5 Reasons To Live
Depression Support / by HelpfulOtter

 October 26th, 2023
...See more Hi, everyone! When I am feeling really overwhelmed with the feelings of depression, I like to think of 5 reasons for me to keep fighting the good fight and for me to live. I challenge you to do the same! If you can't think of 5, that's okay! Can only think of 3? That's fine! 1? It's something. I'll start! Otter's 5 Reasons To Live (1-25-2016) 1.) I dont want to be another statistic. 2.) The sound of my partners laugh. 3.) The day my preferred name becomes my legal name. 4.) Christmas in Newfoundland. 5.) I want to look back on my life in 5 years and feel oh so grateful that I did not give up.
So Proud
Positivity & Gratitude / by HelpfulOtter

...See more I am proud of myself for being a fighter. About 1.5 months ago, I was diagnosed with extremely severe mononucleosis, caused by Epstein-Barr. My doctors feel that I caught this at work (I work in a place with thousands of people and visitors. It's open-seating. The works). On Friday, they told me that there is a very real possibility that the virus has compromised my liver. They think that I now may possibly have acute hepatitis and I may have the start of liver failure (yes, mono can cause liver failure). But I am still a fighter. I have not self-injured because of this news. I have not skipped any sort of medication or pushed myself beyond my limit to make it worse. While it is pretty boring staying in bed all day and maybe being awake 6 hours out of it, I know that this is what my body needs. It is a great lesson in self care. I am going to beat this thing. -Otter

Absolutely loved our chat, I felt like I mattered for once instead of feeling like I had to get on with my life and get over my feelings of sadness and my anxiety as they didnt matter..... I was given helpful links which I'm excited to look at and learn to become more focused on myself and my feelings. Thankyou so much
