Many people who are deep in the throes of depression or anxiety can't recognize how sick they've become, and they resist help. Here's a simple guide for broaching the subject of well-being, when and how to get professional help, and the language of love that should be used again and again in dealing with someone's mental health disorder.

As a Portland, Oregon resident since 2001, our host Sheila Hamilton started to notice the dreariness, lethargy, and sadness of the winter months. Seasonal affective disorder is a real mood disorder with devastating impact for people who feel discouraged, listless, and unmotivated during the dreary winter months. In this interview, CityCastPortland talks with Sheila about cognitive behavioral therapy tricks for combatting the winter blues and when you know its time to talk to a professional.

It's that time of year when Portland's gray weather can make even the most cheerful feel down. Seasonal depression is a very real thing, and for those already struggling, it can be incapacitating. So, we're spending this entire week talking with experts about a whole range of ways to protect our mental health. After her husband's suicide, Sheila Hamilton dedicated her life to demystifying and normalizing conversations about mental health. She founded BeyondWell, a company and podcast that provides mental health services and training. We asked Sheila for her best advice to cope with our gloomy winters.

In this mini-episode, Kimi and Christy talk about Kimi's experience interviewing Sheila Hamilton about her late husband David who had a diagnosis of bipolar, a diagnosis Kimi shares. Christy asks the question: why is Kimi “triggered” every time bipolar disorder comes up? The very important punchline is that Kimi is not Carrie from Homeland and she cannot control the narrative around bipolar or how people experience her. Instead, she can (and will) continue to talk about living with bipolar with openness and honesty because that is her truth. It's liberating! They also share some simple strategies to use when you experience internal or external triggers. Breathe deep and take good care.

Sheila Hamilton was married to David, the kind of man she always wanted to have kids with, brilliant and funny with a zest for life. And then one day she saw something in him that she hadn't seen before - a darkness that suggested a deep internal struggle, which later progressed to extreme behavior change. It was confusing. Was this still the man she married? What she didn't know was that David was suffering from undiagnosed bipolar disorder. What should we do when we suspect the one we love is suffering from mental illness? Warning: this episode discusses suicide In this episode, we talk about:Sign posts as David descended into mental illness.What it means to be a caretaker and love someone who is mentally ill.The struggle to separate the person from the illness.The power and importance of hope to carry someone who is a place of suffering and darkness.How common these conditions are.How better off we would be as a society if we could talk about them.Stay connected to Sheila:Website: www.sheilahamilton.comBook: All The Things We Never KnewPodcast: Beyond Well MediaFacebook: Sheila Hamilton PortlandInstagram: @sheilahamiltonTwitter: @SheilaHamiltonCharity Donation: Lines For LifeSubscribe to All The Wiser wherever you listen to podcasts - we're on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and more!

Content warning: This episode DOES discuss some  serious topics, including suicide. If you are experiencing some of those feelings yourself, please reach out to a professional for help. You can always reach The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.We talk a lot on this podcast about asking for help - when you notice you're struggling with your mental health. And that can be a really hard step to take. But then, what happens when you ask for help, and the help you receive isn't what's best for you and your brain?? Unfortunately, that does happen. You can be prescribed the wrong meds, diagnosed with the wrong mental illness, or given the wrong treatment - and that can be really dangerous.That happened to Sheila Hamilton's husband. And now she's devoted her entire career to breaking down the stigma around mental illness and changing the system, through her podcast, Beyond Well with Sheila Hamilton, her web series, Chasing Chaos, and her book, All the Things We Never Knew: Chasing the Chaos of Mental Illness. So in this episode, we talk to Sheila about what she's learned about Bipolar Disorder, some of the misconceptions about mental illness and suicide, and what she hopes the mental health system will look like someday.Listen to Sheila's podcast: https://beyondwellwithsheilahamilton.com/Watch her web series, Chasing Chaos: https://www.namicc.org/chasingchaosYou can keep up with Mentally Together on Instagram @mentallytogetherpod.

