A Hard Day's Night

Does your illness whatever it is just get you in the worst mood some days? Like you just can't shake it? I try so hard to be positive, and not be hard on myself about not being how I used to be before this but today's just one of those days. And to be to honest, it sucks. I'm just trying the best I can. It's been 2 years I feel like I should be used to it by now but I'm not. I keep finding myself mourning the life I used to have, how healthy I used to be. It's an adjustment just one hell of one. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talks lol. #IIH #iihwarrior #IntracranialHypertension #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #POTS #Headache #Migraine #CheckInWithMe #TheMighty #Fainting #Anxiety #Depression #ADHD #TheBeatles

Yellow Submarine and My Ever-changing Life

Whenever I feel empty or depressed, I watch a lot of cartoons which gives me joy and inspiration to draw or painting something. Yellow Submarine is one of those movies that, no matter how many times I've seen it, I still laugh and get goosebumps over the humor, colour, and animation. (When I first discovered The Beatles, I wanted to be a hippie at 13... and I was in love with Paul.) I had therapy today and talked about my deep seated fear of abandonment and my inability to see my worth. This session was particularly draining. I had another dream where I was left behind. When I woke up, instead of panicking, I remembered what my therapist said:"Think of a 100 dollar bill. It's crumpled up, it still has value. It's been in the dirt, it still has value. You are valuable." That helped me a lot. I'm trying to look at my life and progress differently because I feel like my progress is so small. I'm slowly, but surely learning to love myself. #MentalHealth #Depression #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #FearOfAbandonment #TheBeatles
