Mental Health Help

BPD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD. I try and tweet to document how I feel, and hopefully I can help. We must tackle suicide's stigma together, and help others

Today I saw someone that looked like my abuser and it almost sent me spiralling. I am not the same vulnerable child I was 10 years ago.

I'm so happy that it didn't make me have a complete meltdown. Small steps are significant steps!!

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

It haunts me day after day but I've made a promise to myself that I will get better and be in a position to help others

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

I suppress how much my childhood trauma hurts and terrifies me everyday and I wish that one day I'll be able to speak about it to help others

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

mechanisms. I have trauma that I will never be able to talk about. It still affects my daily life- I've constantly blamed myself for the way I've behaved, but we have to understand that it's a defence mechanism. It is part of the illness.
Sending love to all ❤

Childhood trauma, borderline personality disorder and PTSD often go hand in hand. People suffering from these conditions may act differently due to walls they've put up for their protection. It can ruin relationships and opportunities, but we act like that because of survival...

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

At the end of it all, I want to be proud of myself

Relapse is part of recovery.

Sending love to everyone struggling today ❤ you've got this :))))

The semi colon is one of the most important symbols of my life. It represents choosing not to end your life, just like an author uses one not to end a sentence, but to continue it.

We wake up everyday, tired from fighting yesterday's demons.

Today's demons are present as always.

But there's a slim portion of me which believes it'll get better.

So we hold on and keep fighting through

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

I may be a very damaged and broken person, but I'm piecing myself together bit by bit.

I'm learning to love myself, and my story will have a happy ending, because it's what we all deserve.

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

Ignore the voice telling you that you're worthless, and that you've failed everything and everyone. It isn't true in the slightest, and if no one has said it to you today, you are beyond amazing ❤

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

Don't give up if you have relapsed into harmful habits.

Taking each hour at a time, each minute if you have to, is something that saved my life. I'm doing it now, there's no shame at all

Life's a journey and we try to keep our head up through it, despite the pain we feel.

❤

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

There are so many difficulties and stresses in life that you can't explain to anyone, regardless of how close they are

Your behaviour changes. So does your attitude. You lose sight of the "true" version of yourself

I'm praying for everyone who feels like that ❤ We will survive

There is so much evil and hate in the world, so this quote by Princess Diana is something we should all try and do:

"Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you"

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

Depression can:
-Make you lose track of time
-Make you forgetful
-Cause mood swings
-Alter your diet
-Change the way you see yourself
-Damage relationships with those you love
-Make you withdrawn

You aren't going crazy, and I promise you'll get better :)

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

It's okay to feel broken.

There's nothing wrong, missing, or incomplete about you ❤

[Mental Health Help @suicidalstigma]

Fighting your own mind is exhausting and overwhelming
