Long time since I updated. But I did it. I made better life choices. I've been through hell and back but I survived. Three years without self harm. I graduated high school a year early, meaning I did both my junior and senior year in one. Now I'm in college. Studying to become a human services professional. Mostly counseling or social work. I turned 18 four months ago and have loved it.
All I had to do was say fuck it to those who made me feel like garbage. I still have my bad days and my anxiety goes crazy but I have better ways of coping. I've gotten better at helping those cope with their issues.
However, I still have one issue that stops me from having a healthy relationship. I have a problem with not confronting them when I feel something is wrong. I also tend to vent too much about what happened in the past because I hold on to it too much. I still have confidence issues as in I don't like the way I look. But there are some pictures of me that make me feel like a queen.
Besides those issues which I will eventually overcome. I'm alive. I never felt more alive. More weightless. I always struggled to be the better me. It took a lot to get where I am today. I couldn't be more happier to be where I am in life.
Fuck those who thought I couldn't be the me I am. I proved you bitches wrong. I succeeded in life and I will continue to prosper.
To those who encouraged me. I thank you. Without those words of encouragement I don't think I would be here today, mentally at least.
My motto now is "I pressed on" I will one day get it tattooed on my wrist because that is where it belongs.
To those who need a listening ear. Feel free to message me here or insta (girl_y_alex).
For those struggling and are scared to reach out for help. Don't be. It's ok not to be ok. Mental health is not some sort of incurable disease. Just remember there is someone out there that will listen. If you don't have that person, I'll be that person.This app has helped me track where I am and how my day has been. It is call I Am Sober. It's very useful.
