I miss my life before I got this chronic illness.. I miss being able to actually enjoy things without feeling worse afterwards. I miss being able to do things without being scared of its consequences. Eating, shopping.. And above all; living. #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #Support #Grief

Just saw on my feed that I joined May 2023.
That means I've been on The Mighty for one whole year.
365 days.
And 52 weeks.
More than half of these weeks I've posted 4-5 times per week as part of my journey.
And what a journey it's turning out to be!
I am SO thankful that I have joined The Mighty.
It's been a game changer.
And a life changer.
SO thankful for all of you wonderful people that make this a mighty place!
I am learning so much for you.
You inspire me every day.
And you have supported me during ups and downs.
And I just want to say thank you!
You are MIGHTY!

This is a favorite quote.
It's so self-compassionate, I think.
As we work on ourselves, our healing, our journey it is easy to get caught up in the goals, the finish line.
But I find that it moves.
It transforms as I transform.
So waiting to be happy and content until you reach that point, until you're "finished" or "done", it's not a good option.
We don't want to hold our breath until then.
We need to try to enjoy the journey.
To recognize that we are indeed masterpieces
We don't have to work to become one - we are one by default.
And sometimes trying to accept this and know this can make being a work-in-progress a bit easier.

So today in individual therapy I brought up the most toxic relationship, I have in my life.
The relationship to my ex.
My boys dad.
I have avoided bringing it up because it is the biggest can of worms, I have.
But I also began to have a feeling, that I couldn't keep putting it off.
It has so monumental influences on my life.
And I was triggered.
So I did it.
Now I have some new things to try the next time he triggers me.
Which will probably be this afternoon, when he picks up the kids.
I need to ever so slowly but surely start to transform how he makes me feel.
No doubt, I will fail many times.
But as always: we get points for trying!!

I like to practice saying affirmations to myself like this one from Kate Allan’s “Thera-pets:” my body deserves real care and kindness and so do I. #MightyPets #MightyTogether #TheMighty #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #Support #Selflove #affirmations

In my mind so many things disqualify me from being lovable.
My story.
My diagnosis.
My body.
My challenges and struggles.
My failed relationships.
I have just recently, like last year, discovered how deep my self-loathing goes.
It's part of my PD diagnosis and my depression.
But it has also been ingrained by people who treated me like I was unlovable.
And not important.
Or valuable.
But this is not the truth I want for myself.
So I am working on turning it around.
It will take time.
Because it runs deep.
But that doesn't mean it can't be done!
We can ALL do hard things.
We do them each day!
Some say; choose your hard.
And I guess that is right sometimes.
I wish you the best week you can have!
