Matinee Anyone?

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

The box office sign was lit up every weekend and always had been. The only difference was that now the only thing showing in this theater was a kid’s play. Movies had long ago stopped being shown here. There were very few theaters around that still showed movies.

The ones that did usually showed old movies for $1.00 a ticket and were packed for the afternoon matinees when people had nothing else to do. Nighttime movies were a rarity anymore. No one gave up their evening plans just to go to the old theater only to see an old movie.

One-Liner Wednesday – (6/26/19) – Daughter and Grandchildren cleaned apartment

*********************

 

My other daughter and her children came over the other day and gave my apartment a good cleaning. 

**********************

Rules from Linda G Hill:

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”

The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:

1. Make it one sentence.

2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.

3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.

4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!

5. Have fun!

Rebecca’s of Beckie’s Mental Mess Prompt – June 26, 2019

Week #4 – Question Segment:  

How do you deal with the Stigma surrounding your mental disorder/illness? I don’t let it bother me. I take the time to help people understand and I am willing to talk about it to anyone who really wants to know. I have found most people are genuinely interested and want to know about it. 

Does the Stigma associated with mental health bother you?  If so, in what way? It doesn’t bother me personally, but I hate to see others treated badly due to it. 

***************************

🌻RULES:

The following question/suggestion for this week Prompt #1 comes from Carol Anne of “Therapy Bits”.  I,  for one, think that this is an awesome question (s).

Prompt #1 Questions:

How do you deal with the Stigma surrounding your mental disorder/illness?

Does the Stigma associated with mental health bother you?  If so, in what way?

 

Prompt #2 Picture:

Once again, write your own post and create a pingback to the original post here.

There are no right or wrong answers.

Rebecca’s of Beckie’s Mental Mess Prompt – June 19, 2019

I chose this segment as this very thing happened to me.

Week #3 – Question Segment:  

Here are a few coping statements, do you agree or disagree?  Even if your answer is yes or no, please explain:

1. This situation of sitting on a fully packed train either makes you feel uncomfortable or unpleasant, but I can accept it? I was extremely uncomfortable having agreed to ride on the train to meet my friend who was in North Jersey whereas I was located in South Jersey. By car, it is about 3 hours or less, but with 3 changes of trains and my terrible anxiety, it was taking me longer. Driving would have been more anxiety for me than this. 
2. Can I ride out the wave of anxiety, or do I feel like I need professional help now? I was panicking and I kept telling myself that if I freak out and they take me to the hospital my family wouldn’t know where I was. So I tried deep-breathing and telling myself over and over that I was OK and that I could do this. 
3. Do you practice coping skills? If so, what works best for you? I really don’t have coping skills unless you consider deep-breathing and talking to myself over and over a coping skill.

June 19, 2019, Week #3 – “Working on Us” – A Mental Health Questionaire, Plus a Photo Prompt – You Decide

🌻RULES:

Each week I will ask a question or questions pertaining to mental health and add a photo prompt.  Your job, if you so choose to join along, is to write a post on your own blog, and creating a ping-back to the original post.  

🌻It is up to you the reader to decide how you want to answer questions and/or photo prompt.  If you want to write a non-fictional or fictional piece, poetry, whatever… Whatever you choose to do, I will, therefore, reblog what you have written.  This is one way to not only promote your site but also spread awareness to all things mental health related. 🌻

As an added bonus… Since there are so many different mental health illnesses/disorders,  YOU, the blogger can send me a comment as to what you would like to be the next question (s), and they will be addressed in future posts.  

🌻What is the reason behind the “Mental Health Prompts of “Working on Us” (?) It’s fairly simple actually.  I’d like this series to be an all-inclusive mental health community blog in order to be a source of more support towards one another.  Idea’s, suggestions, and advice can be shared amongst the group.🌻

So, Are We Ready for Week# 3?  I am going to start with two prompts.  You can pick one or both, and again, you can choose how you want this to be written.  Don’t forget to create a pingback to the original post, this way I can share with more people within the mental health community, as well as promote your blog site!

Week #3 – Question Segment:  

Here are a few coping statements, do you agree or disagree?  Even if your answer is yes or no, please explain:

1. This situation of sitting on a fully packed train either makes you feel uncomfortable or unpleasant, but I can accept it?
2. Can I ride out the wave of anxiety, or do I feel like I need professional help now?
3. Do you practice coping skills? If so, what works best for you? 

 

Week #3 – Photo Prompt: What does this picture signify or evoke in you?  (Again, you can write however you see fit).

Now, remember to create a pingback on your own blog.  If you are having difficulties with pingbacks, copy your title and enter it in the comment section of this post.  

I sincerely look forward to your responses and remember, there are no right or wrong answers.  Plus, as a bonus, I will reblog whatever it is you submit, this way your blog gets more attention as well.  

Thank you in advance,

Beckie 🌻
