“Do you love yourself?”
Last October when I was struggling I was asked that question, and the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve realized I couldn’t come up with a clear answer.
Let me explain why…
In 2007, I lost my father to suicide.
After he was paralyzed in 2002 from a hunting accident, he found it difficult to live with his injury.
Five years later, he took his own life.
Then in 2006, I was paralyzed after a motocross accident.
Fortunately, I was able to learn to walk again. However, as my dad left us during my recovery period and those two events led me down a dark path.
I found myself wanting to do the same. I never attempted anything, but it was a rough time.
In 2014, I made Team Canada and was lucky to compete in sledge hockey, helping Canada to earn a bronze medal during the 2014 Paralympics Games in Sochi, Russia.
Following the games, I went through something many Olympic athletes experience - the dreaded Post Olympic Depression.
Thankfully again I never attempted or hurt myself, but it was a lot of work to get through.
If you find yourself being hard on yourself, beating yourself up, or are struggling with depression and/or having suicidal thoughts, here are five tips to help you practice self love:
1. Practice The "3 A's"
2. Ask The Focusing Question
3. Forgive Yourself
4. Write A New Vow
5. Let Go
Mental health is challenging, but you can take control of your situation. You can take control of your own thoughts, your feelings, and your behaviours by focusing on the “3 A’s” - Admit, Ask, Accept - and by asking yourself “If I loved myself, what would I do?”
It’s liberating and it will help set you free.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, or needs emotional support we urge you to head to movember.com/getsupport for crisis support options.
