I feel so lonely with my disorder, I want some friends and don't be alone. I have a lot of knowledge of the disorder... maybe I can help other. I just want to help

I want to hear from YOU.

When I was going through my hell, I always wished I had someone I could open up to in hopes that they could help me. I would of gave my right arm for that. I want to offer my real life experience ( no college degree or textbooks) of what it took to overcome my isolation, severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and agoraphobia. But only YOU can take that first step,. Take a chance and reach out, I'm here for YOU, no judgement, just a desire to possibly help someone with something close to my heart, that's all.

Let it out ! #Depression #MentalHealth #AntisocialPersonalityDisorder #Agoraphobia #Loneliness #betrayal

Everyone has someone in their life to whom they wants to say a lot of things, let it be about their romantic feelings, revenge statements, irritating thoughts, current life situation etc. And circumstances don't let them do that and clearly let it out.

Therefore I am giving you this opportunity to say it to them and treat the comment section as the place to tell them everything you want to tell. Just let it out folks. Let it be unanimous followed by no judgements.

You can start by:
Dear XYZ,
I want to let you know that.......

To All of The Mighty- In case someone hasn’t told you this already 💯🤩🦋🧘🏻‍♀️💪 This quote image is what I am saying to EACH of YOU.

🙌 Yes!!

Yep, I am Also your confidence booster!
&
Your cheerleader ( 📣 🙃🤭🙌🙌 another fun fact about me - I was the first freshman in my high school to make the Varsity football cheerleading squad And I Also was a cheerleading coach in high school for junior high school kids And I did all of that while also teaching dance and helping to run a dance school in high school too, while also continuing my own dance training daily because my first love since the age of 3 has always been the beautiful art of dance- or like one of my all time favorite Professional dance companies that I paid to see live in NYC was called- “Shaping Sound”.

Yeah, I Really miss those days of Energy.

These days, if I have any energy or let’s say the infrequent but still a huge gift of having more than a little energy, it’s funny in that I can recognize the immense difference in a blink of an eye.

Oh, yeah, and about the badass part of this quote image 👆
Not having energy and still doing all that I do, That is what makes me Badass, is how I look at it- after straightening out my Perspective and Reframing my Headspace.
And honestly without my onset of major depressive disorder at age 34 (I am now 52), I would never have really achieved Becoming Badass! And, I always admired Badass people of all kinds.

Always remember this whole hard thing called life and life transitions requires us to take on new, healthier Perspectives Always, And this is what I learned from the Headspace app is also called “Reframing” (best app in the world, at least when I used it daily in 2017 - 2019)

And I have specific, Large, photo album folders on my phone - 1 titled “Reframing Headspace” from my saved key takeaways from each Headspace course lesson I took (that Of Course I will be sharing with you in my group Resilience and Mindfulness) and I have another specific, Large, photo album folder titled “Perspectives” that Of Course I will be sharing with you in my group titled Resilience and Mindfulness)

To anyone seeing this post outside of my group - here is the direct link Resilience and Mindfulness and Join Us for So Much & because literally Everyone needs to learn both Resilience and Mindfulness (and, I don’t stop there with what goodies I share To Help YOU 😁🙃)

Resilience and Mindfulness | An Online Health Community

I am going to break down into pieces a lot of notes I have to share from Positive Psychology: Resilience Skills Course Audited -by University of Pennsylvania + More Supports For Wellbeing Some concepts I hope to add to your cognitive skills toolkit and vocabulary are: *Learning how to incorporate *resilience interventions*-*protective factors*, *cognitive strategies*, *develop mental agility*, increase positive emotion, *decrease anxiety*, and *take control of thinking traps*, and *learning the critical skill of optimism, as well as *taking a deeper dive into the cognitive skills and wellbeing mindset of mindfulness living. Resilience can help protect you from mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. Resilience also can help you deal with and be better prepared for other truly hard things in life. Research has also shown the effectiveness of mindfulness as an intervention in recurrent depression and there is so much more to this state of mind.
