I’m glad you’re taking necessary steps to take care of yourself and your mental health after everything that’s happened to you. I dealt with identity crisis in my mid-20s and sought help. That’s when I discovered that I had a lot of underlying trauma that was affecting my decision making through my adult life. From the I learned to not forget but forgive the people who did bad things, as well as to let go of certain values that no longer serves me. I came from the Philippines so there were certain values that they instilled in my brain that I had to let go. I experienced grieving for letting go of certain aspects about my life that I thought was beneficial. It was hard but sometimes you just have to cry it out. Fast forward to current time, I learned that grieving doesn’t have to occur when someone dies, it can happen too when a part of you no longer exists. And it had helped me adapt to certain situations and became more resilient because I had let go of what once was. Idk if I make sense, but I just wanna say that grieving is a good thing and it’ll allow you to let go of the past and be in the moment. Take care and I’m looking forward to more of this type of content💕.
Thanks for taking the time to share and respond with so much detail!! We all have so much in common and it’s definitely nice to hear about others struggles and know we are FAR from alone.
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing. If you already like walking, perhaps your hobby should be exploring all the different sidewalks, dirt trails, and parks around your area? Maybe you take up hiking (although I’m not sure what your options are in Florida when it comes to hiking) - maybe you take a little mini vacation for a hiking adventure. If you like dogs, maybe you volunteer at a shelter or use your skills to put together a bake sale fundraiser for a local shelter. That may fill the “doing things for others but with boundaries” column. I hope you find pieces of yourself along the way. I haven’t watched your move video yet, but I imagine moving across the country really allows you to reinvent yourself that much more easily. I recently moved myself, and it is so freeing (but also terrifying) to find new friends. Stay well, my friend. I’m rooting for you. ❤
WOW! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment and one totally tailored to what you heard in the video, appreciate that so much. These are incredible ideas and really helped me think more -
