Healing Looks Different for Everyone
We all have a different method to maintain the madness we hide from the world. This week I did my nails – they’re just glued on but I love having my nails be long and pretty again, even if it makes writing a little harder. This time I am not doing it for anyone but myself. I am not doing it to fit in, or because other girls are doing it, I am doing it because as non-binary as I am, I am…

Medication Changes Your Diet and For an Anorexic Person That's a Bitch
So I’m about 300 pounds. I blame the pandemic because before that I was about 250, I worked really hard to lose weight, and by “worked really hard” I mean it. I walked, drank water, ate healthier, and focused on cleansing my body inside and out. But when I was a kid I took a medication called Dexidrin, it’s an appetite suppressant, but it’s also a behavior changer. I stopped eating on that…

Is Prison the Answer?
Has it ever been? Like, let’s get real honest about mental health. Many folks who deal with mental health issues have trauma from outside sources. We need to start by acknowledging that fact. The second thing that we need to acknowledge is that in the past our answer to mental health issues was to lock folks up, beat, drug, rape, and torture them while calling it medicine. The third thing…

Join The Petty Cunt Club With Me
As designated member 001, I can honestly say being petty was the best decision of my entire life. I started Loud Mouth Brown Girl because I was called a loud mouth brown bitch by a white cop who covered my body in bruises, at a moment when I needed space to breathe, more than I needed anything else in the entire world. Since the beginning of time, women and girls have been vilified by the men…

Who The Fuck Is Devon J Hall?
I am a reformed anti-Roman Catholic, non-binary, female-presenting, disabled, mental health, cannabis, and disability, advocate, from British Columbia Canada. It took me exactly 40 years, 11 months, and 27 days ago, which is 14,972 days. I asked Google. Because I think it’s important to celebrate this birthday. This is the day that CP said he’d always come back and kill me, but he’s not going…

Happy Devon J Hall Day
It’s my birthday. I don’t know how to feel. I’ve been trying to write this post for days but today is the day I was born 41 years ago. The most amazing thing isn’t that I am here, it’s not that I survived, it’s not even the shit that I went through, it’s that I have become this whollllle ass new person, that never existed before. I’m the first one to exist, as I am, in this form, and no one has…

Public Notice: I Am Getting A Divorce from The Church
In light of the Pope’s disgusting rhetoric on Trans human beings, I have decided I no longer want to be considered even remotely close to being a Catholic. I am tired of Trans human beings being told that they literally, do not have a right to exist, because “God said so.” God is not a weapon. God is not a fucking toy. God is an idea, designed to control people, but they do not have to be. The…

Mental Health on a Schedual
Every day of life is hard in different ways for many folks around the world. So recently because I want to write more about mental health and less about my personal shit, I’ve been looking for folks who are writing about mental health to see what they’re saying, experiencing, and sharing, with the world. One of the blogs I have found is written by a Brown man (I know right?!) called Crafting…

If God Could Speak...
What would God Say? I don’t think, and I haven’t for a while now, that God is as all-powerful as people believe. And if God were all-powerful, then I’d seriously have to question God’s politics, because I don’t see the fair and just world that I was brought up to believe in. I see trauma, depression, fear, anxiety, and woe-driving forces destroying everything in their path, which just happens…

The Other B Word, By Dae
Every once in a while, and not often enough for my liking, I love to share a post that evokes something in me. The truth of it is I don’t read enough WordPress.com blogs, but I am going to make a concentrated effort. This is a really great piece by Dae, who asks us to follow our passions and to discover what those passions are by asking intentional questions that help us chip away at what we…

Survivor's Connection 3 Fundraiser
At Surrey Urban Mission Society, I worked my way up from cleaning toilets to cooking, to eventually managing other volunteers and staff, helping folks enter recovery programs, and creating programs for women and at-risk youth in the community. For the last several years I haven’t really known what I was meant to do, and then the pandemic happened and I realized how alone I was. I started…

Stand Up For Yourself, Because No One Else Will
My circle knows my story. They know that when I was a kid my mom’s best friend married a serial rapist and cult leader, who then went on to hurt thousands of women across several continents. He has been in prison for 125 years. I did not make this up, the law is on my side when it comes to this man and the crimes he committed, including but not limited to: Rape Torture Cult…

What To Do When Your Doctor Doesn't Believe You...
I realize now, because I am (let’s be honest) not overly original, that lots of patients have doctors who don’t believe them. From talking to some of my friends I’ve learned many of the people I know and love are dealing with symptoms that are going ignored but these doctors, because they aren’t trained to believe their patients. I wish I had the opportunity to learn from teachers, who teach…

What Is The Next Step In Your Mental Health Journey?
No, you probably haven’t decided what you’re going to do next, because probably you’re just discovering what it means to have mental health issues. It took me years of explaining my mental health issues for me to stop and ask myself, to emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and sexually, take stock of what I need. I’ve never been particularly great with compartmentalization, I find…

Mental Health & Rehabilitation
So my mom has a concussion. She was hit in the head several months ago by a woman who came into her workplace and started harassing folks. Mom turned her back and the woman smacked her in the head. The most interesting thing about this situation is that it’s helped me to understand my mom a lot better than I used to. I have mental health issues, but there isn’t really a “rehabilitation”…

I Have Hearing Problems!!!!
This is amazing, because of the head trauma that I experienced from being hit as a child, by one of my abusers, causing hearing problems, has been driving me crazy my whole life, and I genuinely thought I was crazy. Turns out, I have hearing loss. For years I’ve been reading lips instead of looking folks in the eyes because I wanted to ensure I was catching what they were saying. The problem…

"Do You Have Head Trauma?" ....I have Hearing Aids Now
Why yes random stranger sticking weird sticky things into my ear, I do have head trauma from severe and unlimited amounts of abuse due to sexual predators who are really fucking good at hurting people. Wow! I did not, in fact, say all that when I was asked the question, but you’re damned right when you wonder if I was thinking it because I absolutely was. One of the cool new things about this…
