🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧

If you know I go to therapy then you KNOW I AM TOO EMOTIONAL FOR THESE KINDS OF ASKS 😭😭😭😭😭

Also, yes that tiktok is literally me 🤣🤣🤣 I have therapy every Saturday, and between those Saturdays I go through an all out war in my mind over the SMALLEST inconvenience. Like full on crisis, world is ending, meltdown, manic episode, dramatics on level 100, and by Friday after I've pretty much resolved my MINOR issue, I'm like "pffft, who even needs a therapst" 🤣🤣 I'm a mess, ignore me lmao

But yes, I've been in and out of therapy since I was 16, it's been hard and I used to feel a lot of shame and guilt around it. I come from a culture where mental health is such a taboo topic, but after 6 years and a lot of rewiring my thinking I've normalized the idea of therapy in my life. I've been through a lot, and I like to use my story and my experience to help other people feel comfortable with theirs. I used to feel like I wanted people to think I'm "normal" and act like I don't have a lot of issues lol, when in reality my issues are normal! I'm always so open about seeking mental help, whether through meds or therapy or hospitalization, because people aren't ashamed needing physical help, so we shouldn't feel ashamed seeking mental help. I started posting my therapy with sheem posts because I felt like a lot of what my therapist was telling me could be helpful to anyone that reads those posts. Also, it's so I can go back and reread them whenever I feel like I need some encouragement. I hope that other people seeing me be so open about my struggles and challenges can see that other people are going through the same thing they are, and know that it's okay and it gets better!

So thank you lovely lovely anon, because this ask just reaffirms that what I'm doing is the right thing 💜
