Upping since it's mental health month

Went to the doctor and got the results of my physical. Everything in my blood work is straight in terms of chemical imbalances which may be affecting my mental health.

Which means that..... I'm screwed because now all these issues upstairs are a product of my brain. Im a bit embarrassed and scared.

My job recommend an alcohol abuse screening today it’s a Breh doing it. Went well till the end when he kinda went on a fatherly rant about how he don’t see how I’m depressed etc etc even though the town I’m in is 85% Mexican I can do the same things I did back in Atlanta. I can’t fault him, he’s speaking from his POV but I don’t agree.

I’m also seeing a psychologist on a weekly basis, which is great to be able to talk through the issues but sucks bc I can’t really touch on things that went on prior to me coming into the military. If they think my life was jacked up prior to coming in, they’ll try and lowball me when I go to file with the VA for mental health.It’s almost like staying on code and spouting symptoms (even though all of them are valid) but explaining to her they manifested strictly bc of my military service. But I know it’s the best move years down the line to get the disability.

It’s a double edged sword. You ever reflect and be like damn what happened to me, how did I get myself in this?

Once the work starts of healing your mind, the body must adapt to the changes and become one with your mind.

It's been a year since I quit my job and was severely depressed. I used to tear up throughout the day because of all of the shyt I was holding onto. Made the decision to go to therapy in September and have continued it weekly or bi-weekly.

I've sorted and dealt with most of my issues and I haven't had the dark days with the sun out in months.

Writing this post got me crying a bit because I know where I was and how I felt; seemed impossible to get any clarity or happiness from that time.

I was busy living on a broken foundation, it's amazing I didn't crack earlier in my life. Now things are looking up, I found who I am and what it is I must do in this world.

Even talking in first person and about my experiences is something I would NEVER do. Through guided sessions my therapist helped me to say I and see with my eyes rather than a third person view.

If you guys can get a good therapist keep going. Keep looking if you haven't found one. It's a great experience and will help you sort yourself out. This is a busy world and we are doing all of the time. We often don't give our minds respite through all of the baggage we are holding.



Keep your head up. We're all going to make it. Get a support system and stay focused.

How are you brehs doing in here?

It's summer time and expectations to hit the club, beach and vacation is going to be at an all-time high. Don't fall victim of what the next person is spending their time, money and energy on.

Build your internal value and wear your newfound powers like a suit. Check in with yourself; breathe, drink water do what you enjoy.

I believe in y'all. We are going to make it.

What's up brehs. it's been rough, just ended my relationship and I feel like I'm starting to slip and my depression been getting worse. I wrote my family goodbye notes for some odd reason but out them in a drawer and trying to sleep. Everyday seems like a battle but with everyday I wake up is a battle I have feel I have won. Am I scared I may lose this battle? Yes but I feel I can overcome and this thread might be a tool I can use

I've gotten a scheduled appointment with my therapist on Friday and I'm open to going back on the depressants again

Stay blessed brehs
