A friend today told me to try and find one positive thing about myself today and to talk about it since I’m having a pretty rough brain day. So, here it is. This is the first time wearing jeans and a fitted tshirt in years that I’m not super self conscious about a muffin top or my belly pooch, because they’re slowly but surely going away. These jeans are on the verge of being too big and I forgot how much I really loved this owl tshirt when it fits how I want it too. I’ve lost 35 lbs. so far, and it hasn’t been easy the exercise has been a huge part of my mental health journey. Y'all, mental health is hard. Taking care of yourself is hard. There have been more days where I wish I didn’t wake up than days where I was ready to greet the day for the last year or so. I’m getting the help I need from multiple therapists, but that doesn’t mean that there is a fix. Major Depressive Disorder and General Anxiety Disorder are a lethal combination when you try to pretend that you’re ok. I am not OK and not sure when I will be but I hope that I will be eventually. That hope is what I have to cling too. Why am I oversharing? I’m hoping that if there’s someone reading this that is struggling, that they can see that there is hope, and that it is ok to ask for help. It’s not a bother to ask your friends and family for help when you need it. It’s not putting a burden on them, even though it feels like it and you will still constantly apologize for it (like I still do.) But just reach out, even if you don’t know what kind of help you need, let your friends offer it and use that as the proof that you MATTER. #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #youmatter #hopeguidesme #weightlossjourney #depressionsucks -- source link
