Hey from Quebec !!! On my way to see my doctor. I have gained weight in the past 2 years in part to working nights, anxiety and side effects of meds in insight.
I’m anticipating comments about my weight gain 😔😔 I’m doing my best to breath and no stress about that #NeverGiveUp #realitycheck

I LOVE music. I love to sing (even tho I probably suck lol) and I love to dance. The only band tho that always uplifts me even when my mental illness is getting bad is 21 Pilots! Every song just makes me feel awesome and I know every word to every song! It comes on and i'm like yeah I'm alive! I'm broken and lost, but i'm beautifully alive! If you have never really dug into their music I highly suggest it :) But what about you guys? What do you guys like? :)
Hello there Mighty community. I finally found the courage to post here. I have been using email subscriptionsubscriptions and it has been going a long way.
But finally decided to download the app and I have never felt home❤ I have been so inspired by all of you amazingly strong human beings. I never feel like am going through it alone. I get to be with people who actually understand.
It's been a crazy ride for me. Not understanding why you are the way you are. My psychiatrist told me that I have been Bipolar and depressed ever since I was a young child. Looking back, everything makes sense,the mental breakdownbreakdowns, the nightmarenightmares, sleep walking every single night, the constant anxiety attacks even thinking that I had a heart problem (cause I was a kid) and no one took me to the doctor. Always being told i was possessed everytime I had a mental breakdown.
Now I am discovering myself all over again and it's a rather crazy process. So I decided to start a YouTube channel to help people like me and create awareness on mental illness and do away with the stigma in my country.

Proactively expressing gratitude is something I've always struggled with. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for a lot. Being a medical momma you learn to be grateful for the little things. But, I am horrible at taking a moment out of my hectic life to pause and think about things that I am grateful for.
As life has become more chaotic, I've noticed the importance of taking that pause. We are often pulled in a million different directions, in ways in which we would not spend our precious time. With this chaos comes stress, anxiety and a general feeling of overwhelm.
Take a pause in all that chaos and think of the little things throughout the day. The things that make you smile, that keeps you motivated. What made you laugh? What did you do well? What challenges did you over come? Where did you give yourself grace?
I challenge you to take a moment everyday to think about the little things and write them down! Either in notes on your phone, a small notebook on your bedside table or an app. But you must write it down! This part is important. How good will it feel to look back at all the things you're grateful for, especially on a hard day. You might even start to notice themes. Is there something in your life that brings you more joy than you realized? How can you start incorporating this into your life more often? Self-love without self-awareness is unproductive.

I randomly woke up at like 3 am hungry and now I’m just waiting to go back to sleep after taking care of that and a headache.
But something that I’ve been noticing a lot lately is how far I’ve come in my self awareness. My anxiety spiked for the first time when I was a junior in high school. I took such a scientific approach to it, that over the years my self awareness has seriously increased chunk by chunk. I recently, I’m preparation to go back to school and inevitably meet with my teachers, wrote out a little crash course to help me make meetings more productive. It was in that moment I realized how much I know now vs when I was a junior in high school. It’s honestly been the most fascinating thing to me.
It’s little things like that that make choosing to be open worth it for me 💚 #selfaware #AnxietyWarrior #MentalHealth
