Remember

Progress is different for everyone because each person has unique circumstances, goals, and challenges. Factors such as individual experiences, resources, and personal values. These things shape the way progress is defined and achieved. This diversity means that comparing one’s progress to another’s can be misleading and unfair. It’s important to recognize that each journey is personal, and people's varied paths contribute to a richer, more diverse society.

Accepting and valuing these differences fosters empathy and understanding, allowing everyone to celebrate their and others’ successes, no matter how distinct they may be. As a personal example, I used to base my progress on others and set extremely unrealistic standards and goals for myself, and I just ended up feeling frustrated. Still, now I base it on my progress, and I’m more compassionate with myself and patient. #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #Anxiety #MentalHealth #Depression #RepetitiveMotionDisorders #coping

Remember

I used to discuss with clients how to transition from letting things and people define me in my journey. For instance, I struggled with discussing my mental health and challenges, feeling as though they controlled me because I stigmatized myself. So, each day, I asked myself what small action I could take to define my journey. I sought support only from qualified individuals, eventually empowering me to avoid being defined by others’ unhelpful and problematic beliefs and opinions.

Remember, it’s not about achieving perfection immediately. It’s about taking small steps to realize your potential, and that’s empowering too. Remember you got this even on your hardest days and that reaching out for help processing and going through challenging moments is more a sign of strength.

Also, it is not about not having those moments or challenging thoughts or memories that define progress. It’s about how you relate, define, process and acknowledge them because sometimes our biggest milestones and progress are the things that are unseen in our journey that we don’t realize are progress. #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #BipolarDisorder #AnorexiaNervosa #Anxiety #Depression #LearningDisabilities #SubstanceUseDisorders #Neurodiversity

As a person who has struggled and been underestimated for most of their life, like most ADHD-ers, I have to say one of the most frustrating aspects of ADHD is dealing with people's misconceptions. Being that it is 2024, it is about time people see ADHD for what it is: a complex medical condition; it is about more than losing your phone or being forgetful. ADHD is not some fad or excuse, and if you think that is all it is, you are wrong. Those examples are just one aspect of what it is like living with this complex health condition. How can you and others better understand it? Remember the following points.

It’s been awhile since I wrote about ADHD :)

I miss writing about ADHD :) so I entered a BuzzFeed writing contest and wrote about the things I’d like everyone to know about ADHD. If anyone wants to read it :)

Mastering the Three C's of CBT: Catch it, Check it, and Change it

One of my favourite tools to use for gaining an understanding our challenging thoughts & feelings

The 3 Cs (Catch, Check, Change) offer a powerful strategy for reframing negative thoughts and emotions.

First, Catch yourself in the act of negative thinking. Notice the self-talk and the feelings it evokes.

Then Check the validity of your thoughts. Are they rooted in reality or are they distorted?

Finally, Change your perspective by challenging negativity with more balanced and empowering thoughts.

By acknowledging and validating your feelings throughout this process, you can navigate challenges with greater self-compassion and resilience.

Simple Ways to Empower Ourselves to Define Our Mental Health Journey

Conquer Your Mind 2mo

Hey everyone here’s something I wrote defining our mental health journey. And how’s everyone doing today?

Defining your mental health journey is crucial as it provides a clear framework for understanding your experiences, setting realistic goals, and tracking progress. This self-awareness fosters personal growth, resilience, and the ability to seek appropriate support, ultimately enhancing overall well-being.

As a personal example, one way I defined my mental health journey is by not letting other people find where I go for support or whether or not they take medication, even though I do take medication. What’s a something you do or something, you would like to work on in order to find your mental health journey?

May 24th, 2024 Review + Thoughts

Yesterday was so much, so today had to be a bit small in terms of what I could do; energy levels being low and all.

I slept in a lot, feeling exhausted so I didn’t get up until really late but I did manage to get up from bed and take my medication.

Today was quiet; not much happened but writing a little.

Stomach hurt some.

I can’t really recall anything else worth mentioning that isn’t a blurry haze besides feeling out of breath randomly again even though I was just sitting and having this annoying ringing in my left ear.

That isn’t that uncommon for me as my ears ring occasionally mostly in my left but sometimes both and rarely only in my right.

On a different note,
I can make some paintings now as I can afford the supplies!

Really looking forward to painting! 🦋
