What’s something you’ve done this week your of accomplishing? Or what’s something your most proud of overcoming in your mental health journey?

My win was better recognizing when my anxiety is intensifying and groundhog myself and not being as hard on myself when for feeling anxious. My biggest accomplishment is not letting the misinformed, stigmatized views of others dictate how I relate to my mental health journey.

If anyone finds recognizing their progress challenging here’s an article I wrote on that topic.

Defining the way we relate to our mental health challenges, emotions, diagnoses, and obstacles is paramount in fostering resilience and growth.

By cultivating self-awareness, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and seeking support when needed, individuals can transform their relationship with their mental health challenges. Progress, then, becomes a reflection of one’s ability to navigate these challenges with resilience, compassion, and a sense of agency, highlighting the transformative power of the journey itself.

Book recommendations for attachment theory and codependency?? Or any thing that you can think of as any form of media that impacted you deeply ?

Recently come to my own conclusions on my personal attachment issues and I’m looking for books that helped people understand their own attachment style better! Preferably one that covers all types of the attachment types so I can learn about the people around me for the best possible outcome for relationships & my understanding of them.

I’m realizing I have codependent tendencies but only when I get in longterm relationships so it’s leaving me to rediscover myself again. Im open to all media, books,podcasts, videos and anything that might’ve personally helped you with attachment issues in the past! We don’t have to be healed fully to share because we are all healing and creating a secure attachment is a journey with ups and downs.

Anywho if you don’t have anything on this subject I love all forms of self help, or media/ books you found inspiring all these things are positive outlets I think about to keep myself busy when I’m not doing the best.

My fave book for inspiration is tuesdays with morrie- Mitch albloom a great book on perspective, appreciation of life no matter the circumstances.

When I’m slipping I re read this one it’s great for gratitude and for me it reminds me to stay mindful.

Have a blessed week everyone and stay healthy and safe. Much love chluha. #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #MentalHealth #EBooks #Addiction

As a former facilitator I’ve noticed games are a great way to both connection and community, they’re also great for our mental health.

Feeling connected to others is more than a pleasant experience—it significantly impacts our mental health, physical well-being, and overall life satisfaction. Recent research sheds light on how human connection contributes to our overall wellness. Whether through heart-to-heart conversations, shared laughter, or cooperative gameplay, these moments of connection play a vital role in our lives.

Heart-to-heart conversations are key moments of emotional intimacy. When one person opens up about something personal, vulnerable, or emotional, and another responds with understanding, acceptance, and care, it creates a powerful bond. These exchanges enhance our mental health by providing emotional support and a sense of belonging.

Video games, often seen as mere entertainment, can promote mental well-being. Games like “Minecraft” and “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” foster social connectedness and reduce feelings of loneliness. When we play together, whether in person or online, we engage in shared experiences, teamwork, and communication. These interactions boost our mood, reduce stress, and create a sense of camaraderie

Traditional and card games also contribute to our mental health. They encourage healthy interactions, strategic thinking, and social bonding. Whether it’s a competitive game of Monopoly or a collaborative round of Scrabble, these activities provide an opportunity to connect with others while having fun.

Improving Cognitive Skills: Games challenge our cognitive abilities, promoting skills like planning, organization, and memory. Whether we’re strategizing in chess or solving puzzles, these mental exercises positively impact our overall well-being.

Games whether digital or analog—have the power to improve our mental health and strengthen our connections with others. So, the next time you gather around a game table or pick up a controller, remember that you’re not just playing; you’re investing in your well-being and building meaningful relationships
