What are some of the things you struggle with as someone with health conditions?

For me, feeling alone and worrying about facing ableism are almost as difficult as my actual symptoms. What are some challenges you face? #MightyTogether #CheckInWithMe #shareyourstory

Do you feel endlessly restless?

I have #Depression and #Anxiety and I'm wondering if this is a common feeling for others with mental illness. I often find myself feeling restless; not like tossing and turning, more... existentially restless. I will settle into a chapter of my life (i.e. starting college, moving towns, getting a good job) and within months feel like I need change. It feels like I want to run, to leave everything behind and go somewhere better, somewhere new. It often comes with stress, which as an anxious person, is ever-present. Does anyone relate? #shareyourstory

Nuerodivergent and Borderline Positive! What self qualities are you proud of?

#BpdPositive and #proud !#BorderlinePersonalityDisorder is often be seen negatively as one of the most painfully difficult disorders to overcome, but I want to #Breakthecycle and end the #NegativeThinking #Stigma and #BorderlineStigma !

I love my ability to genuinely and sincerely empathize with others. I appreciate my artistic skills, creativity, insight, passion, and profound positivity! I am loyal and love fiercely. With radical honesty, I am an open book and deeply caring friend to others.

What are some positive traits about yourself in light of your #Neurodiversity ?

How to not Therapize Your Girlfriend

Provide a safe space for your girlfriend to explore her own emotions safely with you and yes, without you. Encourage her to speak to a licensed professional when feeling the urge to offer advice when maybe, she just needs someone to listen to her vent.

Be a shoulder to cry on without trying to fix the reason that’s causing her tears. It’s hard to see the ones we love in pain, but it’s better to provide healthier options to cope with negative emotions or symptoms of any mental distress.

When your girlfriend is struggling and all you want to do is help, the best thing could be seeking a therapist, counselor, psychologist, mental health doctor, etc.

There’s only so much we can do until given the right tools as an educated support system!

Best wishes,
VeganSarah

What do you do when you're feeling #Blue #Lowmood #copinghow ? #shareyourstory #whathelpsyousmile #whohelpsyousmile #Depression #stratergy

Through being ill for over 11years one of the awful parts is suffering with depression. So have found over the years, ways of coping to understand that I may not be able to.control my low moods but I can work through them by finding ways of coping so that I don't spiral or lose control...one of the best tonics for me is simply just seeing my grandsons, they have such a beautiful, innocent gift that they share with me. Their smiles, faces, eyes, scent, are all so powerful, at times, more effective that any medication that I take!
Please, if you wish, share with me & others, your reasons for smiling even when you're low 🙂
