Do you use humor to take back the power from the illness(es) that tries to take you down? #Depression #Anxiety #CPTSD #TBI #MightyTogether

I always say to myself that if I can’t laugh at my conditions, then I am truly lost. Do you have some “zingers” that you can share with us so that we can all laugh together? I’ll start first!

How has trauma impacted you? #MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #EatingDisorders #CPTSD #TBI #MightyTogether

My trauma lead to alcoholism (16 years sober now), toxic relationships, disordered eating, ptsd and many other negative coping mechanisms. It is still a work in progress. Trauma leaves permanent scars. Recovery is possible, but it’s something you have to work on to prevent those scars from opening up again. I wish all of you strength and hope as you seek recovery from trauma! What are some ways trauma has affected your life?

I really hate the way I look

Throughout my life I have had men especially men I have had crushes on reject me or say stuff about the way I look that I am not attractive and I am ugly. I have even been told I am not appealing. I don’t think I am pretty and therapy doesn’t help that. I never liked the way I looked even when I was skinny. Now I am overweight because of my mental health medications. It’s just what can I do if I was born this way? I always had people be so rude and mean to me. I don’t see why people can’t be nice, I have been through so much and I am close to 30 and a virgin.

I had people tell me my life could be a lot worse and that my life will get worse. It would mean the world to me if that isn’t true.

I hope life gets better for me everyday in every way and I hope that for all of you too! I don’t know why people say such mean things. I emailed a model once and told her what I was going through with my mental health journey and her reply was that my life will get worse and worse over the years that she will pray for me. I swear I hope that’s not true because I deserve a life that always continues to get better for me in every way and so do all of you!

I am not finding the type of mental help that I want that can help change my life

There was one time I was hospitalized in a residential treatment center in Florida and one of the female mental health techs that I kept talking to and opening up to told me to make a wish and it will come true. I feel like the wish is coming true but it wasn’t even like a big wish. I wish I made a better wish. I wish that I can have 100 more wishes come true because honestly right now my life sucks and I am barely living. I hope I can get my 100 wishes one day soon. It would mean the world to me if I do.
