Hiii everybody. 👋😁
Just wanted to pop in and see how you're all doing. Pls know that if u need a friend or a non biased shoulder to lean on I'm here for you. If you need encouragement or a friendly reminder to take your meds, I'm here for you.
I also take meds to help with my mental health and well-being, it is what it is. I do it consistently everyday and in the end it's what's best for me because I have a much better quality of life than I once did. I was like so many people, going through life undiagnosed, frustrated and feeling overwhelmed and confused not understanding what was wrong with me. It's ok that my brain is wired a bit differently, I deal with it responsibly and take accountability for my actions and mistakes. I'm only human after all its ok to make mistakes and we all to trip and fall along the way sometimes, its how we get back up from the fall that matters. One thing that comforts me is knowing bad days don't last forever, eventually the dark clouds pass and the sun returns and I feel my mind clear up and I can think straight again.
The thing is our over all attitude about life is what will lead to peace or to war with one's self and by extension others. Also our lack of self awareness and lack of discipline over ourselves is what makes us our own greatest enemy. We give in too easily to our emotions and desires, we hold onto false ideologies that in the end hurt us more than help us. Constantly stressing ourselves over things we can't control leads to constant tension in our mind and body which amplifies the symptoms of said mental illness and can lead to aggression or apathy. We must learn coping skills, to self sooth and calm ourselves when we feel like we may explode from over stimulation or we end up lashing out at the world and life becomes all the more difficult. As if we need more problems when our mental health causes enough of it's own.
Life has it's share of pain and suffering but it also have its beautiful moments. No one ever said growth was going to be easy but it is necessary to having a more balanced life that isn't constantly falling apart due to short sighted choices and chasing pleasure over self discipline and patience.
