I recently left a toxic and unhealthy friendship for me. I thought I'd be drowning in grief. While I do have moments of sadness, I actually feel so grateful. I feel such a strong sense of relief. I'm so thankful God has enabled me to leave the friendship. You have no idea how much better I feel for it.

Hi, Mighty fam! ✨
Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has been reflecting on her recent therapy session this week. She realized the emotion she’s been feeling the most is one she usually avoids — anger. It’s been difficult for her to fully feel it, let alone process it.
We’re curious to know: What emotions have you been feeling lately? How are you processing them right now? What’s been challenging for you?

Hi, Mighty fam! ⭐
We’ll be exploring and talking all about traditions this week. Let’s start with the basics.
A tradition is a set of practices, beliefs, thought patterns, or customs that have been handed down from generation to generation by an individual or group of people. Some traditions we may be familiar with are the celebration of birthdays or holidays, but they can also be cultural, societal, religious, community-created, health-related, or determined by a family or group of friends. Traditions help us to foster connection with one another and also transfer information or heritage through storytelling and shared history.
What is your favorite tradition? Why is that tradition important to you?
Let us know in the comments below. 🙂⬇️

Do you think I made the right decision? I ended a two year friendship with my friend (and ex), because I found it impossible to cope with him being in a relationship with someone else. The unrequited love I had for him and the jealousy I experienced, plus the feelings of unworthiness and stress of seeing him with someone else caused me a lot of depression and pain. I kept turning to addiction and eating disorder behaviors to cope. And then I thought to myself, "I don't want to deal with this." And decided to address the root cause of the pain, which was being around him. I felt like, well, it can only get more painful. I tried for a year to turn off my feelings for him (and couldn't), if his relationship goes any further I don't want to see it, and if I'm being really honest (though I'm working on this) I don't feel I can be happy for him. Chalk it up to my own failings or the BPD, but I'm working on that part with God. But either way, I decided to end it because being around him hurt, I couldn't see his relationship progress, it was leading me to self-destructive habits, my feelings for him were preventing me from having a healthy relationship of my own, and I kept beating myself up for being single while he's with someone else. We were also very codependent and emotionally enmeshed. Do you think I made the right choice?
