When i thought i was over it ...... #CheckInWithMe #Trauma #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Parenting #selfcare #Fibromyalgia

When you think you had gotten over a past trauma and those thoughts had been gone from your mind for a long time so you eventually thought you'd moved past it and were coping ......Only for today something to happen it and it has hit you like a truck going full speed!!!!You instantly go back to that specific point in you're life that you had tried so hard to overcome.You feel overwhelmed and overcome with so many different emotions.it actually physically takes your breath away while you feel sick with anxiety.You have been going through so much recently and some very challenging things yet this has completely knocked you, you're head is pounding hours after and the non stop overthinking is not helping.

This is something which completely caught me off guard today and has left me feeling physically and mentally exhausted......

What do you find most challenging about enforcing your boundaries? In what ways can you improve?

Once we’ve gotten over the hurdle of identifying a limit or need and setting a boundary in response to that need, what’s next?

Well, the next step is to continuously enforce that boundary in ways we feel are best. This step can definitely be challenging! Enforcing a boundary takes work. But not to fear! We are ultimately in control of our boundaries and can work on improving them any time we want.

Mighty staffer @xokat says that her biggest challenge in enforcing boundaries is her people-pleasing tendencies. Thanks to the unreliability of her health which in turn makes her feel guilty and like she has to “make it up” to others, she tends to overcompensate by allowing others to skirt what she needs. Which, at the end of the day, hurts her more than helps. But she’s working hard to center her needs and make decisions from there!

What about you?

You don't owe anyone anything ..... #MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #selfcare #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain

You don't owe anyone anything , if someone does not show the same respect you show them then that is on them . Sometimes we have to do what's right and what's best for us .We have to put ourselves first and that's ok.Don't ever feel wrong for putting yourself first , sometimes we have to do this in order to either protect ourselves or to grow as a person.

When I share my story, I need ______ from that person or audience.

Sharing your story can make you feel a lot of things — overwhelmed, intimidated, liberated, and/or rewarded depending on where you are in your health or recovery journey. It can also feel like all the adjectives above at once.

Everyone has different levels of comfort and needs in times of vulnerability, and both parties can benefit from the telling or receiving of what you have to say.

When you are sharing your story, what do you need from the person or audience that’s listening to you? What would help you to feel safe and comfortable?

Mighty staffer @xokat appreciates a judgement-free space and prefers when the other person/people don’t readily offer advice or suggestions right after she shares.

How does your health affect your relationships?

Having a mental health condition, chronic illness, and/or disability can affect your life in many different ways, including the relationships you have with the people in around you. From work connections, to building and maintaining friendships, familial relationships, or even dating — health can either strengthen or weaken bonds. It can even cause bonds to break.

What have your experiences been like? How does your health play a role?

What do you need from yourself today?

Let’s share a specific need we have for ourselves today! This need can be anything from pacing yourself through your to-do list to going outside for fresh air, setting aside some dedicated time for self-reflection, or taking a day off from work (or adulting!).

Mighty staffer @xokat says she needs the strength and energy to power through a few appointments/blood work in the afternoon.

Share yours with us in the comments below. ⬇️

TRUE or FALSE: I find it easy to honor my needs.

Happy Monday, Mighty family!

This week we’ll be reflecting on honoring our needs.

What exactly does that mean? Glad you asked! From our emotional to mental to physical health, we all have different ways we navigate the world around us. And since we’re people with varying experiences, the things we need in each of those buckets may look different.

There’s no shame at all in having needs, prioritizing them, and communicating those needs to the people or environments around us.

Do you feel it’s easy for you or is it something you’re working toward improving?

💡 P.S. It’s OK to reflect, act, and prioritize our needs for our well-being. In fact, it’s often necessary.

Is It Just Me?

I'm tired of being everyone's counselor.

I'm tired of being everyone's lover.

I'm tired of being everyone's confidant.

Who is my counselor? Lover? Confidant?

Who is the person who drops everything when I need them to listen?

to love me?

to know all my secrets?

Where is my pure happiness?

Where is my future security?

Maybe... it is only me.
