We are not professionals in the mental health field, nor do we pretend to be. We're just people with the passion and drive to help others.

If you have emotional/mental problems, we highly recommend professional counseling/therapy. Your family doctor is a great medium for access to these services.

However, we recognize that this is not always a viable option for individuals. Sometime it is either not easy to ask help in your personal life, or you are trying to protect others.

We are here simply to answer what questions we can in regards to relationships, depression, emotional strife, loneliness and more. Feel free to leave constructive comments and follow the blog for a daily optimistic/feel-good image/quote to help brighten your day.

Rap isn’t for everyone. Neither is the strong religious undertones from this song.

However, it has a very strong message about depression and suicide. Definitely worth a listen

“It gets better.”

“There’s a girl in the corner 
With tear stains on her eyes 
From the places she’s wandered 
And the shame she can’t hide 

She says, “How did I get here? 
I’m not who I once was. 
And I’m crippled by the fear 
That I’ve fallen too far to love” 

But don’t you know who you are, 
What’s been done for you? 
Yeah don’t you know who you are? 

You are more than the choices that you’ve made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create…”

Hey folks!

First of all, thanks for tuning in to the Radio. A this point, we’re very much just getting started, so we’re still in a very youthful phase in terms of the radio. However, with advertisements well on the way, and each week coming to a close, we’re nearing a very important milestone.

For those of you new to our project, you may not realize that while this is our first official week as Pregnant Stallion Radio, it is not, in fact, our first week as a Radio, or as a team at all. The team was actually hosted on an MLP imageboard as an ‘official radio’, before leaving and becoming what we are now.

The Meadow

“Why don’t we go for a walk? I know a great place where we can sit and talk…”

“That would be nice.” Lilly agreed, rising from the table as her teacher did the same. She was momentarily being led out a door on the back wall of the kitchen and into the vibrant yard outside. The first thing she noticed was the variable sea of colour as a result of the combination of the diverse garden and the calm forest which sat on the edge. Across the garden and onto a small, worn path was where they traversed, and before long they emerged into a quaint little meadow. A steady breeze wound its way through the tall grass and through the fur of the two ponies that walked amongst it.

The sun had begun to make its descent. The sky was a shadowy blue, littered with the voices of a million stars. The passion of each and every one lit up the meadow with a dim haze.

In the center of the meadow sat a single tree. Oak, larger than any in the forest around it. Yet in this one plant sat the stories of a thousand lives, intertwined into its gnarled bark like the age that defined it. Eternity had created it, and like the sun it had probably always been there, a testament to the time which passed it each day.

So I suppose it’s been a long time…

…since a real post that wasn’t linking to Shade’s wonderful pony art or a link to the recent episode of MLPCRadio. Is it time to rectify that?

First of all, there is a new episode of the Radio. I recommend you check out on our official YouTube!

Secondly, I apologize for the nature of a previous post some weeks back. If you’ve been keeping up, you’ll understand which one.

I left MLPCRadio with the intention of taking a step back from alot of stress, due to a number of shattering realizations. Admittedly  my initial reaction was not exactly one that was done with a level head. I did something very irrational, and it was inappropriate of me.

Sometimes, though, we just need to follow an instinct. In my case, it was to take a break and just leave. There was a lot of things that happened because of that decision, but I regret none of it. What happened to be done had to be done, despite the fact that it was a terrible way of doing it. 

Friends were worried, MLPCRadio stopped altogether, and I admittedly fell into a slump of self-pity that led to one miserable, tear-filled night. It felt like things had toppled down on my head. After pulling myself back up, I looked at the world, what I was doing to myself, and the whole scenario, and just walked on. Isn’t it easier to deal with our problems rather than hide them, and figure things out so that we can carry on? And while it may not have been my intention to worry so many people, I had a lot of good friends to support me in that slump, and they wouldn’t of known had I not said anything.

My point is, when we fall into misery, when the whole world just slows for us while we wallow in pity, grief, anxiety, and a whole plethora of words that surround the theme of the same feelings, isn’t it better when we have someone to talk to? Friends to stay beside us and say ‘You’re better than this. I believe in you. Don’t give up!” To often when emotion takes the best of us, we try to hide it and do things on our own. This saddens me, because it doesn’t have to be that way! This world is full of wonderful, spirited people that will be right there by your side. So why struggle alone? Honestly, ask yourself. Why do it alone?

As always, questions are accepted and greatly encourage. We will answer them on air Sunday Nights at 10pm EST on http://www.livestream.com/sarfmoviechannel
