested in being social are probably the most commonly understood model of introversion. Not all social introverts like to be alone all the time, though they often do. Solitude is the idea of a good time for many social introverts, preferring to do the things they love doing the most- alone. For other social introverts, just being with a small group of people as opposed to a big group of people is preferable. Thinking Introverts Ever notice people who seem to be stuck in a far away land deep within themselves? They might attend parties, go on large outings, and always keep to themselves. They’re thinking deeply, contemplating, reflecting, thinking, and often conjuring up brilliant creative ideas. Some people mistake thinking introversion for neuroticism or being anti-social. Instead, you could think of it as a matter of preference. They just prefer thinking and keeping to themselves. Anxious Introverts Introversion is usually enjoyable for introverts. For people who are anxiously introverted, their behaviors are a matter of necessity rather than choice. They feel extremely uncomfortable around other people because they’re uncomfortable with themselves. Seeking out solitude is a matter of survival as much as it is a social choice. Unfortunately, their introversion isn’t always the answer. Feelings of discomfort follow them even when they’re alone. Restrained Introverts Most people act on impulse. Practicing pausing before speaking and acting is a revolutionary development in many people’s lives. People who are more reserved or restrained don’t find it revolutionary, it’s a natural part of their lives. Before they become even remotely introverted on a normal scale, they have to get themselves going first. Avalon Malibu is a provider of mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment both on primary, residential levels. Our beautiful estate is the perfect home for clients who need to recover and heal. For a confidential assessment and more information, call us today at 1 888-958-7511.

A new research study from the University of Exeter reveals that bird watching, in addition to other outdoor activities, can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. Over 270 people were surveyed for the study. “People who live in neighborhoods with birds, shrubs, and trees are less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and stress,” Good News Network explains. There are benefits for mental health wellbeing if you are able to see birds and natural things outside of your home. Staring out the window at the lovely world isn’t enough, though it is a good start. The study found that “those who spent less time out of doors than usual in the previous week were more likely to report they were anxious or depressed.” Isolation is a common side effect of both depression and anxiety. People who are living with depression don’t want to have to put forth the energy to interact with people, explain why they’re acting so different, or have to talk about any emotions. Those living with anxiety experience a similar sentiment. Their antisocial tendencies are caused by feeling too overwhelmed and anxious by the idea of being around any number of people, in a social setting, or feeling like they have to perform. Homes can become comfortable and safe. Most people feel that is what a home should be- a place of security and shelter. However, staying home all the time can be debilitating and worsen the symptoms of mental health disorders. This study is not the first to suggest that being near nature and being able to see nature is helpful to lessening the symptoms of mental illness. It does confirm that getting outside, leaving the comforts of home, and immersing oneself into the beauty of nature is critically important and beneficial. Ways To Enjoy The Neighborhood Not everyone can live next door to a park. You can look online to find your county or state’s parks and recreation website to locate all the parks nearby. You might even find just a street corner with a bit of grass and a few planted trees. The research proves that spending time even in that small space, especially if there are birds, will be helpful to mental health. Avalon Malibu is located on a beautiful estate overlooking the iconic California coastline. Surrounded by lush gardens, hovering trees and beautiful flowers, our residential treatment homes are encompassed by the healing power of nature. If you or a loved one are looking for treatment for a mental health or substance use disorder, call us today for a confidential assessment at 1 888-958-7511.

Overcoming sadness is a matter of understanding and working with sadness. If you are living with depression, you might feel like you have too much sadness. In time, with treatment and therapy, the extremes of your emotions will balance out. Sadness will never go away. Feeling sad is a demonstration of our humanity. When we feel sad, we are able to recognize we have something to feel sad about. Making meaning, developing connections, and feeling attached to things in this world are healthy human traits. Sadness is the result of that. Living with sadness rather than fighting against sadness requires building an understanding of sadness and how it works in our lives. Happify Daily outlines three ways you can start viewing sadness differently: as a bonding tool, as a way to understand our emotions, and as a mindfulness based practice. Sadness is a bonding tool People come together in the wake of a tragedy. After violent events, tragic losses, and other life-altering experiences, some find themselves criticizing themselves and other humans. Why do we have to wait until something terrible happens to feel as if we are brought closer together? Sadness is a bonding mechanism. Letting ourselves feel raw, vulnerable, and sad, is an open space for meeting that moment in other people. Something unique about the real-time experience of sadness removes all of our typical barriers. We are able to recognize that everyone feels pain. Sadness helps us understand our other emotions Perhaps you’ve experienced a moment like this. As you’ve sat an cried, sobbing away about something, you feel somewhat detached, as if you’re sitting behind the waterfall of your tears. Sometimes sadness and crying feels like an opportunity to think. Releasing the swell of emotions we are processing, we can look at all of them and get a better idea of what we are going through. Sadness is a practice in mindfulness According to the article, “Psychologists say the ability to identify and manage emotions is emotional intelligence at work, and existing in this space is something they often call mindfulness.” Being sad, being present with your sadness, and just letting your sadness be what it is, is an incredibly mindful practice. Mindfulness is helpful with emotional regulation because of this exact process. You can allow your emotions to be what they are as they are while you remain present with them. Are you struggling with depression or the feeling that your emotions are out of control? We understand how that feels. To help, we’ve created a residential treatment program full of healing clinical therapy, comforting holistic treatments, and a beautiful estate to bring you serenity again.