First Things First: Taking Care of YOU during Coronavirus Sheila Hamilton, Kink morning show reporter turned mental health advocate, offers advice on battling the 3 key PR vulnerabilities You may have noticed that we took a short pause in the typical PR Talk programming. Even though we kept busy with the side-project of Fika Talk — a video series featuring myself and my daughter providing quick self-employment tips — the “break” allowed me to reflect and ask myself: What am I doing with this podcast? What is the point?   Help is On the Way The answer was easy because the point has always been to help my fellow PR people. For no obvious business reason other than this oddly altruistic ideal. I don’t know why I want to help PR people as I am too short-sighted to do any proper planning to tie in my present-day actions with my long-term goals. I just simply want to have fun connecting with guests on the podcast, assist PR people in discovering excellence, and learn a little bit along the way.

Living a values-based life is different from a goal-oriented one. A values-based life encompasses more than trying to “feel good” or get to a final destination. When you direct your life toward what really matters to you, you will feel an increased sense of meaning and vitality, whatever situation you find yourself in. Values-based living has greater depth and staying power than goals and resolutions. Join Debbie and Dr. Jenna LeJeune, author of Values in Therapy: A Clinician’s Guide to Helping Clients Explore Values, Increase Psychological Flexibility, and Live a More Meaningful Life, for an encouraging discussion about what “living well” really means and how to increase values-based living in yourself and in your clients.

Sheila Hamilton is a national speaker on suicide prevention, mental health, and resilience. In this live presentation, Sheila talks about the unique opportunity we have to remake ourselves, again and again. During Suicide Prevention month, reach out to someone who may be suffering from prolonged grief, complicated depression or suicidal thoughts and remind them: One day, your story about what you are going through will help someone else survive another day. There is an opportunity for growth in every aspect of our suffering. Stay Another Day.

No matter who we are, we are all going to struggle at some point in our lives. While this is an inevitable truth of being human, what if we could talk openly about our struggles, share our stories, and build a toolbox for better living? This is the foundation of the message, and the mission of the Beyond Well podcast with Sheila Hamilton. As a five-time Emmy award winning journalist, Sheila has worked in every media platform including documentary film, television, radio, podcasting, and is also the author of: All the Things We Never Knew, a powerful memoir about the journey of loving and losing someone with mental illness. It’s not an easy task to try and summarize the strength, courage, and resilience of Sheila Hamilton, and my hope is that when you listen to this interview you will be inspired to read, absorb, and connect with her work as an author, mental health advocate, and professional storyteller. 

I've been talking to experts about mental health, psychology and wellness for more than a decade. But, when I finally met Dr. Brian Goff and Dr. Jenna LeJeune, I knew they were my kind of people.  In this episode of Beyond Well, Brian and Jenna talk with Sheila Hamilton about their careers, and what brought them to be interested in a particular type of therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.  Dr. LeJeune: "So much of the conversation around psychological suffering is pathologizing it. If you are experiencing pain, you've got to fix it. But if you are experiencing pain, that doesn't mean something is wrong with you. We have these tools that can help you develop psychological flexibility to deal more effectively with pain in the moment of your suffering."  Dr. Brian Goff: "I don't want people to fix themselves. I want someone to listen to this and feel like they're in good company with other humans and learn to reduce the pain they feel about their pain. How can I experience it in a way that even when my boat is taking on water, or is so scuffed up, or battered by the seas, I can still learn to sail."

Courtenay Hameister talks with Sheila Hamilton, host of Beyond Well, and Dr.'s Brian Goff and Jenna LeJeune. Courtenay has lived with anxiety for most of her life. Her book, Okay, Fine, Whatever, the Year I Went From Being Afraid of Everything to Just Most Things chronicles a year in which Courtenay pushes herself to try almost everything that scares her. The results are funny and profoundly heartbreaking and provide a window into the reality of living with panic disorders and anxiety.

