Talking about suicide and mental health can be awkward at best and terrifying at worst, but it also just might save a life!
Look at what's underneath.
I looked like I had it all just before I burnt out. No one would have know the level of suffering underneath.
It's OK to tune into yourself and check out what's underneath and it's OK to double check with others if you think they're struggling.
Don't be an iceberg. Don't hide what's underneath. Its highly likely that one day a titanic (for me it was grief, shock and over working) will crash into you and it'll all come to the surface anyway.
There's always help out there. The @samaritanscharity are amazing if you need someone to talk to or theres a variety of other charities for specific issues like @mindcharity
@calmzone or crisis centres for childhood abuse(even if you're not a child anymore), domestic violence, rape and other specific traumas.
Its OK to not be OK. It's OK to ask for help.
Much love

LET GO & GROW
Why do we hold on so tightly to past mishaps?
Sometimes the mind clings to times that are not easy to understand, and sometimes the heart clings to times we were not our authentic selves.
Sometimes we try to hold ourselves accountable for veering from our path.
In fear of repeating the same error, we keenly recall our mistakes. In some instances, this can mutate into an unhealthy obsession that weighs us down from healing.
Stop blaming yourself for what you did not know.
No more could have, would have or should have.
Shift that energy into self-forgiveness.
⭐️Reflect on what happened in the past.
⭐️Remind yourself that no one is perfect.
⭐️Note both the aspects that went well and room for growth
⭐️Take accountability for your actions
⭐️Make genuine amend with yourself/others
⭐️Consider how this would be different in the future with your new knowledge.
⭐️Uphold your self-respect by using what you have learned to help in the future.

Anxiety is something that doesn’t discriminate. It can pop up every now and then when something big is happening in life, or can be there to greet you every morning when you wake up. While anxiety can be a huge challenge, thankfully, there are many “tricks” proven to help! Next time you’re feeling anxious, give one of these a shot - you never know what might work for you. ❤️
Mental health issues do not discriminate. They don’t care how rich you are, how famous you are or how beautiful you are. All of these people we idolise and think have the perfect lives have admitted to struggling with mental health issues. We are all battling this together. You are not weird, you are not an attention seeker. We’re all doing the best we can ❤️❤️❤️
Try to forgive yourself. It was never your fault. #repost @b.e.frank #stopapologizing #ptsdrecovery #ptsdquotes #ptsdsurvivor #cptsd #cptsdrecovery #cptsdsurvivor #cptsdwarriors #cptsdawareness #complexptsd #complextrauma #traumarecovery #traumabonding #traumahealing #gaslighting #gaslightingawareness #narcissticabuse #emotionalabuseawareness #emotionalabusesurvivor #emotionalwellness #mentalhealthhelp #trauma #traumainformed #apologizing #ptsdsupport #ptsdtherapy #complexptsd #traumatherapy #traumatherapist
