Tip Tuesday- Your brain 🧠 always wants to keep you safe!

Sometimes, we think it's our mental health issues making us sad, right? But what if I told you that your brain always wants you to be safe? We have to look for the happiness around us, and fight for joy on days when it's hard. How can you look around you today for anything that will make you smile? Start with the little things and go from there. I'll meet you in the comments!

Not so new but new here.

👋 all I have been a part of the mighty since early 2017 when I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type 1 and Syringomylia. Rheumatoid, and hyper Thyroid issues run in the family along with other autoimmune disorders, dupitrins contractions and planter fashitis (pretty thats mispelked). We also have Mental health or personality disorders as well.

I didn't ever really come on here till now. After having my son in 2021 I developed severe postpartum depression. It eventually disappeared on its own kinda, it just lessened to depression.I was battleing addiction that had started because of my Chiari diagnosis and decompression surgery. In summer of 2022 i got clean and stayed clean. I went to a psychologist who was in the company of my rehab/general therapist. I was diagnosed with general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, bipolar, and having borderline personality disorder traits. I have recently VERY recently got away from trauma and abuse. I am almost 💯sure I have C-PTSD. Are there other forms of trauma bonding, abuse, PTSD out there what are common symptoms? I have something really weird going on and I dont even know how to really explain it . It i don't know if it's a symptoms concerning my Chiari and surgery site or if its a mental, psychological issue from the trauma. Any similar backgrounds out there? Even not general answers would be appreciated as well. Thnx everyone.

To All of The Mighty- In case someone hasn’t told you this already 💯🤩🦋🧘🏻‍♀️💪 This quote image is what I am saying to EACH of YOU.

🙌 Yes!!

Yep, I am Also your confidence booster!
&
Your cheerleader ( 📣 🙃🤭🙌🙌 another fun fact about me - I was the first freshman in my high school to make the Varsity football cheerleading squad And I Also was a cheerleading coach in high school for junior high school kids And I did all of that while also teaching dance and helping to run a dance school in high school too, while also continuing my own dance training daily because my first love since the age of 3 has always been the beautiful art of dance- or like one of my all time favorite Professional dance companies that I paid to see live in NYC was called- “Shaping Sound”.

Yeah, I Really miss those days of Energy.

These days, if I have any energy or let’s say the infrequent but still a huge gift of having more than a little energy, it’s funny in that I can recognize the immense difference in a blink of an eye.

Oh, yeah, and about the badass part of this quote image 👆
Not having energy and still doing all that I do, That is what makes me Badass, is how I look at it- after straightening out my Perspective and Reframing my Headspace.
And honestly without my onset of major depressive disorder at age 34 (I am now 52), I would never have really achieved Becoming Badass! And, I always admired Badass people of all kinds.

Always remember this whole hard thing called life and life transitions requires us to take on new, healthier Perspectives Always, And this is what I learned from the Headspace app is also called “Reframing” (best app in the world, at least when I used it daily in 2017 - 2019)

And I have specific, Large, photo album folders on my phone - 1 titled “Reframing Headspace” from my saved key takeaways from each Headspace course lesson I took (that Of Course I will be sharing with you in my group Resilience and Mindfulness) and I have another specific, Large, photo album folder titled “Perspectives” that Of Course I will be sharing with you in my group titled Resilience and Mindfulness)

To anyone seeing this post outside of my group - here is the direct link Resilience and Mindfulness and Join Us for So Much & because literally Everyone needs to learn both Resilience and Mindfulness (and, I don’t stop there with what goodies I share To Help YOU 😁🙃)

Resilience and Mindfulness | An Online Health Community

I am going to break down into pieces a lot of notes I have to share from Positive Psychology: Resilience Skills Course Audited -by University of Pennsylvania + More Supports For Wellbeing Some concepts I hope to add to your cognitive skills toolkit and vocabulary are: *Learning how to incorporate *resilience interventions*-*protective factors*, *cognitive strategies*, *develop mental agility*, increase positive emotion, *decrease anxiety*, and *take control of thinking traps*, and *learning the critical skill of optimism, as well as *taking a deeper dive into the cognitive skills and wellbeing mindset of mindfulness living. Resilience can help protect you from mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. Resilience also can help you deal with and be better prepared for other truly hard things in life. Research has also shown the effectiveness of mindfulness as an intervention in recurrent depression and there is so much more to this state of mind.

Knowledge leads to better Advocation

When I went through chemo+radiation for cancer, the after effects I was told could be temporary, are chronic.

I learned #Advocacy

I research my illnesses daily, because learning is constant.

Fresh Game

Hey to all~ I'm Jess. I'm here to find support. I'm Bipolar 2; Hypomanic and I also suffer from C-PTSD. {{C-PTSD is frequently comorbid with bipolar disorder (BD), and this overlap is strongly associated with an increased risk of suicide}}

I look forward to meeting others who can understand what I deal with everyday.##BipolarDisorder #MightyTogether #PTSD #Grief #ADHD #MoodDisorders #SuicidalThoughts #Hypomania