Sheila Hamilton:  And a person who really is so important, so key in knowing if you want to work in Portland because you seem to have tentacles all throughout our community. It's so good to see you again. Mac Prichard:    It's terrific to see you again, Sheila. Sheila Hamilton:  Why did you ... I knew you back in City Government, we were both covering City Government a long long time ago, why did you decide to move into employment and helping people secure their dream jobs? Mac Prichard:    Well, I went down to Salem after City Hall when you and I worked together, and I after working for the governor and as a spokesman for different state agencies, I took a position with Portland State and I wanted to stay in touch with my colleagues in Salem. We all get job postings, they all cross our desks occasionally, so in order to remain connected with people I just started forwarding the postings I got to a few dozen people in Salem. As the years went by, and Mac's List is a 14 year overnight success, I started hearing from employers I didn't know and people I didn't know who said, "Add me to your list". It grew slowly, at the end of eight years we had less than a thousand names but right now we have more than twenty thousand, and we have about eighty thousand people who take advantage, visit Mac's List, the website, the social media accounts, and the newsletter, and the podcasts. Sheila Hamilton:  Now, I noticed your strength seems to be in non-profit and government work, but you're also doing private business now it appears, right? Mac Prichard:  We are and I think you know, Sheila, I run two small businesses. One is macslist.org, which is the online community for people looking for rewarding creative work in Oregon and beyond, and the other is Prichard Communications, it's a public relations company that works with foundations, non-profits, and other social change organizations, and my career- I'm in my fifties now, has always been about making a difference on issues I care about or in the community where I live and work, ideally both, and I have used my communication skills to do that and what also connects both companies is we're really good at connecting people because we find when we connect folks, whether it's through our public relations work at Prichard Communications or at Mac's List, great things happen. Sheila Hamilton:  If a person's coming to Portland and they want to know what the variety of jobs that are available, do they need to sign up for your list? Mac Prichard: Yes, we have a free newsletter. It goes out every Tuesday at 2PM Pacific Time, and they're typically about a hundred new jobs there every week, and you'll find three or four hundred on the website which is also free at macslist.org, but the newsletter comes out every Tuesday. Sheila Hamilton:     And then are you actually connecting people with jobs that you think that you're like, "Your profile looks to me like you'd be really good over there", or are you leaving that up to them to do? Mac Prichard:    We're leaving it up to the job-seeker. As we've done this work, we've learned an old lesson which is ... And I had this experience too. Most people, including me at the start of my career, we don't know how to look for work, and so it's not a skill that's taught in schools or universities, and we learn it by trial and error. That's certainly what I did, and so in addition to the job listings, we have a blog, a book, and a podcast that shares the tips and tricks people need to not only find their next job, but have a great career. Sheila Hamilton:   What I loved, and I just listened to the podcast a couple of weeks ago, is you're providing content on that podcast that isn't just applicable to Portland, you're providing job-seeking tips and tricks of the trade that's applicable to anyone seeking a job in any part of the country. Mac Prichard: And that's by design because we do hear from people across the United States and the information that we're sharing can be used by anywhere. Sheila Hamilton:  On your podcast you have structured it in a really interesting way. You kind of do the state of the job thing, you divide it into little specific tips, what people do wrong. What have you found to be the most popular segments on the podcast? Mac Prichard:  Right now we're hearing great things about the expert interviews, people are hungry for that knowledge. Connecting people with those experts has been popular. We've also had good feedback about the information that my colleagues share, Ben Forstag every week shares blogs or books or websites that people can use in managing their career, and Cecilia Bianca, our community manager, she hears from listeners and readers all the time and she every week answers one of their questions. Sheila Hamilton:    I want to get in to some of the do's and don'ts of the modern job search. It's so interesting because I haven't had to look for a job in almost ten years, but I'm constantly reading blogs and journal articles about job searching. I don't know why, it's just an area of interest to me. It seems to me that the old adage of being personally connected is still very true. Mac Prichard:    It is and we strongly encourage people to follow an 80/20 rule. There's an estimate out there, nobody knows for certain, but up to 80% of all jobs may never be advertised, and it's not because there's some giant conspiracy, it's because it's human nature. People hire people they know, or they hire people who are recommended to them by others who they know and trust. Your challenge as a job-seeker is to crack that hidden job market, and the best way to do it is to spend up to 80% of your time networking, volunteering, doing informational interviews, so