managing well being
my trauma got flared up last week and since then i've been in different waves of depression. my therapist has been supporting me and some listeners here.
i really need to be serious about taking care of myself. i feel so bad.
here are some things i want to take seriously:
-give less of my time to things that eat up my energy
-sleep more/enough/earlier
-say kind things to myself
-call a warmline if i am thinking of harmful thoughts
Hiya @flimflamblam I feel acknowledging to ourselves about how we feel, and what’s going not so right in our lives or how we can better it to feel better is incredibly brave and to also reach out for support while doing so? It’s top tier and I’m so so so proud of youu! 💛
Listing out things we need to do can actually help improve self-accountability also, so I’m happy to see you do that and truly wishing you well as you try. 🌻
You’re always stronger than what the meanie thoughts tell you in those low despairing times, and every effort you put in to hold on strong and to hang in tight, even as you try to breathe and make it through the roughest moments, counts so so much! 💛
