Mentally Recovering @thinking_repeat

Status update: Forgot to take my meds 2 days in a row. That’ll do it 🙄

Have you ever laughed while you were alone and then felt incredibly sad?

I wish i could scream this out loud, but I’ll put it here instead: I HATE HAVING SOCIAL ANXIETY. WHY DOES PRESSING SEND TAKE ME A WHOLE HOUR? WHY WHY WHY? #socialanxiety

It feels selfish to take care of yourself when others are suffering. You can’t help others until you’ve triaged yourself first. I think self care is an important step in being an active change-maker, or at least in trying to be. No one has to capacity to be entirely selfless.

I marched for BLM today. Yesterday I stood in an hours-long line to vote. I should be physically exhausted but I am not. I am MENTALLY exhausted literally from being around more people than I’ve been around in months. They literally zapped my energy #socialanxiety #mentalhealth

how can you study and stay focused when your mental health’s getting worse with what’s happening every day

It has been getting hard to forgive myself. It feels like a daily battle against the self-blame demon

Today I had an egg for breakfast. I'm telling you this because I feel lately I've disappeared. No job, no income, no social life & no company. If you're single I'm guessing you're feeling the same way. Egg. Breakfast. That's my news. I'm here if you want to share yours

I’m checking back in because the pandemic has done a number on me. I had to leave me job and I’m really fucking lonely despite being at home with my family. #depression The only difference is, this time, I know that I will someday feel better. #mentalhealth

Things to remember: -You don’t have to be perfect -Having a bad day is ok -Small steps are also progress -Asking for help is strength -People love and appreciate you ❤️

You guys I might be having a birthday party for the first time in 10 years. #progress #socialanxiety #introvert #depression #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness And I’m EXCITED

So. I don’t actually know why I am sad right now. Theory: Had lunch with a friend today and I crashed from the social high. But. I’m not convinced. ❓Brain chemistry is weird. 😞 #depression #MentalHealthAwareness

Don’t think as adversity as a bad thing, think of it as a platform for growth... All the challenges, all the pain, all the obstacles along the way teaches you lessons that some will never know 🗣

I’m really really happy with how far I’ve come, and I wish the same fulfilling journey for others struggling against #depression and #socialanxiety. ❤️ Give it time, and give it trust. #therapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthAwareness (6/6)

But this is a good problem to have, b/c I never stepped close to wish-fulfillment a year ago. It was always “how do i calm down when i’m crying”, “how do I talk to people”, “how do I not criticize myself about everything?” #depression #mentalhealth #mentalhealthAwareness (5/6)

It has been a while since I’ve checked in here, and for the most part (selfishly) that’s a good thing. I’ve been less stuck in my head and I’ve gained a remarkable amount of confidence over the last year. (1/6)
