Hey so I work in a mental hospital now.
When I started this account I was barely functioning, undiagnosed with a LOT of things, and severely suicidal.
Now I’m medicated, diagnosed (autism, PTSD, BPD as well as my physical conditions of fibro and hEDS), and in a completely different place mentally and life wise. I lost very important people in my life between then and now, but it was needed for growth. I love who I am now. And I never would’ve gotten here without that. It was truly my Tower moment. And that’s okay.
Im in a place I never thought I’d be. Happy, functional, no longer drinking. Working my dream job and actually excited to go to work every day, missing it when I’m not there.
Idk if anybody has actually been with me through this journey, and it’s been a long time since I’ve posted updates anyway, but it’s important to me I share.
Things can get better. I didn’t believe it. Sometimes I still don’t. But I have this blog to physically look back on and damn. Things really, really do.
Edit to add: a few new diagnoses, far less desire to over explain myself, and a beautiful career and life I never thought I would have, let alone live to see. 🩷 I’m a therapist now (:
