sometimes you need to whatever yourself through the beggining of your recovery.

I've been talking to my therapist about recovery lately, here are some thoughts.

i had to face a challenge today:

I've got a choice. I send the message to this nutritionist and begin my recovery or i say 'fuck it' because i know it will stay the same.

Then, suddenly, something clicked: people usually tell you that you've got to be ready or you gotta want to be better to start your recovery.

But the thing is: i think this is some sort of lie. That's why so many people can't relate and feel hopeless. Because when you hit rock bottom, you don't want to get better. Because getting better means getting out of this horrifying "comfort zone" bubble your brain has created. Anything outside your daily horror will sound uninteresting and maybe scary to your brain. We do it unconsciously.

I thought about it. I didn't want to fucking message the nutritionist.

I tried to not overthink it and quickly sent the message. I thought to myself whatever.

I didn't want to do it. But i did it. Baby steps.

random mental health recovery tips cause why not

Keeping a diary of ur mood, energy levels etc (whatever it is that you would like to improve) and ALSO looking at how it coincides with ur menstural cycle if you have one, and also any events in ur life THIS WAY you can track patterns of ur mood and notice what helps and what doesnt etc

create/ designate safe spaces if you can- for example if you go to work and need to be alone and safe where will you go? designate spaces eg the toilet or outside. for example at school i have designated this very empty outdoor space for me thats always empty and has fresh air. in my old school I had designated a specific toilet that felt calming to me idk ADDITIONALLY if you have your own room or any spaces that are completely your own then do what you can to make that space feel calming and safe to you- if not find other areas that you can go to when you need a safe space and need to be calm and alone- for me I have a lot of outdoor spaces like isolated parts of parks and whatnot

panic ritual: this one is a random one but it helps me a lot- i have a list of 3-5 activities to do whenever I panic like a little ritual. this deffo doesnt work if ur having a panic attack but if ur just worrying and overthinking and feeling anxious its a good way to get ur mind off of things and get you doing something else. for example for me if i am at home i do some skincare and then i get some fruit or veg and chop them into tiny pieces which calms me down a lot and then i sit down and watch a comfort tv show or movie while I eat the tiny fruits- or I make a hot choc depends what I have in the fridge.

setting small goals in random stuff: for example setting goals in things outside of your paid work or academics- things that you are not at all required to be good at, for example fitness goals (such as run a 5k) or musical instrument goals like learning a new song on guitar or learning a new language for fun of picking up a new hobby like painting or knitting.- this generally increases ur confidence and makes you feel more capable when you achieve these goals but even if you dont achieve them, they dont matter a lot to your career so its not vital that you achieve them

protein- i never eat enough protein or even know how much of it i should eat so after some research you should basically eat your weight in kg multiplies by 0.75 and that should be how many grams you should eat daily- for example if you weigh 50kg you should eat roughly around 37.5g of protein per day. it gives you energy and stuff so its cool i guesss ALTHOUGH IF YOU DONT FEEL COMFY TRACKING THAT PLEASE DONT, THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION ROUGHLY PLS DONT COUNT MACROS IF YOU DONT FEEL COMFY WITH IT

actually communicate with your loved ones and support systems, it can be scary but it is always so so helpful

THAT IS ALL I HAVE TODAY WOOHOO lets hope i follow my fucking advice for once and fix my mental health

Something I have noticed since recovery is that happiness feels different.

Before recovery. I thought I had a body that would make me happy (and the truth is it did sometimes).

But now,as I sit in my healing body, happiness is a very different thing. Yes, I am a larger dress side, but I am also just sitting here in bed thinking about how much I love my friends after we went out for a meal together. I also really enjoyed the weather today, and I love the movie I am watching. Just all these sparks of happiness keep happening, and they all feel so rich and bright and stay with me.

It’s made me realise that the happiness I felt in my old body was dull. It was just flickers that never lasted long.

It’s like having a healthy, strong body is what’s needed to store your happiness properly.

⚠️ Vent Post Warning ⚠️

Does all this talk about mental health/and feelings make anyone else uncomfortable? Like it's become so normalized that I in turn feel like I'm overeacting to how much I'm still struggling with mine.It makes me feel like I'm behind in my own recovery.And so I try to push myself to get better faster.But then I get burned out and relapse or give up.And then I get swerslide thoughts that I'm so broken I can't get better.Or because I'm not ready to share with anybody I'm not trying hard enough.Or maybe it's just me that feels this way is there anyone out there like me 💔💔💔

Teaching children thinking bad thoughts about someone is the same thing as murdering that person is fucked up.

Thought crime doesn’t exist. No one has ever been harmed or killed by someone thinking negative thoughts about them.

You know what has harmed people though? Teaching them they are evil for things they can’t control. Especially those who have intrusive thoughts.

Here’s for everyone who has been taught their thoughts make them evil.

Intrusive thoughts are not your secret desires.

They are involuntary.

You don’t need to be ashamed of them.

They will pass.

You are not committing taboo.

No one can read your mind.

No one will ever know what’s in your thoughts unless you feel like telling them.

No one can judge you for what you are thinking, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

Your thoughts are private

You are not a bad person.

You deserve a warm life, a cozy life, a life free of pain and full of people who genuinely care. A world where, when you experience pain, people are still there for you. You will find a soft future. It will be a slow process, full of missteps and fumbling, but someday you will look around and realize that you were right to keep on going.

today i went to a cafe all by myself.

For my entire life i haven't been able to go out by myself. I always needed someone to go out with me. Alone time wasn't a possibility in my mind, like, i never thought about it.

Until my therapist asked me if i ever thought that people liked alone time because they like their own company and i answered "no" way too quickly.

I would have meltdowns if my partner couldn't/didn't want to go out with me. I would feel bored until i was nearly raging but i would not go out because i had no one to go with me.

What if someone stared? What if someone made fun of me? What if something bad happened? How would i react? When i'm out in public everyone will be laughing at me and i don't wanna be made fun of...

That's the script whenever i'm out in public, worse if i'm by myself.

Besides everything, I've been making progress, and today, i was burnt out from work and really needed a break. I thought about invinting my partner for a coffee but for the first time ever i though "oh. I can just go out." i managed to actually want to try that. I tried not to make a big deal out of it and left with my book.

I arrived at the place, really quiet and just a few people I took a deep breath and chose the nicest place to sit, in the middle of an open space, absolutely gorgeous. The con was: this place was in the center of the cafe. Everyone could see me. But i took a deep breath an as soon as i started to think everyone's staring i quickly glanced around and noticed absolutely no one even bothered to aknowledge i was there. The waitress was nice. I managed to read my book. No disturbing thoughts came to my mind.

For once. Two decades of horror were silenced for 20 minutes. All by myself.

I think freedom has many shapes and forms, today, freedom looked like this to me:

No, you aren't "behind in life".

But, it's okay to grieve the time you spent surviving. The time spent trying to figure out what was wrong. The time spent healing to become a person again.

It wasn't your fault.

love clinical social work but i feel an inner discomfort about it...i think id struggle with how id incorporate “transformative SW stuff” into it (calling it that for now) n would miss that part of it all n it would feel incomplete, but thats why i was working towards getting my psych minor... but also think macro social work (influencing: politics, community SW, Policy Work) is so important.... do i need career counselling? i have moments where i feel deeply lost n confused but i feel this is so core to who i am also..
