How it’s been going #Life #TheUpside #itsokaytobeokay

Well it has been a minute.

I just wanted to take some time to show myself and everyone on here that as time goes on it will get better.

I have a service dog now, his name is Hart. He has a temper and likes to snuggle. He does zoomies and plays like a young kid.

I have a two part time jobs now. One is detailing the other is at a scrap yard.

My FP and I are doing a lot better.

I am doing DBT and CBT independent counselling.

And I am on 250mg of Lamotrigine.

I haven’t had any major upsets in 5 months and I am 7 months and 16 days self harm free.

I hope everyone is staying strong and that the pandemic hasn’t made anything harder for you.

Remember to be kind with yourself, be patient, and to always love yourself.

I am NOT my depression/anxiety

How can I stop giving my anxiety/depression power over me? I’ve been doing some self reflecting and I find that I put myself down these holes so often and then wallow in self pity. I do recognize that these are only passing emotions or phases but I sometimes worry that I will put myself in a deep enough hole that I won’t be able to get myself out. Fortunately, in these past 10+ years I’ve been able to handle things and keep myself afloat. It just gets so tiring to be going through these cycles.

I get discouraged when...

Doctors or loved ones blame a physical ailment like a migraine or something like that on mental illness or me not taking care of my emotional well being. #Iamstrongenough #Itsnotallmental #Trying
