In this crazy world we live in. Mental health is so so important. As is your ability to be able to practice self care. Don't let others tell you otherwise do something good for yourself

welcome back message

Hi all you Adult Survivors followers/warriors.  

After a very long hiatus we are back.   Hopefully bigger and better than before.

Sadly my mental health took a huge battering over the last couple of years and I have had to practice a huge self care regime to get myself back to where I am at now.   I also had to promise my psychiatrist that I would stay away from my passion and calling of offering support to fellow survivors, for my own mental health.  As he stated I cannot help others if I myself am not in a good place mentally.  And I was at risk of being put into hospital/psych ward and stepping back from Adult Survivors was a huge sacrifice but for my own wellbeing that is what I have had to do.

You will see posts very similar to previous.  However, you will also see more posts from the new admin of Adult Survivors, Veronica. She will be doing predominantly all the posting but with collaboration with myself. Veronica is a very strong independent compassionate and empathetic young lady and not being biased at all as she is my daughter.   But she will also be able to give a great insight into what life is like as a family member of a CSA survivor and being raised by a survivor.  Which when you think about it actually has a huge impact on their lives as well.

Thank you all you warriors for being patient with us while we get back into the swing of things, but we look forward to interacting and offering support from here on in.

Have a great day and as always stay strong.

Stop. Thinking about things I can't change.

Theres no point worrying about it.....

Positivity

If I fail at one aspect of my life, it's not a reflection of any whole self. My whole self includes how I am as a friend, sibling, relative, citizen, and community member. And my qualities of kindness, sensitivity to others, helpfulness etc. Also, a failure is not a permanent condition.

My new mantra for this year. And I also have decided Its time for me to start putting myself first for the first time ever.

sometimes you’re not ready for certain things. maybe you’ll take longer than others. and that’s okay. we all grow at different speeds!

Hey Everyone after a long time away I am back. I feel bad for not being on and regularly posting for what seems forever, however I knew with how my mental state was all last year I knew I had to step away and work on myself.

2019 was a looooong year for me, I haven't been that "sick" due to my mental health for a very very long time.... I believe 2006/7 was when I was really really bad last.

My pysch has put me on the right medication combination plus I was doing appts with him every month to start unravelling all the complex layers as he called it. But after finally getting the right diagnosis and the right medication combination my mental health has improved so much I can barely believe it. I truly do believe the combination of medication and therapy is one of the best tools that people need. He Even taught me a great meditation routine that takes five mins.

So now I know I'm in a better headspace snd knowing 90% of my triggers now I am a lot stronger. And therefore I know I can come back to what I love to do and that is to help. Fellow survivors of sexual abuse and incest.

I look. Forward to chatting with you all again and seeing how we can all come together and assist each other and be the voice for those who haven't found their voice as of yet.

Much love to you all
