Here’s a link to a blog I wrote about the difference between Mental Health and Mental Illness. People generally seem ignorant about the difference between them both, or at least they do here in England I’ve found, so I put together a short, concise and informative article to explain the differences.

I'm so exhausted. Every day I fight, every day my body works tirelessly to heal and recover. But I'm carrying such a heavy burden. I feel like my whole body feels tight, afraid, and constantly on guard for danger. Ever since my car crash and subsequent medical trauma I have felt afraid. I feel afraid of my own body. I'm on alert of signs that something is wrong all the time. What if I die? What if my accidentally break my healing bones? What if another emergency happens? The what ifs go on and on.
I hold myself so tight. I want to go back home, where I feel safe, but I have to stay with my sister because home isn't an emotionally safe place right now. I'm recovering from an ED and my sister who lives at home had weight loss surgery and there's no way I won't be exposed to "numbers" conversations (like about weight numbers) if I'm there. So I left to live with my other sister for a time.
I want to be in my mom's arms right now. I want to be told that I'm safe. It's been a month ago today since the car accident happened, and I know God saved my life for a purpose, but all I can think of right now is that my body feels like it's in danger all the time. I just want to be comforted, to feel safe again. I'm tired of living in a state of fight-or-flight. I'm tired of the nightmares. I'm tired of masking. I'm TIRED. I can't weather the storm all by myself! I need God! I need Jesus!
I need rest.

Have to vs Get To ❤️
This was one of the biggest and best mindset hacks I've ever learned.
Try switching your "have to's" with "get to's" and see what happens! #PTSD #MentalHealth #BipolarDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety #AnorexiaNervosa #Schizophrenia #ADHD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Lupus #Addiction #ChronicFatigueSyndrome

One of my adult sons just sent me this and I burst out crying because I can relate so much to every line myself.
My son and I are a lot alike. We both need other people in our lives to help us feel loved, validated and to recharge our emotional batteries. It is clearly a big ask for the people in our lives. We are not difficult or overly demanding, but we definitely struggle to feel secure and have inner peace. We think we were born into the wrong family because they find our chronic illness needs burdensome.
Honestly, probably anyone with chronic health problems, mental or physical, feels like a burden to their loved ones sometimes. I am here today to remind you that it is not your fault that you have this neverending challenge that requires extra support from others. Hear me? IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.
Sharing this beautiful paragraph brought my son and I closer, so I am giving it to all of you to use too.
Peace and Love.

Hi lovelies. I need some extra support right now because I'm going to be temporarily staying with my sister (who is only five minutes away from where I live) and I'm feeling anxious about it, because I'm still healing from a broken hip and my car accident that happened about a month ago. I'm staying with my sister because my other sister, whom I live with, just had gastric bypass and I'm in recovery from an eating disorder and didn't want it to trigger me. But changes are hard sometimes, and I need some comfort. I believe this decision is for the best, because I prayed for it and gave it to God, but I'm human and I'm going through a lot right now. Can I just have a virtual hug? 🤗

The other night, I was struggling with my emotions and my 9 year old daughter saw me cry. She immediately told me "Momma, it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel all of your feelings, they are all important ❣️"
This was a much needed reminder for me & I thought you could use it, too.
