parentless

if you grew up with parents who scared you more than cared about you, if you got abused from the ones who should love you unconditionally, if one or both of them neglected/left you, or if you grew up with no parents at all. THIS IS A SAFE HAVEN.

My little revolution.

I believe this world needs more compassion. And why not start right here? With this next thought. With this next feeling. 

Can I just let it be exactly as it is?

Do you ever feel an all-consuming rage and the wrath of god bursting at the seems of your body about to combust from out of you and flood the whole world . And you are just sitting there

The text reads:

When dealing with urges, instead of telling yourself an outright "no", tell yourself that if you still want to give into the urge, you can do it later. It's possible that not telling yourself an outright "no" may help ease the discomfort of the urge, and usually by the time "later" arrives, the urge has passed.

Remember that the urges do pass. You won't be in discomfort forever.

During my first month with my therapist, I was given this worksheet to read and work on. She noticed that while I was talking with her, that my thoughts followed a lot of these. I wasn’t aware that my anxiety had brought me down paths of low self-worth and stinky thinking.  After a couple of weeks of talking with her, she gave me this worksheet to work on. 

While, at first, I thought these weren’t going to work out, I was very surprised to see just how easy they were to use . My homework at that time was to identify which sort of thinking I used on the regular and which ones would best challenge them for me. So, what do you think? Do any of the maladaptive thinking patterns sound like you? which ways would you like to untwist your thinking?

Oh no

[inkskinned]

one day i will say “i am going home” and it will fill me up to my fingertips and it will fill me up to my core because my home will be more than a bed or a building. when i go out it will not feel like escaping. when i come back it is not a caging. the sigh of sheets and clean laundry and sipping jasmine tea. 

so lonely, i guess. to need to wait for happy.

My parents the moment I go out of my room: WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO

It's not fair that I have to choose between running away for my own safety and staying with my mom at home to give her a reason to live and not fucking kill herself because of my father.

“What I’ve learned from being abused was mostly about how the human body reacts when faced with constant terror. I know how it tries to distract, tries to minimize it and calm, tries to stuff it down where it turns to anxiety. And then how it goes cold, shaking, self conscious, craving for any sort of relief. And then, hyperventilation, paralyzing, panic attacks, trembling, begging. Chronic pain, all organs aching, inability to digest. Dry mouth, nightmares and flashbacks, inability to relax for even a second, paranoia and constant alertness. Sometimes anger comes out in desperate attempt to protect from fear. Exhaustion. Fainting. Losing control of limbs. Desire for pain. And then, there’s numbness. When body goes past the point of fear it’s able to experience and survive, it detaches, dissociates from reality, and you’re not yourself anymore.”
