The Ghosts of Our Past

They say when you don’t learn a lesson it will come back to haunt you, well at least it will arrive in some form to remind you of it. I feel the last few years of my life have been this, there have been moments of repeating patterns, people or thoughts that have lead me to places I don’t want to be. I have taken that step through expecting something different, something new. The same things have always happened. 

What I have learn’t is how to read myself and those situations. How to say no to things that no longer serve me. Moving away from everything I knew has been a challenge. Some days have been easy. Others have been hard and felt impossible but I did it. I packed my whole life away into neat little boxes and decided to say fuck it to the things I no longer wanted and although I am heading back there to be with my partner I would do it all over again.

It was so nice getting out and about on my own yesterday, I rarely get out alone. It was nice having a day to myself! I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity. ~Albert Einstein~ #selflove #being #alonetime #neverenough #alwaysbusy #nevergiveup #positivethinkingbringspositiveresults #bepositive #positivevibes #positivequotes #love #loveyourself #lovethelifeyoulive #livingmybestlife #livingforme #livingforthemoment #lovethyself #selfmade #motivation #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/B50N0U_J-da/?igshid=10pqcvj1ouljp

Help yourself find Happiness and compassion

It has taken me many years to figure out what actually helps balance my mind. What keeps me in check with good and bad in my thoughts. To keep the negative at bay.

There are many articles posted with scientific research on what helps you balance the chemicals and achieve a healthy balance. But, as with everything, you have to find what works for you as all people are not the same. What works for someone will not work for everyone.

For my there needs to be physical contact, exercise, and a good schedule. Physical contact releases the endorphins your brain is lacking when suffering from depression. Exercise releases the chemicals that your brain needs to keep you confident and keep your energy level up and out of the succubus that is depression. A good schedule keeps you from sleeping to much, the way your bed calls for you all the time. It keeps you eating healthy, instead of binging on junk when your feelings hit to hard. A solid schedule will keep you moving even when you don't want to move and feel like you should just give up.

All this for me was possible by finding the perfect medication. It gives me the little clarity that I need to pull myself out of the black hole that is mental illness. I did not expect any medication to "fix me". I knew (after a lot of research and experience) that medication was not supposed to be a cure all when it comes to mental illness. The fact you need to realize when trying to get help is that mental illness does not go away and can not be cured. You will have to learn to live with it. You have to learn to survive the bad days and make your claim on the good ones to keep yourself ahead of the darkness.

With that being said, you have to find not just one thing that helps but instead a lifestyle that can keep you on your path. Sometimes you will have bad days and stay from said path, but it is important to find your way back and never give up. To make this life easier and to give yourself what you deserve. Happiness and compassion. If you don't look out for yourself and make yourself a priority nobody else will.

We laughed. We listened. We laughed harder. We drank. We got wet. We got bit. We drank some more. We laughed again...and again. And, talked all kinds of shit. #allkindsofshit #forreal They say #accordingtogoogle Waterfalls are related to a great release of emotion, rejuvenation and renewal of spirit - a perfect sum of my birthday significance and, for others, their experience with Tinder dates. I say, whatever you are in life, be sure to have 5 great friends around bc when it’s the shittiest or greatest of times, they will cheer you on! #noshame #lifeisgood #friendsmakeitbetter #livingforme #balilife #waterfalling #birthdaylove #vlogcomingsoon #villalife (at Tibumana waterfall)

“The creases that form on my tired cheeks when I smile have meaning again. The lost sparkle in my eyes have been found. My eyes can finally see the world stunning technicolor. I’ve realized my dreams now. I am finally becoming the person I want to be and I could never have done it without him.”

Did you know I get anxiety? Or that I feel everyone can see my shortcomings? Did you know I see a different person when I look in the mirror? How about my crushing fear I will let everyone down. I get cold sweats and hot flashes in the same minute some days. I wake up and cry worrying about what ifs. Not even real issues, things that might happen maybe. There is so much more to people than meets the Instagram. It is a real scary truth that my house is a mess, I yell at my kids, I love and hate my job, my laundry is piling up, my dishes are screaming at me from the other room, and I am in the bath ignoring it all. Once in a while I find myself crawling into a quiet place and need to really force myself out. Out to do groceries, out to the gym, out to see friends. If you need to hear that you’re not alone, here it is. You are so not alone. Each person you see is fighting a silent battle in the background. Some more than others. Don’t be afraid to go to that dark place, just remember not to live there. It’s examination, acceptance and moving forward is how you make it back out. Be kind, to yourself and others. I was motivated to post this “reality” by someone I admire and respect, who shared their own honest post today and I’m grateful he did. It gave me the warmth to share my own fears and spread the message to others that were all in this together. No one leaves this earth alive, do your best while you can. 🧘🏻‍♀️❤️🧖🏻‍♀️ #livingforme #momsofinstagram #mentalhealthawareness #mentality #health #like #follow #iphone #longpost #trending #bekind #selfcare #anxiety #anxious #blackandwhite #greyarea #takeitslow #onedayatatime https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxXfjYnB0l/?igshid=ml2jwtovfz0g
