How Do You Get Rid Of Shame And Guilt?

So a lot has been racing through my mind... a lot of feelings of shame and guilt really. I wasn't able to get a therapy session in for this week due to my schedule and now i have to wait until the 21st in order to go. It's not that bad, but it made me realize just how much therapy really helps me as something to go to as a habit for myself and my own health. I can't let go of this feeling of shame i have with myself, it's something i feel in the moment and it fades away and comes back again just to spite me. Guilt is my enemy, it's not me. I should have no guilt because as a child i did nothing wrong, so why do i still have this feeling within me? I don't know why, it just happens to be like i'm never truly contempt with myself... there's always something to perfect.. and it gets tiring trying to be this ideal version of yourself when in the back of your brain all you have is guilt and shame waiting for you, seeking that release from within, waiting for the perfect opportunity to dive in. It's somehow even controlled how my days will go, and i don't want to keep this going, i want to be able to be me... without so many complications.

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...
