Coping Thoughts #2

I needed to write tonight... i went into a crying fit for the past hour because i've had some memories resurface about my previous relationship. I'm still healing so this feeling of pain is still very present and i'm just trying to get better, tomorrow it'll be easier for me at least because i'll be in school and be able to distract myself.. and that's usually what happens, throughout the weekdays i can focus on myself but by the weekend sometimes i can be really good and other times i can be really bad. I don't feel like cutting but i just feel a sharp pain in my chest because i'm still grasping the concept that it's over. I love this person and i really care about him so that's why i want to give him a chance away from me... well technically he initiated that but i'm trying my hardest to follow it now instead of questioning it and arguing about it, even though i still have so many questions about him and about myself. He doesn't like when i blame myself, but in this situation where someone tells you they don't love you anymore i feel like complete shit and i'm crying right now thinking of how many things went wrong with me and i can't help but think was this all because of me? was i the one to initiate this to happen? was it destined that we wouldn't work out so that i would have to really take care of myself?... my mind is racing with so many thoughts... i feel drained, i almost feel like a zombie just writing out anything i can write right now. There's so many things i'd love to say to my ex to let him know that i never wanted to cause him harm in any form. I still love him very dearly and i know sooner or later i'm going to have to stop this love for him... this emotional love for him and soon love him as just a friend, it's something that he wants and i should respect it without questioning it but it's hard not to when there's so much blanks that are not filled. I guess that's just my thought process. I want to end this post here because at this point i'm feeling better and i'm not crying anymore, so thank you to whoever gets a chance at reading this shorter post.

Overcoming Self Harm Trigger Warning

Before I begin to talk about everything that's happened with me lately i want to put this up in case anyone who is reading this needs to talk to someone... National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 . I'm not exactly sure where to start with this post. I have a lot of racing thoughts as to what exactly i want to say. I'll start off by stating my age, i'm currently 20 i will be turning 21 in august. I'm very young, i'm aware of it but it doesn't mean my emotions and or feelings are not credible to this topic because i've dealt with a lot of shit from my childhood up until now and experiences always give a lasting impression to me at least of how you can shape yourself as a better person.. what do these experiences give you? whether it's bad or good.. do you make something out of it? I'm still trying to process that within myself. I have had a traumatic event happen in my life when i was very young... and till this date it is my bi...

Why I Want to Become a Substance Abuse Counselor

So i never really have given much depth as to what i wanted to do in terms as a life goal of mine. If everything in life goes well for me i'd like to become a substance abuse counselor and although this image says drugs, substance abuse could also be alcohol and different forms of substance abuse could also include other addictions like eating. Tonight i want to share why exactly i want to become a substance abuse counselor and what led me to this path. My older brother is actually an alcoholic and most of my life i think i just ignored that fact, i didn't have much of a reaction as to how i felt about it because i would often be blind-sighted of what was happening around me, even though i'm sure i could pick up on cues and see the patterns that were happening, i chose to ignore them instead. As i got older it was more prevalent and it was hard to ignore because often times that was all that was talked about in family conversations. This is sort of an on going battle, ...

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time. My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...
