It’s been a long time I posted here.. It was due to my exam result.. Yeah,my final result.. And, I did graduated from my college and also with an impressive grade.. Yeah, I mean I didn’t even expect that the result would turn out so good. Cause my depression started for this and the whole year I passed having extreme anxiety and depression.. Cause I was in such stage where I was confused if I can actually sit for the exam or not.. If I look back my past posts here, I would see my fear,anxiety, depression, panic attacks and suicidal attempts and thoughts just because of this exam.. Cause it’s final exam and I had to do it cause I didn’t want to take a break.. I never did.. So,now I am thinking if I could see the 18 years old me, I would have told her that come on, it’s goona be okay.. Yeah, it would be.. You can do it.. I mean just for this, I had to tolerate so many things that I can't express.. I remember my exam was in the next day and I couldn’t even open my books.. I was listening from my friends that they have started before 3 days and here I wasn’t able to do it though the next day was my exam.. It was horrifying.. I still remember I was pulling that thin rubber band and then letting go of it.. It was very painful but that moment I didn’t feel any pain or something.. I still have that picture from that time when my hand was full of red marks due to it.. Also,not to mention, those days where at one point I wanted to give in but I didn’t.. I feel very very proud of myself for not giving up.. I was so insecure and my illnesses was also getting worse at that time.. I mean, diagonised with Major Depressive Disorder just before 2 months before my final exam was never easy.. Also to adjust with it’s medicines, it took me like a month.. And after this, there were just 15 days left for my exam... Oh, I still remember when I used to motivate myself. More likely convincing myself to go for the exams.. I was literally dying at that time.. Yeah, every day and every night I felt like I am dying.. I was not even okay during my exams days cause somehow MDD just made it worse.. So, what should I say.. I am at loss of words.. Also,having this grade was really surprising cause I know how hard it was for me.. Well, I always believed that life is unpredictable.. Yeah,completely... I mean if someone asked me that time, I would've probably cried and said I don’t know.. I am not sure😩.. It was a fight.. And I fought it.. It’s not like I am showing off and all. No, I am not.. Mighty and the mighties have been my part of this journey from the very beginning and that’s why I am sharing this.. You know what if someone asks me about that time, I choose my answer that I Couldn't.. No, it was never that I didn’t.. Rather It was always I couldn’t.. I feel these two things have a very significant meaning.. And, also a very impressive way to get over from your insecurity and the lack of self-confidence.. Also to stop the torture we do to ourselves when we didn’t do anything.. It’s an illness and we can't just skip it.. It’s a part of life.. And I choose to live with it.. I hope sharing my messed up story would help someone who has been going through something like this.. Cause I have faced the worst yet I choose to fight against it.. I just didn’t wanna give up no matter what.. One thing I always believed that people like us can live, can dream and can go for it.. We can cause we are the strongest ever.. Well, this would be my reminder that I am not goona give up and I would fight against the whole world for myself.. I would go for my dreams no matter what and everything.. Cause this illness can't just snitch our rights to live, to dream and to be happy... Dear 18, I did it.. Yes, I did.. And, I believe we all mighties can .. Cause we were always the champions and still we are.. Hope it can be a bit helpful for someone like me... Also,I am grateful to everyone here for being so supportive and amazing💝.. Thanks for being the part of this.. Love and support for everyone 💐💐💐.. #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #MajorDepressiveDisorder #self -appreciation #grateful #mighties

Everything can change in a moment .... ##COVID19 #longcovid #Anxiety #Depression #Insomnia #IfYouFeelHopeless #MentalHealth

My summer was just starting and there was so much too look forward too then .....
at end of June I was hospitalised due to having Covid Pneumonitis , I was in for three weeks .I was on the ventilator and was very nearly put on an induced coma as it was getting so severe.I was on fluid and steroid drips , I was on a catheter , I didn't see my children for over a month .
I thought that was the worst time of my life (which it was) although after I got released things continued , my symptoms carried on ,some days are even worse .I am on a large amount of medication which may be long term, I am in constant pain , everyday is an absolute struggle.Now I have been diagnosed with LONG COVID .Its caused sever breathing issues, I have a blood clot in my lungs and now it's causing damage to my nerve roots in my spine so I am on crutches also.
I was very fit and healthy before this even with all my other issues.Now I am a completely different person .My health is the worst its ever been .I have the symptoms every day that I had when I first was hospitalised. I am constantly in and out of hospital now ,my full life has been effected and changed.

I am an absolute shell of the person I was.
Not only physically has this drained me but mentally and emotionally also.

The doctors don't know what to do and are still learning about this which makes it even more frustrating .

I am very lucky and blessed to still be here and I know this as so many others haven't been so lucky , however i am finding it more difficult each day to see that as such a positive.

Another day ... #Anxiety #Depression #COVID19 #CheckInWithMe #mighties

So it's another day and another struggle , I am now on crutches as the long covid has caused issues there.I have severe nerve root damage in my spine along with the blood clot in my lungs and the other symptoms still are constant. I am feeling very frustrated and drained.

Would love to speak with anyone who has or knows someone with long covid ad feeling very alone and stuck right now ....

YOU MATTER ♡ #Anxiety #Depression #Selfcare #Selflove #youmatter #COVID19

Its soo important to take some time to yourself to just have some calm and reflection moments.

It's ironic as recently between hospital and isolation I have been alone alot but not really been able to have those proper moments where I can really just take some time out and try and refresh and feel OK not even good or great just OK is something I am happy to accept recently.

How are you all ?? What do you like to do when you need a few moments for yourself???

So very true ...... #Anxiety #Depression #alone #stressed #MentalHealth #mighties

This really has took me a little while longer to realise recently!I got into a habit of saying surely nothing else can happen ??? Or nothing else can go wrong ???? Over the past few months and I have been completely proved wrong !!

I am still struggling , I am trying to take each day as it comes and just deal with one thing at a time.
I am so fed up of feeling like all I do is complain and I am really trying to just not be too hard on myself .

BUT I am really finding it tough this time and not sure I can physically or mentally take any more :( !!!!

What’s with the constant DMs from strangers?

Today, for the first time, I have started to be bombarded with Direct Message requests for random men that I don’t know. One? Maybe coincidence or a mistake? But 4 DMs in less than two hours? That’s a bit suspicious if you ask me. I don’t open messages from people that I have never heard of before but I wouldn’t want any ‘genuine’ Mighties to be caught out by potential scammers. Especially when The Mighty community is supposed to be a safe place, where we Mighties can support each other and get support from one another without having to worry about people harassing us with inappropriate DMs. Stay safe Mighties, and be careful with random DM requests.
