    Acknowledging my past

    I hate remembering that I’ve gone through 3 different long term almost-relationships - all held back because I’m “too good” or they’re afraid they'll mess it up - and apparently I’m some precious cargo that has tested out of their league, when the only reason I tried so hard was to be good...

    Acknowledging my past

    I’m feeling a little sick to my stomach Just upset after seeing R again today, we hung out with our larger group again. I wish she’d leave me alone. I haven’t texted her to put some space between us for myself - but she picks on me just to get a response out of me when we’re in person. Most...

    Triggers

    Based on the earlier definition of stressors vs triggers - Stressors are very broad for me, certain smells, unexpected physical contact with someone, cold attitudes, events, etc. I honestly can only think of one trigger right now, and that is a video game of all things. Thinking of it is fine...

    Feeling trapped with where I am in life

    Hopefully this helps, I felt incredibly trapped 5 years ago as well. I had no stable housing, no career opportunities, no close friends who knew what I was struggling through and no family I felt safe to rely on. It was a gradual change, but if myself back then could see me today - they would be...

    Acknowledging my past

    I washed my hair 🙌 I always feel better across the board once I've done a refresh with my hair - it takes a lot for me to get over the mental block of doing my hair. It's always the last thing I want to do and the longer I put it off the worse I feel, but once I'm done and happy with it - I feel...

    Acknowledging my past

    This site just might save me. I can’t quite explain it now - but it’s helping me progress in a way I haven’t felt before. So far my week has been productive - the excitement of becoming an official employee and the benefits and raise it comes with is finally starting to kick in. I’ve really...

    Who was your hero today?

    My aunt - checked my mail for the first time in a while and realized she had sent me a belated graduation card and gift card for my associate’s degree, she wrote a lovely note for me as well. When she says she’s proud of me I take it to heart, she was my best mother figure and I’ll always love...

    Acknowledging my past

    Anyway, I think I was trying to get the following point yesterday : When I have bad 'flare-ups' of symptoms (depression, mood swings, flashbacks, sleep issues, isolation, etc.) like right now - I subconsciously try to throw my old coping skills at it, but that ends up going against my newly...

    What did you clean last?

    Did a few loads of laundry, deep-cleaned the bathroom, and living room. Vacuumed the guest room, cleaned the litter boxes and took out the recycling finally. Had a surprise day to myself - didn't realize I had off for the holiday so I was able to get a lot done around the house.

    Acknowledging my past

    I think I went through all of my childhood looking for a safe space and being stuck in survival mode. My old therapist told me once that my experiences paralleled those raised by parents battling addiction, which was impressive to her considering they had no such serious issues and they still...
