Self Care has been a crucial part of caring for one's mental health for many decades but only a certain number of citizens of society are practicing them! The rest continue to be stubborn, closed-minded and blind to the invisible illness epidemic an...
My parents think they know me inside out, but they truly don't. They don't ever try to think creatively. Because if they did try, then so many things would be different. Everything that goes around in the house, would be so different, better, healthier environment and better for their mental health even though I'm the one that has cared for my mental health.
They also tell me to wear some makeup (foundation/coverup, mascara) when going out to places in public. But I don't care what people think of me anymore. I finally have started on the journey of loving myself. At the certain point in that journey, I actually stopped thinking of what people would think if I did something, or an outfit I'd choose to wear one day.
I'd only think of what I feel like wearing, what I feel comfortable in as for I'm finally comfortable in my own skin, for the first time. I like myself the way I am and if I choose to go out in public with just me and my natural beauty, then that's what I'm gonna do.
I finally am able yo say and believe that I accept all that I am just the way I am. I'm imperfectly perfect, and I'm completely happy with that!
After watching Penelope or three times (gonna watch it for a 4th time tomorrow after my doctors appointment), having her be able to say "I like myself the way I am." ~ that's courage and a lot of other things too, and also not easy. And also proud to achieve something like that!
My parents and sister (Emily) don't understand my logic and everything in between the lines of why I'm not sociable around Emily and others except Courtney (even though lately I haven't been as sociable as I normally am = numb symptom from a mental illness.
And many other things that they don't seem to understand, respect, accept or support for. But my doctors appointment tomorrow @ 10:30am and next Monday @ 3:15pm will definitely change all this somehow.
However end whatever happens in both appointments and what comes from them, is what I believe is best for the whole situation, my parents, sister and myself overall. Your thoughts, Happiers?
