Manifest Yourself. @youre-beautiful-silly - Tumblr Blog

T and I have been telling each other this for years, when we are crying at night, when we are feeling hopeless laying in bed wondering what the point is.

Just wait, it always feels better in the morning.

I will feel and release my angry feelings I have today. I can do that appropriately and safely. We go way, way back through the layers of fear, rage, hurt, and shame until we discover that delightful, lovable child that was, and still is, inside us. Today I will tell myself I am lovable and I will do this until I believe it. I will tell myself that what I’m doing is good enough, and enjoy that feeling. I can let go of things and people and my need to control today. I will remember that a gray day is just that- one gray day. When people with a compulsive disorder do whatever it is they do, they are not saying they don’t love you.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Meet Z.

Hey everyone, my name is Z.

I am a 24 year old woman living with PTSD, severe anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Not gonna lie, I’m a little fucked up and a little crazy.

I’m gonna start off by saying I’ve been on medications since I was 16 years old and my bipolar disorder is pretty much handled and doesn’t come up much in my life.

All throughout my life I have been met with trauma, and terrible situations that I shouldn’t have been in. My sister committed suicide when I was 16 years old. (Yes, there’s a correlation with the meds lol) This was probably one of the peak moments of my anxiety becoming extremely severe, this is also when my anorexia became the most severe, I’m a wreck I know. A few years later I was hospitalized twice for suicidal thoughts amongst other things. For being 24 I’ve seen just about everything you don’t want to see in life.

I met my husband, T, in high school and we started dating after high school in 2012. I stayed with him throughout the heaviest parts of his addiction, before he got clean. If you are in a relationship with an addict, please reach out to me because I promise you that I can relate to exactly what pain and confusion you’re feeling.

My anxiety and PTSD comes up regularly in my life, I have panic attacks, anxiety attacks, dissociative episodes, manic episodes, and still suffer with my eating disorder from time to time. I feel scared of everything. You name it, I’m scared of it.

Hey everyone, my name is Z.

I am a 24 year old woman living in the hottest part of Arizona, I’m a full time bartender and a part time student. I’m a psychology major, I’m a decent cook and I love video games so much. I’m a loyal wife, and a really good friend. I am so much more than all the things I just told you above. I’m here to tell you that you can be all the things I just said, and also an amazing person. If you need help or have any advice, I’m here for you and I can’t wait to hear from everyone.
