Struggling with Mental Health

im struggling so much since this summer. i am not kind to myself when things get tough or go amiss. I feel I went backwards in my mental heath journey but i also think that theres no such thing and that its very important that i try to be more kind and gentle w myself

It’s really hard when people invalidate your journey with mental illness, the best advice I can offer you is stay true to yourself and don’t let people define your experience because they’re not living it.

Thanks to treatment I’m able to laugh at people like that. Must be nice to think a mental illness is the equivalent to a bad day. Not everyone would recommend the angle I took to deal with it but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m returning the energy I’m being given and it’s empowering.

I know. A guy at work told me to just find a hobby. At first I really considered it until I remembered every hobby I try seems to make me feel even worse.
