The HALT Acronym

The HALT Acronym

HALT is an acronym that represents the four states of being. They are hungry, angry, lonely, and tired. Not only that, but the HALT acronym is also a very helpful tool for people with mental health conditions and who are experiencing addiction because it serves as a reminder for them to ask themselves how they are doing regularly and address their basic physical and emotional needs to stay on track with their sobriety and overall wellbeing.

I remembered #avm #CPTSD #Addiction

I realized why some believed my issues were all mental health. Funny, once you, hear the https://narrative.From some, a https://breakdown.A complete https://break.Oh no she did something, it caught up to her.
😆 🤣 Nope, it turned into one, over the past two years though. Here is the real https://reason.My AVM.This, is why I am https://grateful.This is why I cry, fight, fly and https://fawn.This little ball of veins with enough pressure to https://blow.But instead, it bleeds microtiny little scratches through my sleeves if the veins, https://SAH.On top of no treatment, no medication absorption and a few other mutations, that give me https://trouble.No arguementative cycles or disregulations.
That was all https://reactive.But this is the reason, 5 years https://ago.And every day,week, month year, I am https://grateful.Never question someones health struggles, it could, happen to https://you.Never dismissed someones struggles and situation.Ecspecially, if you heard it third https://party.I am aware and https://good.Take care, because Im taking care of https://mine.Stay in your lane, be kind and be grateful to have life.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is WitheredWhisper. I'm here because im reaching out here because im struggling a lot and feeling very alone with it right now. I've been dealing with depression, trauma, an eating disorder, suicidal toughts and attempts and substance addiction for a long time now, and some days it just feels overwhelming to keep going. most of the time I hide what im going through from people around me, which makes me feel even more isolated. sometimes it feels like im stuck between wanting help and not wanting to let go of the few ways I have left to cope, even if they're not healthy. I keep asking myself who I am without all this, and honestly, that idea scares me. I would really appreciate hearing Fromm anyone who recognizes themselves in this or parts of it. especially if you've struggled with feeling like you don't deserve support other than you're afraid to be honest because you could lose the only sense og belongning you have. and if anyone reading this needs soneone to talk to who won't judge and can really understand how hard things can get - I am here for you too. sometimes being there for each other can make a difference, even if its just a little bit. if anyone has advice or just wants to talk about how they get through the worst nights, id be grateful. thank you for reading. you're not alone either, even if it feels that way.

That is not okay.#avm #tbd#Addiction

To scare my child,into lying, is why I removed, him, that environment to begin https://with.Holding a secret and making the child,the scapegoat, is low. When my son, is wrong, he knows https://it.Putting him, in that position is https://wrong.Putting the mother, in that position is wrong.
I have every intent,on giving him all the grace, he https://deserves.He has watched and he, stood up, when someone didnt want to.
I was never, approached and I was never, to find https://out.We are not the same.
