@horizon-minds idk i just had like...a major anxiety/depression episode a few weeks ago where i was constantly nauseated and vomiting from anxiety and my hair was coming out in clumps and i lost three pounds in two weeks and finally i was like “this is neither normal or okay and i deserve better” so i went to my doctor and the therapist and together theyve been able to kind of set me on a path to healing/stability and i’m really just like...
focusing on my health (both mentally and physically) and i’m holding myself more accountable bc it’s easy to pull the “we can’t all be neurotypical karen” card and stay in bed for 18 hours a day and not shower for a week but that was like??
feeding into my depression more bc feeling like shit and not doing anything about feeling like shit only made me feel MORE like shit and honestly i started out with little things like “ok get up and brush your teeth and if you still feel like shit you can go back to bed” and yeah,a lot of times i would just go back to bed but also i found that once i actually got up and brushed my teeth i was like “oh well i’m already up and in the bathroom so i’m gonna brush my hair” and it just starts a chain reaction of me Doing Things and like
idk man i know its easy to fall into the Pit of Despair and be like “whelp this is my home now” but i know i deserve better than that and with the proper assistance and help i CAN do better than that and i’m real jazzed with myself for fighting back and trying to make things better for myself
