@QuietMagic
We been exploring new ways to deal with holidays as they never been good for me. But am doing new things of doing them. Like today we at club.
If you have lemons make lemonade with them.
@QuietMagic
What have you been exploring this week?
This week I've been exploring getting back into a more stable routine. The holidays caused me to go off track with things like sleep and journalling which I need to get back into because it's a lot easier for me to use my coping skills if other things are relatively consistent. It makes it easier to cope with random stress that is unexpected if I have safe things to look forward to still. The last DBT group I had we discussed emotional regulation before Thanksgiving which was really important to me. I had a hard time sometimes yesterday because I kept remembering my family and my mom I went no contact with. But even just me and my boyfriend felt like we had the best Thanksgiving we had in years. It was really nice and I'm feeling more inspired in general.
What is a piece of wisdom that you've personally found helpful? (Can be related to mental health, or not!)
I'm beginning to actually accept that I can't take revenge on my ex or hold resentment to him for the rest of my life. It makes me feel powerless and helpless but I really, really want to put my energy into the relationship I have now which has been healthy and safe.
@QuietMagic
Honestly, I've been trying to just get to the next day. I am in deep in my healing journey and parts of it sometimes is just putting one foot in front if the other and being ok with that. Holidays have become overstimulating and not enjoyable and i'm taking some power and control back and making them what I want them to be.
