Surviving mental illness. TW: Suicide / ED / Addic

Surviving mental illness. TW: Suicide / ED / Addiction⁣
⁣
SURVIVING: adjective⁣⁣
continuing to exist; remaining intact⁣⁣
⁣
At some point anxiety became trendy so when people would ask “What’s wrong with you” I felt comfortable saying “I have anxiety”⁣
⁣⁣
I continued to hide behind that for a very long time. Because I felt shame.⁣
⁣⁣
My junior year of high school was the 1st time I ever thought about ending my life.⁣
⁣⁣
At 20 I found myself broke down on the side of the road wishing for a truck to hit me.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
09/2009 I had my first panic attack.⁣
⁣⁣
In 2010 I had a miscarriage. It was the 3rd time I wanted my life to end. Followed by the first attempt⁣
⁣⁣
I got help. I got medicated. I learned to cope.⁣
⁣⁣
2015 I self weaned because I thought I was fine.⁣
⁣⁣
2016 I redeveloped an eating disorder I had hid since high school. I told no one.⁣
⁣⁣
2017 I knew I needed help. But I was ashamed. I thought asking for help meant I was failing. I suffered in silence.⁣
⁣⁣
2018 Realizing I hadn’t even seen my husband struggling in the depths of heavy addiction caused me to blame myself.⁣
⁣⁣
I broke.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
09/2018 was the 3rd attempt at ending my life.⁣
⁣⁣
My friends knew I was struggling but I didn’t let them see how bad. I didn’t tell them I acted on a plan. I didn’t tell them that I had to call 911. I didn’t tell them that I left them all notes.⁣⁣
⁣
I was broken. But surviving.⁣
⁣⁣
I got help. I got medicated. I learned coping skills.⁣
⁣⁣
Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Panic Disorder. Disassociation Anxiety. Binge Eating Disorder. Depression.⁣
⁣⁣
These don’t define me.⁣
⁣
They lie to me. They confuse me. They knock me down. But they don’t define me.⁣
⁣
I spent so long hiding and struggling because of shame. Because of a stigma society has placed on mental illness.⁣
⁣
I am living proof that you can not only survive but you can thrive. Even if you can’t see that right now. It’s okay to not be okay. And it’s okay to ask for help. There is help out there.⠀⁣⁣⠀⁣
⁣
I NEED you to know that you don’t have to be ashamed. You don’t have to suffer in silence. You are not alone. You are enough.⁣
⁣
#mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

You are enough! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Pores are normal.⁣

You are enough! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Pores are normal.⁣⁣
Skin texture is normal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Stop comparing yourself to someone’s highlight reel. Or their *perfect* skin. Don’t envy their waist line. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You are worthy of love and respect. Just the way you are 🖤⁣

The internet is largely a collection of smoke and mirrors not grounded in reality. Don’t use it to set goals.

I’ve been celebrating my weirdness since the 90s

I’ve been celebrating my weirdness since the 90s...⁣
⁣
I was never the “cool kid” or the “popular girl”... I had a couple friends in high school (only two of which I kept forever) but I didn’t hang out with the “it girls”... ⁣
⁣
And I was ok with that... I never felt pressure to fit in... until maybe 2003/2004⁣
⁣
It was the internet that eventually made me feel like I had to fit in. That celebrating my different-ness wasn’t *cool*. ⁣
⁣
The only women I saw on the internet were perfectly preppy cookie cutter versions of each other. What society showed me as perfect beat down my confidence for a long time. ⁣
⁣
Later on, in this space, it was the brands that wouldn’t work with me because of my hair (one actually asked me to wear a wig 🙄) who broke me down and made me question if who I was was even good enough. ⁣
⁣
And then one day, after therapy, I decided to find that young girl again. The one who didn’t want to fit in. The one who knew every word to every Smashing Pumpkins song ever. The girl who could go from a skater girl to a goth in .5 seconds and be so damn confident. ⁣
⁣
I read an article @steffyotka wrote for Vogue awhile ago where she described #Delias as “a place to celebrate your weirdness in an aesthetic language that wasn’t about conforming but rather about expanding horizons.”⁣
⁣
And I cut those words out and stuck them in a journal... as a reminder to always expand my horizons and be unapologetic about who I am 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
So this ones for you. The weird girls. The skater girls. The 90s baby’s. Don’t ever let anyone tell you you’re not a bad bitch. LYLAS. ⁣
⁣
P.S I begged my mom for a pair of these jeans for probably half my high school years and since I definitely threw them out I just had to pay $68 to recreate this look 🤣

EVERY body deserves RESPECT...⁣ ⁣ I’ve come

EVERY body deserves RESPECT...⁣
⁣
I’ve come a long way in the journey to accepting myself and actually showing my own body respect but I still have those days ⁣
⁣
Like the day I filmed my part of this. I watched it. Proceeded to tear it apart from every angle and almost told @ashley_dorough to replace me. ⁣
⁣
In that moment it’s when I knew I needed to send it. For every woman who thinks she needs to wait for some weight loss to live her life. For every woman who has been told she’s “too big” to wear a two piece. For every woman who is missing moments because she’s afraid of putting on the suit. ⁣
⁣
This is for you. And me. Because sometimes we all need that reminder and to bust it down with Luda to really get our heads back in the game. ⁣

I found this really cool lunch spot... want the ad

I found this really cool lunch spot... want the address? 🤣⁣
⁣
Remember restaurants? 😭😭⁣
⁣
I’m trying to be funny (hello coping mechanism) but I’m struggling. I figured quarantine would be a cake walk... I worked from home, what would change? ⁣
⁣
I didn’t realize how heavily my mental health relied on actually leaving this apartment. A stroll through the park. A night out for dinner. Browsing through Target. ⁣
⁣
I’m currently sitting in my car just for a change of scenery. ⁣
⁣
If you’re struggling today, just know you’re not alone, we’re all in this together 🖤⁣
