I feel extremely suffocated and anxious.. I feel like I can't breathe... I can't even calm myself.. Everything is going wrong.. I fell and got hurt.. A lot of things happened that just didn’t go well.. Then,I am having past memories and they are just haunting me.. I feel so bad.. Last night, I cried a lot.. Everything feels so traumatizing... I don’t know.... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe qq

Captured a seemingly insignificant, ephemeral moment. This tiny rainbow on cracked and stained concrete, surrounded by dead leaves and twigs. This perfect little magical blip that would not have been observed otherwise. A glimmer. I've not paid enough attention to the little things lately, and this reminded me of that today. It's not a very beautiful photo by most people's standards, but the contrast between the bright little rainbow and the mess it's projected onto is just so relatable, metaphorically speaking. Just wanted to share it.
How are you doing out there?

Hi, Mighties! ⭐
How can you prioritize self-care today? What do you need most from yourself right now?

Feel free to use the comments below to elaborate, share, and reflect about how you’re doing today. ✍️
Thirty days can feel like a lifetime
in the flattest, most borrowed moments.
Thirty days of fluorescent lights.
Thirty days of rules.
Thirty days of group.
Of check-ins.
Of charts and chairs and shared silence.
Thirty days of tracking
the ups and downs
and ups and downs
of sobriety.
But also—
thirty days of sobriety.
For the first time in decades,
I have thirty days.
That feels like a win.
A win with structure.
With rules.
With bubble wrap still on the corners.
But still—
Thirty days of being myself.
Thirty days of taking off the mask.
Thirty days of feeling all the feelings
instead of managing them.
Thirty days of softness.
Thirty days of falling in love.
The next thirty days are a little scary.
The re-entry.
The noise.
The choices.
The freedom that cuts both ways.
The possibilities—
good and bad—
waiting on the other side
of the doors I’m about to walk through.
But I don’t need to make
the next thirty days great.
I just need to make today great.
I just need to be myself.
To be honest.
To be loved.
To be light.
To make someone else’s day
a little better.
I have thirty days,
and I feel good.
I can lighten someone else’s load.
I can be of service.
I can build something that feels like community.
I can prioritize myself
without disappearing from the world.
I can do the hard work.
I can love.
I can be loved.
I have thirty days.
And today,
that is enough.

#Burnout is very real and I'm feeling it. I don't know how to properly ask for support because I'm usually very good at holding it together (masking as a woman with #Autism ), but I'm losing my grip a bit. #Caregiving is hard work, it's physically and emotionally demanding, and I'm so wore out that I'm now sick. This month alone I've experienced 2 deaths, one of which was a suicide, and being a support for others has not left much room for me to process everything that has happened. I have no sick time or vacation days, so I'm pretty much stuck right now. Considering therapy again before I fully collapse under the pressure. I don't want to burden anyone, I just needed a place to let this exist outside of myself for a moment. If you read this, thank you.
I hope you're doing ok out there.
Update: NAMI has a lot of free mental health resources for anyone in the US. You can search for support groups and other resources based on your county.

When it comes time to sit with yourself and think through whatever is on your mind — both the good and bad — it can be helpful to find a place that helps you center yourself and process your thoughts.
Whether it’s your bedroom, a walk (or roll!) in a nearby park, your local cafe, or a therapist’s office, where do you go when you need a moment to think and reflect?
