Today's gentle reminder💕

[beccawise7]

For the hearts hurting.

Minds that are exhausted.

If your spirit has been shattered...

It's not permanent. I promise. It will get better.

Don't give up.

Today is my birthday 🙂

A year ago today I was depressed out of my mind, spending every day on my couch after quitting a job I had been at for nearly 8 years, that had traumatized me so bad I felt like I was nothing, the prospect of trying to find another job TERRIFIED me.

I was dreading my upcoming wedding, in my heart I knew it wasn’t a good idea, that I was making a mistake. But I was so weak and broken that I really didn’t have the strength to end it.

I wasn’t eating. Hadn’t eaten all day, maybe the day before that too. Was being made to feel guilty because I wasn’t excited or planned anything for my own special day. Getting dragged out for a less than spectacular dinner with my then fiancé, where I could only struggle to eat some of our appetizer before getting right back in the car to go home.

The car where I got screamed at on the drive home. All I’d asked for was to drive a little slower, to take it easy. Then screamed at when we got home, threats of not marrying me, of already divorcing me before even getting married (lol). I desperately wanted to say yes and leave. But I couldn’t. So I just cried and dreamed of being somewhere else. Anywhere else.

And here I am now, a year later, here to tell you that I am on my way out of that relationship for good, that I’m back to working. Two jobs. Are they my dream jobs? No, but it’s something to feel good about myself for, money in my pocket to support myself, skills to learn to help move me forward to something better.

Better days WILL come. You CAN get through it. I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time. If you’re still reading this, yes it is a sign, make your move. I love you and will support you, just as others have supported me.

Trump Weird News - Better Days With Kamala

It’s amazing how you can sabotage your self simply by the way you are thinking. Self sabotaging sometimes happens and you don’t even realize it’s happening.

It takes time and energy to consciously pay attention to the thoughts in your head…and even more time and energy to change those thoughts.

Sometimes you don’t even realize you’re struggling with self-doubt and destructive thoughts…I know I am guilty of it, more often than not. 🙁😫

Acknowledging the thoughts in your head is the first and maybe the most important step in changing your thought process… sorting out all the negative and self destructive thoughts is the hard part followed by trying to remove or change those thoughts.

Don't let the hard days win. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger. Keep pushing forward and remember that better days are just around the corner.

for anyone that is thinking of it, here’s a list of reasons why you should never overdose (or take your life in general, but this is centered around my experience with an overdose) :

below the cut- trigger warning for suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, experience with overdose.

first and foremost, and also the most important reason- there are people that love and care for you. even if you don’t feel like there are, there’s always someone who cares about you. even if it’s some random stranger on the internet. no matter how alone you might feel, there are always better days ahead. life is a cycle of good and bad, and sometimes we have spells of bad before things get good.

secondly, depending on what you overdose on, there are varying degrees of embarrassment and pain. when i overdosed, i overdosed on (go ahead, laugh at me) ibuprofen and tylenol. it was enough to make me black out for three days and i was pissing and the whole nine yards during that whole time. they had to put a piss pad under me to catch it. i’m pretty sure they also had to change my underwear. if that’s not reason enough, here are some more reasons.

when i finally woke up, i couldn’t hold anything down- not even water. i was dry heaving for another two days. now, if you haven’t ever done that, let me tell you. it was hell.

they had to put skin glue on my IV to make sure it stayed in because i was moving around so much that my skin got loose and the antidote started leaking. getting that skin glue off was painful.

also, if your liver fails, it’ll be a painful healing process.

now for some less serious reasons. what’s your favorite food? your favorite drink? if you die, you’ll never be able to taste that again.

you ever seen a really really pretty sunrise/sunset? yeah, you’ll never be able to witness that ever again.

do you have a pet? think about how sad they’ll be when they find out their friend is never coming back. “where’s ___? they were gonna play with me today.”

think about your younger family members. think about how your family would try to tell them that you’re gone. think about how sad they’d be. think about how you’ll never be able to see them again.

for those of you who are dealing with domestic violence, i’ll link a number down at the bottom. no matter what, your safety is priority. don’t feel guilty. 99% of the time, abusers don’t actually do what they threatened they were going to do.

for those of you who have a hard home life- think about how awesome it would be to live on your own or with your friends. really visualize it. a comfy bed, watching tv in the living room- wouldn’t that be cool? or think about what career you wanna go into. think about how much fun it’ll be to finally spend some money on yourself, and do something fun!

there are many, many more reasons, so feel free to reblog and add some. if you’re in a different country, please reblog and add the numbers for each of the ones listed below or anything you feel should be added.

Power of Positivity

April 11th, 2021

I wrote this article three years ago and this is the revised version.

My life is my masterpiece. I’m very grateful to those who reach out to me when they hear and feel my “thoughts” even if I don’t say a single word. It’s a never ending battle for me as I have a mood condition, however, I will continue to walk with faith in God and hope that better days are coming.

Do know that in life, there will always be roadblocks along the way as they are a part of your journey through life.

The most important thing is that we continue to have faith in God, count our blessings each day, be grateful for what we have, and even though we don’t get what we pray for, rest assured that God will give you something much better than whatever you have prayed for.

Do things with great love, enjoy the best things in life which are usually free, always see the brighter side of life, and always believe in the power of prayers.

Pay forward whatever you have received from people ~ whether in cash, in kind, knowledge or skills. Never expect something in return. A simple form of gratitude from them like “thank you “ or “salamat” should be enough to make you happy and contented. That only means that they have appreciated whatever you have given them. Enjoy the little things in life as they are the ones which usually make people happy.

Blessings to everyone and we will all get through this Pandemic. Once again, the world will be a better place if we all help each other.

Maganda ang buhay! Laban lang palage and always pray as prayers work all the time!
