...See more Really struggling with mental health because of the cold. The cold is making my lupus flare and because of that it's causing my medical PTSD to get triggered. I don't really openly talk about my mental health on socials but I feel like I need to reach out more but It's so hard when all my energy is being used to survive! I'm in therapy I'm on psych medication I'm practicing my coping skills and I'm keeping myself alive, isn't that enough? When will it ever be enough? |just wish the flashbacks would stop, they're getting really hard to dissociate from. I just need to get some of these emotions out before I go crazy.
