It's okay to feel empty. It's okay to feel like I'm missing out on everything that other people have that I don't. It's okay to feel depressed or bored because other people's lives seem better than mine. It's okay to feel powerless in the face of others' expectations and to feel upset and heartbroken that I can't achieve happiness like they do. #Vent #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToStruggle #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #BeKindToYourself

Usein iltaisin istun työhuoneella ikkuna auki, kynttilöiden valossa, kuunnellen mustarastaan laulua ja tarkastellen päivän työn tuloksia. Tämä pieni apina loistaen kynttilän valoa muistuttaa minua aina ihmisen olevaisuudesta; kuinka tavoittelemme maallista mainetta ja materiaa, unohtaen niin helposti olla tässä hetkessä läsnä; avoimena ja nöyrin mielin, silti ylpeänä omasta itsestään ja eläen itsensä näköistä elämää.
Kultainen apina symbolisoi minulle ilkikurisuutta, myös liiallista itsetietoisuutta ja jopa julkeutta. Katsellen tuota pientä kitschimäistä otusta, maadoitan itseni tähän hetkeen ja asiat saavat oman paikkansa ja arvonsa; Me ihmiset olemme aikamoisia kultaisia apinoita. Sen tiedostaen on helpompi olla ihan vain oma itsensä, omine haavoittuvuuksineen, vajavaisuuksineen ja vahvuuksineen.
Ihanaa ja levollista iltaa juuri Sinulle! Tässä ja Nyt.

Ever been told to “just stop” picking skin, pulling hair, or biting nails? If only it were that simple.
This essential Psychology Today article breaks down why willpower isn’t the fix for BFRBs—and what actually helps instead. It’s a must-read for anyone who struggles or knows someone who does.

#Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—the ability to turn toward and acknowledge difficult thoughts and feelings (such as anger, confusion, sadness, and inadequacy) with an approach of openness and curiosity.
#selfcompassion involves responding to difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy, and understanding so that we can soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting.
Research has shown that self-#compassion dramatically boosts emotional well-being and happiness and reduces anxiety and depression. All that’s required is a shift in the direction of your attention–recognizing that as a human being, you, too, are a worthy recipient of compassion.

It was even incorporated into a dream last night where I was using it to comfort 2 small children with their anxiety. Not sure who they were since there are no small children in my life. Perhaps the girl was my younger self? 
We thanked anxiety for alerting us to danger + gave evidence we were safe.
Yesterday was an emotionally exhausting day but I listened to my body + rested. Today is meal prep.
I spoke with someone Friday evening about her trauma coping skills and have been using one of her tips to thank my anxiety. She said it seems counterintuitive but works. She said anxiety just wants you to pay attention and make sure you’re safe.
I’ve been thanking my anxiety for alerting me to danger and giving it evidence that I’m safe and it has worked the past 2 nights. 
in darkness light the love. strength isn’t just about pushing through. it’s also about giving yourself permission to rest, to feel, and to receive. you don’t have to carry everything alone. take a deep breath. soften into the knowing that you are supported, even in ways you might not see yet. keep going, one step at a time. and when you need to pause, that’s okay too. you are doing better than you think.

Today feels like a good day to latibulate.
I spoke with someone last night about her trauma coping strategies. I woke up with a headache and puffy eyes from all the crying yesterday.
The moment you see how important it is to love yourself, you will stop making others suffer
~Gautama Buddha
Normalizing using dissociation as a coping strategy and survival mechanism is one of the most compassionate things my therapist ever taught me.
It’s a common way autistic folks self regulate. I embrace it now instead of shaming myself. 
Today I will give myself compassion and loving kindness.
My trauma is apparently about more than being harmed/hurt.
My logical brain thought it had figured out the panic attack triggers. But it appears there are more triggers than I thought.
True of life, and also sometimes true in a different way of acting:
"Perhaps ironically, the good stuff is often found precisely when we let go of the maneuvers, when we surrender to the emotions that are already there."
- @TheRaDR
Not all panic attacks look the same. Some are silent but just as overwhelming.

Beginning my journey of self love and positive self talk. I know, We never thought I would say this right. Are there any resources that are either more grounded, or focus on embodying self love in your energetic practice. I am finally willing to jump on this bandwagon, but most of the stuff out there around self love feels materialistic, fake, or fluffy to me, in the wrong ways. So I figured i would ask masto. #selfLove #compassion #selfCompassion #energy #mindfulness
