I went bonkers...wrote crazy notes, got suicidal, spiraled down. In the old days, b4 5 years of VAMH, I'd be hospitalized. I used my coping skills

Just For Today

I’m trying to use my wise mind and recognize that yesterday is gone. There is nothing I can do to change the day however, I tend to beat myself up when I’m not able to leave my house due to the anxiety I struggle with. I know I can’t go back and change how much food I DIDN’T consume. I can’t keep punishing myself for the routine I carefully wrote down on a piece of paper that I never even looked at that sat on my table right beside me all day.

I can only say goodbye to the day and the skipped routine and meals. I can only try again tomorrow. I’m proud to say that I’ve been out 2 days in a row and I’ve eaten both days. I’m trying, just for today 💃🏼.

Just for today, I will celebrate the small victories, like brushing my teeth and leaving my house.

Just for today, I will do my best to eat enough to nourish my body.

Just for today I will practice kindness to others and myself. Actually self first!

Just for today, I will be grateful for a day that I did not sit and stare at a black tv screen for hours in isolation in my house that’s slowly becoming my prison.

Just for today ❤️
