Heal Song by Tom Odell

I have had this song on repeat this week. I hope you listen to it free on YouTube or however, but a video with the lyrics is even more helpful.
I hope these lyrics with his voice on this particular song helps wash away some of your pain too.
Try consciously breathing in an out while you listen to his resounding lyrics:

Take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And take my past
And take my sins
Like an empty sail takes the wind
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last

And take a heart
And take a hand
Like an ocean takes the dirty sand
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal, heal, heal, heal

And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last

#BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MajorDepression #SocialAnxiety #PTSD Day 2.

I'm on my way, yesterday was actually a good day. I was impressed by the company and was able to talk to some people there ( Introvert here) .
I got home and talked to my daughter about everything, she was very happy for me. I'm hopeful and I'm really trying to be thankful for everything good that has come to my life.
*To the ones that have texted me, I'm from El Salvador, so there's a time difference, I don't mean to be rude towards anyone here*
Thank you all for your love and support.

#PTSD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MajorDepression #SocialAnxiety #MightyTogether First day, on my way to my new job.

People say that I had my Britney moment when I shaved my head. This is the 1st time since March that I go out without a hat. I'm optimistic, and hopeful. I think I will be ok again. I'm not worried about my looks, just to start working and paying things on my own. I know things won't be easy all the time. But, hey! I got out of bed and that's one step.
Thank you for reading.

#PTSD #MajorDepression #SocialAnxiety #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder I have a job interview tomorrow

These days have been weird, I'm ok and then I'm not. I need and want to work to be more independent. But I 've been dragging this feeling of not leaving my house. I feel terrible, and I'm looking for excuses not to go out tomorrow, then again I will cry because I don't have a job or financial freedom. I know that I am sabotaging myself, I'm totally aware of what I do. I just don't know how to stop it
. *UPDATE* I was able to get a job, I start tomorrow, I'm excited and very hopeful about this new experience. #Update #Newjob #MightyTogether

Not my best day. #migrain #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MajorDepression #SocialAnxiety #PTSD #Diabetes #HighBloodPressure

I went to the doctor today, needed a refill for insulin and my high blood pressure meds. There was a lady playing songs in the waiting room ( it was loud) (Central American Country) I was having a nasty headache since 3am and I asked her to turn it down, she didn't. I don't like confrontation so I left and decided to get there later. When I came home my ex husband had left a note asking where I was ( I get triggered really fast) I tell him on a text that is not his problem. Things escalated so quickly that he called and we started arguing, he suddenly says I have no time for this and blocks me. Then I'm in my bedroom crying with this nasty headache and trying to understand what just happened????? Out of the blue, he sends food, unblocks me and says I'm sorry. I wish, I could finalize my divorce and leave, I have to wait for my daughter to turn 18 so I can have the process done for free since I'm unemployed. Today has been a mess.

Desperate #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MajorDepression #SocialAnxiety

Hi, it's me again. I'm job hunting right now. It's hard because of my BPD there are little to none places that would hire me because of my work history (inability to hold a job) I set up new daily goals for myself. Not reaching out for my dad, reading and taking care of myself. Not drinking soft drinks and stuff like that.
I get desperate because I don't want to ask my ex husband for money or support.
I hope I can find a job so I can be more independent and enjoy quality time with my daughter and my dogs.
BTW I don't drink or smoke, it's just that I cry a lot and tend to run away when I'm overwhelmed (Working on it) Thank you for reading my updates.

New here and not so new #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MajorDepression #SocialAnxiety

Hi! I posted some days ago, about my bad relationship with food and being unemployed. I'm 43 years old, from El Salvador. Started to see a psychiatrist after I was physically abused by my ex husband to be, I filled a restraining order and he cannot get close to me anymore.
My country is in diapers regarding mental health, I got fired from a company because I had appointments and panic attacks. I can't find anyone to talk to besides my daughter who also has OCD, depression and anxiety. But I don't think it's fair for her to be listening to me crying or getting too emotional, so I hope if I can vent here from time to time, things will get better. (English is not my 1st language, sorry for the mistakes)

HELLO!

I’m an Asian woman, 54, living on the west coast. I have BPD, Bipolar/schitzoeffective, anxiety disorder, maj depression and now I find out ADHD/autism. I’m dealing with a lot and it’s overwhelming. I’ve been melting down and I think this is me acknowledging my neurodivergence. I’m confused and feel empty a lot and my friends are few and the ones I have are starting to yell at me for not doing stuff right and I can’t be abused anymore. I lived that way for 50 years. It’s enough. Please reach out. Love to meet some of you.

THIS WORLD NEEDS YOU.

“The one thing that you have that nobody else has is YOU. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write, and draw, and build, and play, and dance, and live as only you can.”
