semicolon

Yesterday I got my very first tattoo. So happy with how it has turned out.

Design started with butterfly as it was what I would draw on myself to help with self harm urges.

From there added the semi colon for when author decides to continue sentence instead of it end it (project semicolon). Last summer I was hospitalized against my will for suicidal thoughts. And so glad I had friends to walk through me with it.

Then butterfly design itself is based of Pokémon vivillon. Because Pokémon was a way to connect with some friends afterwards that helped give me something to do. And picked elegant form because one I love purple and two the word speaks to me and what I want to be.

Everyone in their lifetime has been put to the test, trials and tribulations. It’s the question of how you continue to preservere. I had this tattoo done over a year ago. Somewhere in it is the semicolon symbol. We all know what that symbol means.

Ever since I was hospitalized for attempted suicide several weeks ago I had a complete 180 turn on my life. Armed with knowledge I’ve learned from my 7 day stay, I have a better outlook on life. It didn’t matter how hard my battles were I kept going. Things are never easy, it never is. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up.

I know you’re having difficulty with getting through life. Welcome to the club but that doesn’t mean you’re throwing in the towel. You keep going and never looking back.

As for me I recently experienced a heartbreak. I’m currently grieving but I know I’ll get over the heartache. Life will go on. I’ll continue to better myself and grow. My main priority is Me.

You never stop learning, never stop improving and never give up on yourself! Make a promise to yourself. I believe in you! #believeinyourself #selfImprovement

We gotta take it one day at a time

I am bipolar, a suicide attempt survivor & have had several friends die by suicide. I got this Phoenix semicolon tattoo to rep my & everyone’s struggle with depression. I am the Phoenix rising from my own ashes reborn. #SuicideAwareness #semicolonproject

I never knew what the #ProjectSemicolon really meant until I started to really look into it. For those of you who don’t know, the #semicolon represents where the author could have ended his sentence, but instead decided to keep going.

My #SemicolonTattoo represents how I could have stopped in the beginning of my #fight with #MentalHealth , #MentalIllness , #Depression , #BipolarDisorder , #Anxiety but instead I decided to keep going.

Under my tattoo, you can see my #Scars , a perpetual reminder of my past. However, I placed the tattoo above them to remind myself I came out on top.

Still here. Went to my friends house. It was nice to get out but I got sick in the car as per usual. Had a #PanicAttack #Anxiety #depressed my whole world is upside down. I’m probably looking at #Divorce of my 9 year marriage. Don’t think what he broke in our relationship can be fixed, he was my best friend and I really don’t know what my world or future looks like without him in it. I’ve only told a few friends & still no family. I feel like my marriage was the only good thing in my life & now that’s not right & I’m lost. I’m #Disabled dealing with #ChronicPain & the one thing I could depend on is gone. I just keep going over the same things in my head I really don’t know what I’m going to do. For now I’m here. Trying to #TakeItOneDayAtATime I’m trying to breath. Been listening to my sleep/meditation music & sitting here thinking. Can’t game, can’t really do much but lay here. #Flaredup the weather is killing me my #Fibro is raging & my life is a mess. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I have my cats though. Crazy cat lady & her trusty kitty side kicks.

I have been #exhausted & going through waves of #Depression & #Anxiety but I just keep telling myself to push through, wait for it to pass even though it can sometimes seems like an eternity. I hope this is finding everyone well, posting on here when I can has been really cathartic for me. Seeing others posts going through the same things as me, #ChronicIllness #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #Fibromyaliga #SuicidalIdeation #Fibro #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CFS , helps me know I’m not alone. It also helps comments on my posts to know that I maybe helped at least one person myself. I hope I have. So as this new year starts I want to try to remain hopeful, & as always try to take it one day at a time. I’m continuing my story #semicolonproject ; #semicolon I deserve love, I deserve peace, I deserve happiness. ♥️
