I apologize for being MIA over the last week. I was really struggling and having such bad days I didn't even want to reach out. But after my therapy session yesterday, I started feeling better, out of nowhere. And it continued. Today I had the best day in several months, felt like my old self again. I wasn't forcing myself to smile and it wasn't dreadful to talk to people, felt motivated. I can't understand how my mood could change so quickly despite months of feeling depressed. I pray it lasts but has anyone experienced this and can anyone explain this drastic change? I hope everyone is doing the best they can💕

I’m glad you’re feeling better! I totally understand what you went through. I go through days of not wanting to talk or do anything. And then out of nowhere I’m feeling better. It doesn’t make sense. It could be the weather, maybe when I feel caught up on sleep, a good conversation with my mom or sister or maybe the mind is fed up and takes action. The important thing is to talk about it. Getting other people’s feedback is good. I’m glad you’re doing that. Xoxo 😘
I find that my life is like a roller coaster, and I accept that. I need a lot of sleep, I need to be out in nature getting exercise and sunlight with my dog, I need lots of good water and food (like crazy health food) and B vitamins and Omegas...and even with all the extra work to try to be my best, I always end up in the trench...being kind to ourselves and not letting other's who have no clue tell us what we should feel like and when is also important. I have to explain to my friends and family what my life is like. My brain is very special, but I cherish my life now, and try to give myself comfort even when I am not performing like others. I used to beat myself up, now I defend myself and educate others about mental health and trauma and brain injuries. Some people can rocket out to the space station or climb Mt. Everest, and I am very proud of them : ) I am good at other things, like being patient with myself and others and not giving up on others understanding me and my special brain : ) and getting better! I am glad you love dogs, they are great friends...I have Complex PTSD so I am learning all about my special brain and it makes perfect sense now why my brain is different, trauma while my brain was developing and brain injuries.