that you're building relationships and people are connecting with you. Sheila Hamilton:    And the other 20% of the time? Mac Prichard:  Look at job boards and there are many boards out there. Mac's List is one, lots of niche boards, whatever your professional, there's undoubtedly a niche board connected to it. There's also don't ignore traditional newspapers and whether online or in print because positions do get posted there, but most people because they don't know otherwise, they spend 100% of their time responding to job boards and newspaper ads. They really should only be spending about 20 to 30%. Sheila Hamilton:     Wow. I want to talk about the generation of kids that just came out of college, 2008 to 2012, I just heard dismal statistics about their ability to actually find meaningful jobs. Have those improved at all in the last two years for that section of graduates who came out of college with a lot of debt and not a lot of hope in terms of the economy? Mac Prichard:  There's research out there Sheila, which you probably seen that says whatever your generation, if you graduate during a recession, that's going to have a long-term affect on your earnings, and so that timing can be unfortunate. Your challenge if you're in that generation or graduating during the middle of a recession is to get really good about your job hunting and career management skills to make an extra effort because the market is always competitive, but it's especially competitive when the unemployment rate is as high as it was several years ago. Sheila Hamilton:     There's another segment of job-seekers that I'm really concerned about and that's people in their fifties who end up getting laid off from a job and then they're highly skilled and yet seen as perhaps too expensive, perhaps getting into an age when they might use up medical resources, is there any advice you could give to that segment of job-seekers? Mac Prichard:    I'm in that demographic group myself, I'm in my mid-fifties, and again mastering job hunting and career management skills is going to serve you very well, and it is challenging. Again, there's research that shows it's harder for people at that stage of life to find a next opportunity and that means you need not only to work harder, but you need to work as smart as possible. Sheila Hamilton:  When most people are thinking about job searching, it's when they lose a job. Mac Prichard:  Right. Sheila Hamilton:  Do you advise people to be searching for your next job while you still have a job? Mac Prichard:  I do and again, I speak from personal experience. Twice I've collected unemployment at different points in my career. Once I exhausted my benefits and it wasn't because I was sitting on a beach in Thailand. I was out there looking hard, and so I know how scary it is when you cash that last check and you're not sure what might happen next. From that experience and they both happened once in my twenties and once in my early thirties, it reinforced for me personally how important it is to think about career management and it's just from my father's generation, somebody who graduated from college in 1952, you really would go to a company and stay there most of your life, but for my generation and young adults now it's not true. Making career management part of your professional life is just essential. Sheila Hamilton: Is there an advisor that you can hire. I know that you can join your list, that you can read a lot of books, but should you have a professional in your corner? Mac Prichard: It can help a lot and you have a lot of options, so for those who went to college, connecting with your university career service office while you're both a student and an alumni can be very helpful. The first time after I cashed my last unemployment check in my twenties, my wife was working at Northeastern University in Boston and someone in the career services office agreed to meet with me. It was so helpful, Sheila. She took me through a goal-setting process, taught me the basics of networking and informational interviewing, and with that coaching I landed a job in about two months. Sheila Hamilton:       That's fantastic. Mac Prichard:   There are professionals out there who do this as a living, resume writers, career coaches, and as with any vendor you should shop around and be clear about what your needs are and interview people and get references, but they can be very helpful. Sheila Hamilton:      Lastly, I just want to talk about Portland as I'm seeing it and I kind of try to pay attention to what's happening here. We are still really strong in the cultural creative realm where young people are coming and starting their own very small businesses. We're not that strong in terms of big companies coming here and developing a Fortune 500 and hiring hundreds of people. Is that model gone? Do you think that model is not really going to be the thing that drives Portland jobs anymore? Mac Prichard:  Well, who knows if there's a Jeff Bezos or another CEO in Portland today who's going to create that company, so a lot of it depends on the community and the people within it, but I think small business have always been the largest employers overall. That's not a change and I think that is one of Portland's strengths actually compared to other regions. It's a place where I hear from employers and I experience this as an employer myself where you can start things and when I moved here from the East Coast in 1991, I was impressed by how open the political system was. People would make time to talk to me and I hear from other people in other fields that keep having that experience, and I think that's one of our biggest assets both economically and culturally.
