Mental Health Warrior

A twitter account for all things #mentalhealth & #mentalillness related. I’m managing a #bipolar diagnosis & have a history of eating disorders, mostly #bulimia

Fighting a #mentalhealth problem or #mentalillness makes you awesome. Fact.

@LaLaLOfficial I know this feeling only too well 😞 Having this attitude to it is honestly a big chunk of the battle though. Let people support you. You’ve completely got this! x

For me the overlap includes some of the most difficult bits to deal with. They frustrate me so much which feeds into everything else. I’m not so good at the moment so I’m trying to focus on self care. What do you do when you’re feeling #anxious #depressed or both? #bipolar

@mydogiscutest My 8 week old cockapoo pup Freyja chilling on the back of the sofa

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

Today I brought my new #cockapoo #puppy Freyja home. I am madly in love. I know that she is going to help me with my #mentalillness #bipolar so much as a therapy dog, and I promise her I will be the best hooman she could ask for.

At the minute I can manage about two hours sleep before being wide awake. #insomnia sucks. Plus I have such a busy week at work coming up that I need all the sleep I can get 😖 #anxiety #stress #mentalhealth

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

Stressing about the upcoming week which is going to be work hell. I’m going to put my aromatherapy diffuser on, listen to some relaxing music, then do some meditation. It may not make things better but it won’t make them worse 🙂 #stress #stressrelief #anxiety

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

I have a #mentalillness and I have NEVER attacked or physically hurt anyone else. This is because I’m not a complete fuckwit. It has nothing to do with whether I have a mental illness or not #bipolar #FuckStigma

[Rachel @bluebirbmom]

Stop linking mental illness to mass shootings. Stop villainizing mental illness.

Mentally ill people are more likely to harm themselves than others.

Stop spreading stigma.

@ScarredNtScared @SummerInTheCity I read your book on holiday and loved it!

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

Had a bit of #anxiety attack whilst trying to do aqua aerobics last week and had to leave in tears after ten minutes. A friend has offered to go with me next time which will hopefully help. It’s particularly shit when it comes from nowhere #MentalHealthMatters #bipolar

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

Here’s a photo of me and Freyja who I’m going to train to be my own #therapy #dog and I get to take her home in 12 days. I think you’ll agree she’s a cutie! I’m so in love ❤️ #puppylove #puppy #cockapoo #depression #anxiety #bipolar #mentalhealth

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

I’ve done this thousands of times and will do thousands more. It doesn’t matter how dark the place you are in is, you can come out of it. If I can, you can. Every day you dust yourself off and try again be proud like I’m proud of you ❤️ #depression #bipolar #anxiety #mentalhealth

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

In less than two weeks it will be time to take my therapy dog Freyja home. No more loneliness in the evenings or at weekends. Something else to think of and concentrate on. I can’t wait. #mentalhealth #bipolar #depression #mentalillness #therapy

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

I finally picked my therapy dog. She is a 2 day old cockapoo called Freyja. I put her on my chest so she could feel my breath and heart beat and she stopped crying instantly. Meant to be! 🥰

#IntuitiveEating is both easy and difficult at the same time. Easy is knowing that there is no banned food and you eat as your hunger dictates. Difficult is challenging the thoughts that go with eating the previously banned food.

@fight_recovery Have you ever read the book Body Positive Power? It really helped to change my outlook.

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

@mollyjforbes @bodyconspodcast I really enjoyed season 1 so I’m looking forward to season 2! Keep up the good work :)

Disadvantages of taking a sleeping tablet& still not being able to sleep... 1) Waking up to emails from amazon thanking me for my order at 2am, 2) Waking up to an empty packet of what was half a Jamaican ginger cake at the side of my bed. No recollection 😂 #insomnia #bipolar

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

@katelallyx Vikings!

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

@butfirstxanax If nothing else it does feel nice. Almost like the blanket is giving me a hug 😂

[Mental Health Warrior @theMHwarrior]

My new weighted blanket is on my bed ready to go. Is it sad that I’m so excited about bed time?! 😂 😴 🤞 #bipolar #insomnia
