Healing is possible. PTSD doesn’t only affect soldiers, it can impact anyone who has lived through trauma (significantly distressing experiences). Symptoms like flashbacks (thinking about the experience), hypervigilance (being constant alert) and emotional numbness can feel
You are good enough! You can make progress this year! Scrolling through social media at the start of the year can quietly mess with your head. New titles. Big moves. Big goals. Big promotions. “Grateful for this next chapter.” And suddenly, despite everything you’ve achieved, a

No one has life perfectly put together.
In reality there is nothing like perfection, we are all trying to survive the best way we can. Yes, some people have found formulas (maybe un/consciously) that work for them but this can change anytime.
What you need is time & a formula!
These days everyone has an opinion about everything, even on things they know nothing about.
We are quick to become judges on matters we don’t have any knowledge or facts on.
The funny thing is we all live in glass houses, pray make stone no go hit your window.

Cheers to the silent struggles of being a father! No one but fathers would understand the psychological burden. We are not expected to show weakness, we are not expected to ask for appreciation or to tell our stories yet we are expected to show up every day and we can’t complain.
You people hate your fathers. Stop the "he wasn't present" BS
300 level, there was no money at home, I couldn't pay fees or lodge rent. My dad was getting depressed but tried to hide it.
A few days to resumption, he and I drove to his friend's house by 8pm. The man was at a meeting, but we waited till 9/10 thereabouts.
When he was done, he attended to us. I suspected the reason we were there, but it had never happened before and didn't think it would.
My beloved father said to his friend:
"My son will be resuming school next week. For now I don't have any money to send him back. Look at him here. Please lend me xxx amount; I'll repay as soon as I get it. He's in 300 level. He has 2 years to go."
I wept inside because I had to witness my dad borrow money to send me back to school.
A lot of you come to talk bullshit about your dads, about how he didn't bond and other stupid things.
If your fathers had carried you to the places they went to earn, borrow or beg for money, you wouldn't say they didn't turn up for you.
I understand how easy it is to fall into mummy's bosom and never crawl out. But you think provision is just dropping money in accounts and in mummy's lap?
Do you know how that money was gotten? Do you know how many people didn't go to school because their father's died?
Fuck bonding! Fuck being present!!
All I needed from my father was being alive to provide for me. I didn't need him toiling around the house and gisting with me.
Many of my friends lost their fathers at an early age. I was praying everyday for my dad to come back home. That was the only form of presence I needed.
Shame on you if you become successful and abandon your father because of stupid emotional crap. Especially when you're a man.
I really enjoyed listening to this programme, and this Chris Abojei guy is very sound and practical. Thanks @chrisabojei I randomly met the programme and was almost changing it. I was like, but I have family (wife+kids). I ended up finishing the programme
Take a moment each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for. Whether it's the people in your life, a beautiful sunset, or even a small kindness from a stranger, gratitude can boost your mood and overall well-being.

Starting the day with a moment of mindfulness can set a positive tone for the entire week.
Be present! Be non-judgmental if your experience! Go through your experiences intentionally! Be mindful not mind full!

All people who are suicidal are ambivalent wanting to die and wanting to live. Keep in mind that suicidality is a fluid state and can change dramatically in the space of a few hours.

It's important to note that individuals with OCD may not necessarily experience all of these symptoms, and the severity can vary. OCD can significantly impact daily life, causing distress and interfering with functioning.
