Life Update

I took a break from counseling, but now I am back in it because I have been having panic attacks and meltdowns. The good news is my new coping skills are already working. They are singing, dancing, praying, writing, tai Chi, focus on what I can control, and deep breathing. The reason why I have been experiencing those things is because my boyfriend who lives in Uganda and I are taking a break so that he can fully recover from his serious illnesses that he got from dirty water and mosquito bites and we can both regain our mental health. It is a good thing those because I feel so much better. Oh and I am also getting new caregivers because two of them are pregnant and experiencing issues related to it. Just got out of my exercise class.

Feeling Strong!

It is a beautiful day here here in Florida. It is crisp this morning and I have the windows down. I have been working a lot on my YouTube channel "ValerieCorinneNJ" and I hope to grow it. I am excited for the future and I am looking forward to seeing what good things can happen. I have struggled for so long, and I still do with major #PanicAttacks It's awful. Anxiety isn't the best either. But I do what I do because I have to. I just keep moving.

I pray that you're doing well.
I am around. I am alive. LoL

Love,
Valerie

How has your perspective on recovery changed over time?

As I recover from persistent depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and perfectionism, I’ve found that my perspective has changed numerous times—shaping how I interact with myself, recognize my limits, consistently ask for help, prioritize my health, grow my empathy for myself and others, build community, and even foster my creativity.

Even though the process has been challenging and uncomfortable, I’m learning that it’s OK to make mistakes and express emotions like frustration, anger, and annoyance—without seeing them as negative or believing they make me a bad person. I’m still figuring out where I feel at home in the world and how to explore love more freely, but I’m willing to keep going because I know I deserve it.

What about you? How has your perspective on recovery changed?

Sigh

She was in the mood for blueberry pancakes tonight so that's what we had at 1am. I feel bloated and grumpy. I don't know if I should have eaten them but they were delicious.

I've been having restless arms for the last few hours. I took a pregabalin and then konked out for an hour. But when I woke up my arms still hurt.

I've been fighting with my hair all day. It's just way too long and keeps getting in my eyes. I am using a hair clip but my hair doesn't adhere to the laws of physics.

I had a panic attack today. I took my night meds last night so that's not what caused it. I tried using fingernail clippers but my hands were so shaky. I accidentally cut one nail too far. It didn't bleed though.

I'm in a very sour mood. I am tired of being talked down to and the passive aggressive BS.

I want to hear from YOU.

When I was going through my hell, I always wished I had someone I could open up to in hopes that they could help me. I would of gave my right arm for that. I want to offer my real life experience ( no college degree or textbooks) of what it took to overcome my isolation, severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and agoraphobia. But only YOU can take that first step,. Take a chance and reach out, I'm here for YOU, no judgement, just a desire to possibly help someone with something close to my heart, that's all.
