What’s Your Go-To Routine or Best Advice for Those Who Struggle

I think of Self-care as being personal and unique, and not only focussing on things that are positive or big or small. It’s about taking the correct actions that suit your needs whether it’s in a specific moment or for a long time.

It also involves practicing self-compassion and acknowledging our efforts, and acknowledging that it’s OK to find certain tasks are experiences or memory challenging. challenging: or take a little time for enjoying life’s simple pleasures.

Remember, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s about nurturing and strengthening yourself. So prioritize what makes you feel good, even if that means spending a day watching TV, and watch yourself flourish.

Also if you find self-care challenging you’re not alone because I used to be one of those people who struggled with self-care.

Remember

Showing ourselves self-compassion is crucial for mental and emotional well-being, involving treating ourselves with kindness and patience, akin to treating a close friend. It enhances our resilience, self-esteem, and overall mental health. Accepting our current state without judgment allows us to meet ourselves where we are, fostering a safe space for personal growth and effectively addressing our needs. Holding space for ourselves means permitting ourselves to feel and reflect, which is vital during challenging times for deeper understanding and healing. These practices promote gentleness, personal growth, and a stronger foundation for navigating life’s challenges. #ADHD #Anxiety #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #Addiction #MentalHealth #Depression #BipolarDepression #SubstanceRelatedDisorders #Neurodiversity

Questions to people diagnosed with autism as older teenagers/adults and/or with low support needs/level 1 autism

Hi. Could anyone from the group mentioned in the title tell me a bit about how a) he/she figured he/she may be autistic b) how it "manifests" in his/her case. I have been told a couple times by non-proffessionals (classmates, relatives) I may be on the spectrum and I guess I relate to some things about it. But diagnosis is not cheap and then again, it's not like I check the boxes neatly. I'd especially like to hear from other women/girls

Another thing I wrote on using our language to empower ourselves and I hope everyone is having a good day

The words we choose hold immense power in shaping our mental health journey. Using language that empowers and motivates fuels resilience and determination. Celebrating small victories and reframing setbacks as temporary challenges encourages perseverance and self-compassion. Embracing strength-based language cultivates a mindset of possibility and growth, guiding us towards a more positive and supportive relationship with ourselves on our mental health journey. #Addiction #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #Neurodiversity Why Our Words Matter in our Mental Health Journey

Highly sensitive person (HSP) 2w

A post of gratitude…

I’m grateful for finding groups and sites such as this one. Grateful to find people that understand what it’s like to be in that constant internal conflict between under and overstimulated. I am an HSP/HSS, amongst other things, and I continually find MySelf trying to steady between Being “not enough” and “too much” for the world around Me, while seeking My perfect balance internally.

I, like most here, have a great many interests, and feelings about those interests. Every last one of them. So many feelings. I’m grateful to find space with others here who also aspire to find their perfect blend of balance. Looking forward to interacting more with everyone.

May all be well.

May all be safe.

May all be free from suffering and harm.

May all be joyFull and at ease.

🙏🏽✨

One of the biggest lessons I learned in my mental health journey is healing is unique for everyone due to personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, and individual needs. Each person’s path through trauma or illness is shaped by their history, coping mechanisms, and support systems. This diversity highlights the need for personalized mental health and medical care, fostering inclusivity and empowering individuals to find methods that best suit their journey. #ADHD #MentalHealth #Addiction #anxiey #Depression #Neurodiversity

Today I got my motivational interviewing certification:) Motivational Interviewing (MI) it is a collaborative, person-centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change. For people with serious mental illness (SMI), MI can be particularly beneficial in addressing ambivalence toward treatment, medication adherence, and lifestyle changes necessary for recovery. Here’s an overview of how MI is applied in this context:
