this is a YouTube link I listen to thru ear buds, have found many to listen to thru the healing process, while using lavender essential oils for relaxation. I hope you can just click on it, not sure how this all works, but trying to figure it out to share in hopes to help other who suffer such deep debilitating self sabotaging depression, anxiety,suicidal thoughts and now trauma and ptsd
Along with my prayer life and great Faith. I have struggled to overcome years, 50 + to be a caregiver for my traumatically injured son. I have had to learn knew habits and try new things, all I believe to have been guided by the Lord. as I have ALWAYS had great Faith even in my darkest times, praying for the Lord to just take me home at times was mysuicidal plea In which he did not and now I know why. All these things have made me stronger because of them and overcoming them on a daily bases. Anyone going thru this knows the strength it takes to just even be able to get out of bed some days.
I do, devotions, gratitude, prayer, meditation set boundaries for all negativity. Sometimes the people around you are not good for you, unfortunately even family, that has been the hardest one of all to realize and set boundaries with for me. Some are just toxic and instead of helping and understanding, add great stress to an already stressful situation. So very, very hard to realize and admit and understand that one. Have had to change everything and everyone around me, not easy at all. If people don’t want to come along , I have to move on, so very, very hard, as I have lived for others all my life.
I stretch, my own sort of yoga for 15 min to 1/2 , exercise at least 1/2 hour of any aerobic exercise raising your heartbeat gets better blood flow to your brain. Try to get a fresh walk in 1/2 hour to an hour a day, soaking in my surroundings filled with all of Gods great blessings, the birds, the bees, flowers, trees, hisBeaty is never ending. Depression became a comfort zone for me I believe, and I will not allow myself to sink back in. As my son needs me. More on my story if you read thru my previous posts. I just want to share what has helped and helps me thru this all. In hopes to help just one other person. Our life was changed with a phone call 4 years ago, and I can not and will not go back, and would love to help others along the way, as that is where I have always got my greatest joy, in helping others, have also learned we can not help others if we are unable to even help ourselves. Come along with me as we change our lives for the better, trusting the Lord and his plan for us all. He wants nothing but the best for us. Trust the journey! God is good! 🙏👼💕 I normally would apologize for such a long post, but one of the changes I am making is I am not and will no longer apologize for taking care of me, and more importantly trying to help others along the way. #MySTRENGTH , #MyHOPE , #mypeace , #ourLord
