I decided to start a new thread, my new chapter in my life is going to focus on healing my traumas, building resilience and self-worth and taking the steps of achieving mood stability. I am praying this year will be better than the last. Last year the SI got really intense, was so close to losing hope and I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces like shattered glass. It all still feels overwhelming, I have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I think I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful about the future.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@amber22, I do have professionals supports and helplines, just don’t have many people I can talk to about things in my personal life. It’s hard wearing this mask. It’s lonely.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@amber22, I just hope the heartache settles down too. Living on the edge is hard, this depression, social anxiety and trauma symptoms are all so crippling. Migraines can get awful too. I guess I should be grateful I’ve managed to stay alive. 💖

@amber22, I hope you are well ❤️ .
Managed to get out of bed eventually, it was really hard. I always wake up with a sense of dread, which makes getting up difficult.
Hoping these glasses keep my migraine from flaring up, I still have some stuff to go through for tom's class. I am at uni tom, so pretty anxious and excited about that.
