Pessimism isn’t a choice

As someone who lives with harm OCD, I almost took my life because my brain was bullying me & torturing me with thoughts of hurting 2 people (who I still believe deserve it) and myself. I had to move to another states and voluntarily sign a paper saying I won’t own a firearm for 5 years minimum. It’s never appropriate to tell someone with PTSD or any trauma “don’t be so pessimistic”, or “don’t be so sad”. There’s a fundamental lack of understanding about mental illness and personality disorders, as well as Neurodivergent & spectrum of them. #PTSD #HarmOCD #Trauma #Toxicpositivity

Time to practice living more

I've definitely mastered surviving!
Growing up and going through life as a HSP and with two personality disorders plus anxiety and depression.
I needed to fight hard.
Most days were hard.
Most things were hard.
Most relationships were hard.
I became hard.
My heart closed.
Probably also my soul.
To shield me from all the hurt.
And I mastered surviving.
I survived - thank goodness.
Now I am working on healing for the first time in my life.
And I want to get to a point where I live more.
I get to experience it now in short and fleeing moments.
But I'll take that.
I can build on that.
