Coping After A Breakup

Grieving throughout a process that has happened before feels like hell. I'm sure a lot of people can relate. As of now, of course memories still come from time to time but i've been coping in a healthy way about this. I've been writing in my journal everyday, that was something i did before the break up, and it's something i want to continue because i talked to my therapist about it and thats how a habit forms. This is a healthy habit i want to continue and although some days will be more difficult than others in terms of what to write about, it'll be fine because not everything has to be so deep and personal, a simple check in will work. I've been reading more as well as playing a game i really enjoy which is the telltale's walking dead. I've made my own reading journal and made it look cute and i'm going to write down the books i read within each month and give sort of a review of what i read. I'm motivated to do some boxing/ kickboxing... i want to become more active overall and play some tennis with my old coworkers and my supervisor. We have a punching bag at my home but we don't necessarily have space to hang it up in the garage so we are waiting to clear out some space and then hopefully soon i'll be able to just have fun while working out with that punching bag. I've also just been busy with work, and a lot of what work does for me is distract myself of some of the burdens i may carry. I focus on something else and eventually the thing that i worry about fades away naturally. Plus i may have a chance to work somewhere that i think i would actually enjoy working at, if i have the chance which i'm hoping i will. Seems like this new chapter for me was well needed, and it shows that i've done all i can and i have no regrets about it, if someone doesn't value you for what you are and what you've done... then just walk away from it, someone else will definitely appreciate it when it comes by.

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like

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

My Big Secret

I've had a big secret that i've kept to myself for a long time and basically within last year and this year i've come forward and told a couple of people of what's happened to me. There's only two people that actually know everything about it which was my ex and also my health counselor. But i've told more people now about it... probably about 3 more people know about this as a general topic more than knowing each detail... but any progress that i made helped me a lot in the end. It's hard to even type this out but i was sexually abused as a child by someone that i consider close to me. I don't want to give out full details on anything at this moment. But i do want to use this space as something that i could both learn from as well as heal from. This whole blog has really shaped my view on what i've been wanting to do my entire life.. and mental health is such a big influence for me. I've always love learning about psychology and it's a