Depression doesn't look the same from one person to the next. That is why treating mental health disorders cannot be done with a blanket treatment program. Each individual is different in the way their mental illness manifests and the way that they respond most positively to treatment. Listing the symptoms of depression indicates its diversity. One has a change in appetite, either eating more or less. They might experience a sudden change in weight, either gaining or losing it. With sleep, they’re either sleeping or they aren’t. Signs of compensatory optimism might show, or, there might be blatant pessimism. Depression can be confused with mania when someone tries to cope for their negative feelings, or it can result in a complete lack of energy and motivation. Depression doesn’t have just one type, it has many types. Scientific American reported on new findings by Conor Liston, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, and his team, published by Nature Medicine. Through the innovative use of “resting fMRI” and investigating biomarkers, Liston and his team determined four separate types of depression. Promisingly, Liston feels that if the findings from his study could be repeated and therefore improved, mental health treatment for depression could radically changed. “If confirmed in additional studies, the findings could enable clearer diagnoses and pave the way for personalized therapies targeting brain networks found to be awry in individual patients.” The four types haven’t been characterized yet but are instead defined by individual brain responses. Understanding depression is a critical step in learning how to treat it better. Signs Of Depression Depression is not just a mental health disorder, it becomes a physical health disorder as well. As indicated by the list of symptoms of above, telling what is depression and what is not can be difficult. For example, people with depression can become hypersensitive and emotional. Conversely, they can become agitated, aggressive, and defensive. Though depression shouldn’t be generalized, there are general changes to look for; that is, significant changes. If something feels off, isn’t normal, and doesn’t seem to just go away on its own, there’s a chance you are struggling with a chemical imbalance like depression. If you or a loved one are in need of treatment for depression or another mental health disorder, call Avalon Malibu. We are one of California’s only treatment facilities certified to provide treatment to primary mental health conditions. Our beautiful estate also houses or substance use disorder treatment facility, giving us the ability to treat dual diagnosis clients with

Self-condemnation is a powerful tool. We have leverage on ourselves our entire lives when we believe we’ve done something worth punishment. No matter our victories, accomplishments, or joyus, we will always have that lingering sense of guilt there. Reminding us of worser times, we cna’t allow ourselves to be present, to develop in our self-worth, or be happy. Convicted for life, punishable by guilt, never to be redeemed. Coping with extreme feelings of guilt and shame is not something that we do particularly well as individuals with substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Often, the reason we develop such issues is out of a need to cope with such heavy guilt. Guilt that becomes dysfunctional and invades other areas of our lives is considered toxic. Toxic guilt is nothing more than how it sounds. Living with toxic guilt and shame feels like living with an active virus. Anything will set it off and cause it to spread. We feel toxic guilt and shame in our minds, our hearts, our souls, and even our bodies. Carrying around the weight of the entire world’s punishment by not forgiving ourselves and moving on becomes exhausting. Though we might grow calloused under the pressure and get used to the consistency of self loating, it isn’t sustainable. How To Forgive Yourself Possibly, you deserve the blame. You did something wrong, something unforgiveably wrong, and there’s no denying that. In the height of our mental illnesses and addictions, we can make some very prone decisions. Some people live with the nowledge of taking another person’s life when they were in a drunk driving accident. Others have hurt and abused the ones they love. Forgiveness is not about changing the past or condoning what has happened. Instead, forgiveness is about accepting the fact that it happened and making a commitment to do better in the future. You must start by accepting what has happened because there’s no going back and changing it. Recognize that like all people, you’re humans, and humans, thankfully, are not perfect. As such, imperfect people should be expected to make perfect mistakes. Next, you must be able to let go of that punishment and realize that you are now seeking treatment, are in treatment, or are working a program of recovery. Actively, you are creating change in your life to ensure you never have to act that way again. Avalon By The Sea is here to help you make that journey toward self-forgiveness and healing. Our residential treatment facility is one of the few certified to treat primary mental health conditions.
