Hey, please check this out! Shout out to this blog!!! Safe haven to share therapy experiences.
My sister and I are going to binge-watch Peppa Pig
Yep, during her Christmas break, we are going to watch Peppa Pig. We all have heard of the news about how's it a bad influence, so we're going to see it for ourselves, and try to see what kids like about it :D
NO LONGER POSTING
(I thought this post already uploaded but I guess not :/) Goodbye. Thank you for everyone who has supported me. I'm giving up this blog and moving on to another one, one where I'm no longer afraid to be honest and lose followers and be told what to do. One where I can choose not to answer asks and off them if I have to. My other blog will be the real me. I made this blog for my followers. My other blog is for myself. I'm not gonna delete this blog and I'm not gonna tell you the new blog, unless you message me. Goodbye!
When my depression comes back to haunt me.
Who ya gonna call?
Me: My Therapist!
I ain't afraid a no depression.
I walked my dog today.
And I'm having a panic attack... again. Like this happens MAJORITY of the times I've walked my dog. Fun fact: Last time I walked my dog, I had an anxiety attack and was hallucinating and was paranoid. And it's kind of funny when I walked today and saw the same things I saw that day. Like the picture of Jesus and Mary with lights around it. I had thought before that they were secret messages from aliens.

How to Tell Your Friend That You Need a Break From Supporting Them
When I worked at a mental health crisis centre, I couldn’t believe how many people came to us, not because of their own problems, but because they were so lost in a friend’s pain that they couldn’t take it anymore. I saw a lot of people who were so worn down from helping someone else that they couldn’t sleep, eat, socialize or focus at work or school. They were consumed with guilt every time they put down their phones, went to sleep, or dared to enjoy themselves and have a good time. All because they had no idea how to set boundaries. Helping your friends through a tough situation is a wonderful and noble thing to do, but it only works if you’re mentally in a place to do so. If you’re dealing with issues or mental illness of your own, you’re not always capable of being someone else’s shoulder to cry on 24/7. And that’s okay. Sometimes, you have to put yourself first. You can’t help someone else if you’re a mess yourself. You can’t save a drowning person with a sinking ship. Telling a friend that you’re overwhelmed and you need a break is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do. Honesty is the best policy - don’t go radio silent on them, or avoid answering their messages. Be honest about how you’re feeling, and what you need from them. If you’re stuck on what to say and how to start the conversation, here are a few suggestions. Feel free to copy them exactly: It’s really hard for me to admit this, but I’ve been feeling like I’m on the verge of a breakdown lately. I love you and I care about you, but I need to take some time to take care of myself for a while. I’m really concerned about you, but I honestly don’t know how to deal with this and I’m worried I’ll say the wrong thing. I really think that you should talk to a professional about this. This is hard for me to admit, but I have a lot going on in my life right now, and it’s getting to be too much for me. Would it be okay if we talked about lighter stuff for the next little while?
You deserve more support than I can give you. I think you need to tell a close family member or professional about what’s going on.
It seems like every time we talk about this, things are worse for you. I’m worried that my advice isn’t helping you at all, and I think you should talk to someone more qualified than me.
I’m really worried for your safety, and it breaks my heart, but I can’t keep you safe all by myself. Would it be okay if we told someone else what was going on?
I’m sorry, but I can’t answer my text messages 24 hours per day. I really want to make sure that you always have someone to turn to if I’m not available. Are there some other people you would trust with this? I can help you tell them, if you’re not comfortable doing it by yourself. I hope these suggestions are helpful - best of luck to all of you, and make sure to put your own mental health first when you have to.
This is a great list. When I’m struggling, it can be hard for me to get a read of my friends and family (i.e. I tend think they are ignoring me when it’s just life). I would so prefer to hear that someone needs some space than lose a friendship.

Hi! Since you are still recovering, do you still plan to get the right amounts of carbs per meal like the right amount of rice soon? Cause i think you need more than spoonfuls of rice... :)
Yeah, I do take the required amount. I believe I'm recovered now. I do take in carbs and I take as much as I want and put it on my plate. I eat anything now. No such things as safe food. All food are safe except poison.

I think it's quite diffciult to recover fully. It took me months. I can relate with the rice but you should consider getting used to being more than full during meals. It's not overeating 'cause you need more for your body. To an ed person it may seem a lot of food but slowly try to get used to being more than full and eating more. Think of it as a way to taking self-care. You can do it :)
I know. I am doing it. And I'm happy with where I am right now. I'm taking in rice and feeling satisfied after. I think my Psychiatrist believes I'm well now, even my therapist. I believe I'm well now.
Anonymous asked:
What kind of therapies are usually given to bipolar disorders?
CBT, I guess. And talk therapy. But those are more for me. I've already taken mindfulness classes and family therapy. They've all helped a little bit. I wish there was a magical miraculous kind of therapy that will conquer my disorder and make it disappear but no suck luck. You really have to work for it. Being a Christian has really helped me though :) I believe that one day, it will make my disorder miraculously disappear. (Though I'm not suddenly gonna stop taking me meds. Geez, God made meds for a reason.)

This is so random but I just love cheetos. I mix them in ice cream and chocolste. I know it's a weird combo but it works. It's also good in grilled cheese sandwiches. Weird combos but they workXD
I never tried them that way but I don't know if I want to try XD But hey, if it works for you. I usually eat fries with ice cream.Thanks for the ask! :D

I also have trust issues with people i don't know how to work it out with people but hopefully like you i can develop a relationship with my T :)
I hope so too :) Trust me, it took me a loooong time. It took around 9 months to figure it all out with my current Psychiatrist. I don't know how long it took for me and my Therapist, probably 6+ months. I usually start with hating them though XD

Maybe you can also try being creative with food like making fried rice instead of plain rice. I usually have salted fish rice or garlic rice because it tastes better than plain rice :D
I do sometimes. I like garlic rice (cuz easy to make) and Chinese fried rice.

I love cheetos but jalapeno flavor!!! I also use it as a batter for porkchops. I also make it as a coating for mozarella sticks. Just visiting your blog and it's kinda cool actually. :D
YES, JALAPENO CHEETOS. I like that extra spiciness. Yeah, I heard you can do that. Also fried chicken coating. Haha XD

That post about getiing the right amount of carbs is what I usually do too and it really helped me. just need to form the habit of getting the right amount of rice. The spoons can start your recovery that's the first part of it. The second part is START with MORE RICE like get half of what your body needs about 1/2 to 3/4 Cup. That's a better way to be healthier. You can get extra spoons after until you rech the rIGHT mount like 1 Cup and a more than that. You could work with that. Good luck :)
Thank you :) Yeah, that's what I've been trying to do, getting enough amount of rice on my plate. I'm getting better at being free. I just ate Cheetos, wooh! Pssh, serving size is 21 pieces as if anyone's going to stop after 21!
Managed to capture this from my bathroom window. Would've picture things beyond the grails but I'm afraid to lose my phone 😂 #WhenYouWakeUpEarly

I also didn't like my psychiatrist but now she's one of the most important people in my life. I guess people come into our Iife for a reason
I actually spoke to one of my friends who is nurse and she was like maybe you hated her because it's hard to trust people. And she's right. I do have trust issues. It's hard to not hate a person who you are so vulnerable to and who can say anything that may criticize you but for the better. I do trust P now. Lying down on her couch, really comfortably, means that I trust her enough to be at such a vulnerable position. I know she won't attack me and that she won't leave me :)Thanks for the ask! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Trust is just so fricking hard to give.
