Coping mechanisms

As stated previously, I am very pleased with my mental state as of right now, overall. However, I am only human and will fall back into a weird place every so often, when life happens. 

My previous coping mechanism was writing this blog, today I have bought a book written by Danielle Simpson called ‘The mindset mission’ and I believe this is what will help me cope with how I feel right now. This proves to me that coping mechanisms do change and I believe that is because we as people change.

The way I feel today is nowhere near in comparison to how I felt before and I also believe I won’t ever feel the same way again. 

Hang in there guys, life will always be stressful and complicated. We can get cope with it, in healthy ways. I hope.

How people see you

Morning, I’ll get right to it.  So, I was in the middle of a conversation with a work colleague today and another colleague joined in and I reacted to something they said. For some odd reason this made me think about how people see me. I can’t see how I look to others, my body language, my facial expressions, I’m blind to how I look to other people. I’m not sure how I feel about this, I mean I would really like to know how I look to other people.  Have you ever thought this too or is this just how my mind works? I bet you’re thinking about it now though right?  BCL says

Being in love

On my way to work this morning I noticed a young school couple. The looks on their faces, looking at one another you can see how desperately they needed one another. Love makes you feel as if you cannot live without another person, wild as it is, it is true. Isn't it mad scary how someone you didn't even know existed can make you feel that they are your everything? It's also scary that love starts so young as well. People love, love and I also love, love. I think it is so wonderful to see love all around you. It makes me happy to know that two people can make each other feel like they can get through anything together. You believe in one another so much, that life doesn't seem so bad. Again, love is so powerful and so scary because on the flip side, if people break up, one or maybe both of those people will feel like their world is shattered. They feel this way even though they were fine before they met that other person and they will be fine (in time) without them agai...

Meds free and I'm totally fine

Hi there, long time no read. The last post I wrote was about the weaning off of my anxiety medication. I‘ve actually been off of them for a few weeks now and I must say mentally, I feel in control. Alas, with every positive you have to throw a negative in there, you know, to balance it out. I wouldn’t say I’m suffering from insomnia but I will say trying to relax enough to fall asleep is clearly a struggle. Right now, as we speak, I’m exhausted. I’m totally ready for bed but I cannot shut my mind off. I do eventually fall asleep but it’s not easy. On the other hand, I will say that I’m extremely proud of myself for what I’ve come through. I am managing my stress levels very well (if I do say so myself) but (there is always a but) my body is still reacting subconsciously to the stress and I think it always will. I react physically to stress and anxiety, and this has taken place for as long as I can remember. In conclusion, anxiety sucks, but can be overcome. I don’t really have much...
