YET AGAIN……. Another #sleepless night! #Insomnia

I know #Insomnia & other #SleepDisorders are no party, but no one ever tells you how dark and lonely these long nights can be! Its so quiet. And particularly if you have #Anxiety or other #r #MentalHealth issues, silence can be our worst enemy. Love to all who have to battle hard all night, just to try and sleep. Xx

It doesn’t feel like it, but I did a lot of good things for myself today.

I’m posting this to reinforce for myself that even though I don’t feel good right now (general depression gloom) I did some good things for myself today.

I did the dishes during my lunch break from work (working from home).
I took a walk after I ate dinner and listened to the latest episode of Phoebe Reads a Mystery (podcast).
I watched tv for a bit when I got home, but felt distracted and edgy so I put on a restorative yoga class from YouTube and did about 50 minutes of gentle, supported yoga.
I made myself a mug cake for a treat.

It’s okay that I don’t want to do some of my other self care or hobbies today, I did a lot. I have a tendency to get down on myself for not doing things that are good for me. But this is a reminder that I have taken care of myself and I can rest. I don’t have to knit or journal today. #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Anxiety #Selfcare #low self worth #r #MentalHealth

Easter holidays after #Addiction

#AddictionRecovery #r #mentalhealth

I missed my child entire first year of holidays and other because I was addicted to drugs and now that I'm trying to return it's times like this I really think and see that my life changed when I did drugs. It's painful to see how much damage I did to my family and my son. I really hope they see I want better and what to do better.

Is it normal to mourn the thought of not connecting with your therapist once therapy ends? #Therapy #r #MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #PTSD

I have a wonderful Christian counselor and even though I’ve only been in counseling a little over a month I’m already sad about it ending eventually! Yes I know our therapist can’t be our friend but it really messes with your human nature to connect with a person and not feel that way.

What if having #Borderline meant we are living a #Dream ?

Living with #BPD feels #hollow as  #emptiness engulfs us. It occurred to me, that perhaps the #thousands of #bpds are living in a #Dream ., an #alteredreality .  If our#Reality ,is a #Dream then #others cannot be a part of it. Hence no #Understanding . Being alone in a #Dream . It's just that. An altered #r .eality. A #Dream  . No one can join another in their dreams.
