Coping Through Connections

04/27/2026

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported Coping Through Connections so far.

Whether you’ve donated, shared a post, offered encouragement, written notes for care packages, or simply believed in the mission—it truly means more than you know.

Building something like this from the ground up isn’t always easy, but knowing there are people who care about mental health, addiction recovery, and helping others keeps me going.

CTC is about reminding people in mental health and addiction stabilization units that they are seen, valued, and not alone—and every bit of support helps make that possible.

We’re just getting started, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for being part of this journey 💚💜

CTC is donating Christmas bags to Highland Rivers stabilization unit along with a stabilization unit in Cedartown. I was hoping I could get 80 people to email me words of encouragement. Doesn’t have to be anything long, just a few words of encouragement so I can put them in the Christmas bags. My email is brentdavis6198@gmail.com
Thank you so much.

I wonder why when someone dies by su***de its always kept hush hush for as long as possible? If someone dies in a car wreck and someone asks how they died people say “they died in a car wreck” but for some reason su***de is always hidden until it can’t be hidden anymore. Su***de is not a shameful death. Someone was sick, just as if they had a heart attack. Let’s stop hiding the problem and instead start talking about it.

Unfortunately, it looks like both. I have looked like both. The only difference is with the one on the right, you have to look at the signs closer, and that is hard to do if you have your own life to live. That is why it is so important to always make sure your loved one knows you are always there for them, whether they are depressed or not. So if the time ever does come when they need you, it will be easier for them to talk to you if they already know they can.

Hello everyone, just wanted to reach out and let everyone know Coping Through Connections is still up and going but will be getting a little bit of a re-vamp. With a little help from an anonymous source, I realized people need me to keep pushing forward. With that being said I have some news to throw out. On the 21st I will be telling my story for the Respect Institute at their virtual Winter Speaker Jam. If anyone would like to attend I can get you the info. Then on the 23rd I will be speaking for the 3rd year in a row at Georgia Northwestern Technical College. On the 24th I will be telling my story to the Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Then sometime this coming fall I will be speaking to a class of nurses at Lagrange College. The most exciting news for me is, I have just got the autobiography that I wrote called A Little Piece of My Brain back from the editor with rave reviews. Be looking for the book to come out on Amazon in the next couple of months. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you. I hope it helps tons of people. So that is a sneak peak of what’s going on with CTC. Hope everyone has a blessed evening.

Word!​​​​​​​​
As someone who is a highly sensitive person (HSP) and an empath, I can’t agree with this more.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Too often we go through life believing the narrative others feed us about being “too sensitive,” how we need to “toughen up” or “grow thicker skin” etc… I ask you to please reflect on the Fact that there’s nothing wrong with you or in need of “fixing!” That you don’t need to follow these cliche instructions given by people who simply do not understand you, and that what you need to be doing instead is creating boundaries that honor your softness and sensitivity. Setting healthy boundaries is KEY. I can’t stress this enough. And remember, you can both set boundaries AND be true to your empathetic/compassionate nature. One does not negate the other!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Too often, softness and sensitivity have become synonymous with weakness and frailty by society, and in turn many of us have come to believe it ourselves. Though it can make us more vulnerable to pain, it most certainly does not make us less capable of enduring and rising through it; if anything it has forged us into fiercely tough and resilient beings as a result. These same people would be dumbfounded to learn of the strength it would require to navigate all that we do if they were to step into our shoes for even one day.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“Maybe the problem isn't that you are too sensitive.​​​​​​​​
Maybe the problem is that they lack the emotional intelligence required to process empathy.​​​​​​​​
The problem is that they aren't sensitive enough.”​​​​​​​​
