Pricy to get a taxi to hobbycraft but it was somewhere else to go with my unescorted leave . Restrained in what I bought and a cuppa in the nearby cafe. Waiting for a taxi back to Widnes Asda to get some bits and waste a touch more time. I hate wasting time for its own sake but it’s the only way I’m getting through and surfing the urges. Keeping on keeping on. #survival #section17 #wastingtime #bpd #bpdproblems #urgesurfing

We talked about how to deal with sadness and loneliness today in our wellness activity. We all agreed that these emotions are intensely painful but we can take some comfort in knowing that they do eventually pass. I shared that often sadness comes out as fatigue. Life got better when I learned to question my tiredness to see what might lie beneath it. We completed the activity with some fun Bruno Mars videos to lift our spirits. Embracing joy helps combat my sad tiredness. What helps you when you feel sad and lonely? What brings joy even during covid? #recovery #alifeworthliving #hopeisreal #joy #depressionwarrior #anxietywarrior #anxietyrecovery #spoonie #wellness #spooniewarrior #embracejoy #validateyourself #validation #dbt #dbtskills #urgesurfing #ridethewave #emotionregulation #embracethejourney #itgetsbetter #thistooshallpass #embracechange #chronicfatiguewarrior #edwarrior #bpdwarrior #onedayatatime https://www.instagram.com/p/CCFTIJnFHMu/?igshid=8978j1sk27k0

I think this picture is funny. I was drawing two different concepts in an activity at the peer support and wellness center yesterday. The first is “urge surfing” where you ride the wave of a negative urge using mindfulness. You ride the wave of urge or emotion until it passes. The second is two ways of looking at recovery. We want it to go up in a straight line, but it really is more like an upward spiral. We learn something and get better but it takes a while to learn and we may feel stuck spinning in a circle for a while. You see why my drawings are usually abstract. Lol I hope these concepts help you-they help me. #urgesurfing #dbt #dbtskills #recovery #mentalhealthrecovery #peersupport #atlantarecovery #bpdwarrior #bpdrecovery #edrecovery #edwarrior #thisiswhatrecoverylookslike #addictionrecovery #youcandothis #ocdrecovery #ocdwarrior #bipolarrecovery #bipolarwarrior #schizophreniarecovery #schizoaffectiverecovery #schizophrenicwarrior #hopeisreal #mindfulness #mindfulnesspractice #theonlywayoutisthrough #goodvibrations #wellnesswarrior #mentalwellness #dbtwarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGyklahTRv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6nxgbut6wouy
