One of the biggest lessons I learned in my mental health journey is healing is unique for everyone due to personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, and individual needs. Each person’s path through trauma or illness is shaped by their history, coping mechanisms, and support systems. This diversity highlights the need for personalized mental health and medical care, fostering inclusivity and empowering individuals to find methods that best suit their journey. #ADHD #MentalHealth #Addiction #anxiey #Depression #Neurodiversity

Overdid It

Yesterday, for the first time in weeks, my body, mental health, and the weather cooperated with me. My husband and I took a trip to my favorite beach for some shelling.

I meant to only go for an hour or so, but it was just so nice to be feeling good in one of my favorite places on earth. Three hours and almost six miles later, my pockets were full of new treasures.

As wonderful as yesterday was, I'm paying for it now. Everything hurts, from head to toe. I still need to get a better handle on pacing myself and taking it easy.

Today will be a rest day filled with heat packs, crochet, and video games. Despite the pain, I'm still so thankful for yesterday's magical outing.

ADHD Makes Everything Feel Like Work

*
Living in my ADHD-infused world feels like riding a rollercoaster designed by a mad scientist. Throw in a dash of complex PTSD, a sprinkle of severe anxiety, and a dollop of major depressive disorder, and you've got yourself a mental health carnival. It's not just a journey; it's a wild, unpredictable ride.Imagine attempting to tackle everyday tasks when your brain decides to play hide-and-seek with executive function. Chores become these epic sagas, and the to-do list looks like a novel you never signed up to write. Social interactions? Well, that's a carefully orchestrated dance of preparing for potential distraction-induced tangents.
ADHD, my dear friend, makes even the simplest things feel like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded.Now, let's talk about the "ADHD tax" – the extra costs I rack up because, let's face it, adulting is hard. Late fees? Check. Takeout instead of cooking? You bet. And don't even get me started on hiring someone to tackle the never-ending laundry mountain because, frankly, wrestling with a fitted sheet is an Olympic-level challenge.And then, like the plot twist in a quirky sitcom, enter PTSD, anxiety, and depression. It's like having the emotional equivalent of a petting zoo inside your head. Tasks that others breeze through become monumental achievements for me. It's not just navigating life; it's herding a bunch of emotional llamas through a maze.But hey, here's the kicker – acceptance. I've learned to embrace this chaotic circus. Sure, I might not be juggling balls; I'm juggling mental health conditions.
It's not about being a superhero; it's about being a badass for surviving this daily whirlwind.in this neurodivergent, mental health carnival, seeking support isn't a weakness; it's the golden ticket. Friends and family become the sidekicks in this wild adventure, helping me tackle the rollercoaster with a bit more swagger.So, here I am, riding the ADHD coaster with PTSD llamas, anxiety acrobats, and depression jugglers. It's not a sitcom; it's my life. And honestly, it's a hell of a show. #ADHDInGirls #Adulting #MentalHealth #anxiey

Hospital update 3 #Depression #anxiey #OpenHeartSurgery #PTSD #MentalHealth

Just a quick update. It’s been 3 days since the surgery . By all accounts it went well. One of he biggest challenges is getting the pain meds right. The doctors said the iv of drugs was making me too drowsy. Which I think is code for you were hallucinating about an apple juice alone, quite loudly it seems. The drug induced hallucinations have been very rugged. I am too weak to answer posts I am sorry,

Will I ever truly believe people?

My therapist has told me time and time again, reassured me constantly and is always reminding me that she’s there for me, she’s got my back, she’s not going anywhere and that she’s not mad at me but no matter how hard I try I cannot get that through my head and truly believe it. I constantly feel like a bother to her and need that reassurance that our relationship is ok and she’s not going anywhere. Will I ever truly be able to believe her. While my logical brain knows accepts and believes her I cannot get me emotional brain to. Will it ever? Any tips or tricks? #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #anxiey #Depression #MentalHealth
