Healthy and happy looks good on you!
In one of my last blogs I touched basis on trauma issues. Today I would like to talk about ways that can help heal from truma and mental illnesses. Its not always easy for people to understand their feelings and trauma they might have, but once you dig deep into your thoughts and issues your experiencing you will start to see the change inside of you which might be easier to get the help you need.
Once I have overcome my thoughts and realized that I might need a little more help than I'm receiving now, I have been able to accomplish and see my goals changing in life.
I wake up everyday not wanting to be sad and miserable, theres so much life to live and I don't want to miss out anymore than I have. After going through a hard separation of 11 years, I was able to get into therapy and seek the help needed to be able to move forward in life. I was able to learn that i was in a abusive cycle with my partner. Since opening my ears, mind and eyes I wake up each day looking forward to my day and knowing that I'm able to accomplish anything that comes to me.
I have started to find myself and enjoy doing things that I want to do; painting, reading, drawing, singing, dancing, skin care. Things I lost sight in when I had mental illness holding me back. Every person is diffrent and it might not be as hard or easy to over come situations as it would someone else, try to remebem,er that. Because how you heal may not be the same as someone else. I once heard a quote that stuck with me "The magic you are looking for, is in the work you are avoiding!"
Now I'm able to start building different relationship rather thats with healthy family, past friends, or new friends. Im now able to maintain a healthy relationship with them as well, because I'm not always in my head or feeling like such a burden. It's okay to pick yourself before anyone else, it's a beautiful feeling to be able to love yourself. It's a beautiful feeling to be able to start to feel the relief and hope, you start t o see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Hello Mandi! I love the layout of your blog. Very welcoming. The title of this blog post definitely caught my attention. Coping mechanisms are very important for many different people and their issues.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so much about yourself! I commend you for not only realizing that you needed help, but for seeking help. In my own experience these decisions usually come during a low point in life and I am so glad to hear that you are taking control of your life and choosing to be happy! This was a very inspiring post!
