The best bridge statement I’ve found is the premise that “if I were such a bad person, I wouldn’t be worrying about becoming better, so I’m actually nice for trying”. It’s an universal truth and it can be quite relieving and motivating!

In that moment, all the stress I had been carrying for months -- just lifted.

My therapist has reminded me a few times that I’m more resilient than I give myself credit for. It’s nice to have that outside confirmation and reassurance. 💛

I have had low level depression for as long as I can remember along with social anxiety to where it has effected my life to where I can not hold jobs easily and have to drink to do anything social. I have not had a date in 23 years I have such low self esteem. I was my mother's caretaker and it was extremely stressful and the overwhelming majority of the caretaking fell on me and I was the least financially or emotionally able to do this. I did it because I loved my mother so much. She died at the end of Aug 2019 and the grief is so bad still on top of having depression I am having a hard time bouncing back. I have to because I have to work and support myself before homelessness happens. It has been almost 6 months and I have barely bounced back from all of this.

2 things that have helped me with resiliency: I got a password protected note taking app on my phone, so I can keep a journal whenever, wherever, and not worry about it being read by others. And 2: I got a fitness tracker, with a goal of doing 10,000 steps per day. I've achieved this goal 9 days in a row now! It also converts activities like yoga and dancing into steps, so everything counts. It also tracks my sleep, and I can see that on average I'm getting about 5 - 6 hours a night. Before having a baby I'd get 8 hours most nights. So this makes me feel less guilty about napping when my baby naps to catch up on sleep.

My resiliency was like non existent. I used to wake up and all but one or two of my chips were instantly gone from all the trauma and mess in my head. The good things didn't lift me up at all and the bad stuff brought me really low for a long time. I wasn't worth investing in or spending time or energy on things that were just for me or to care for me. An awesome counselor, some EMDR (still going) and a lot of work later and i'm getting better. All these are a good reminder, still many that I need to work on thanks :) and I always make sure to watch ads when they pop up! My little way of supporting what you do! Thank you!

I like to think of mental health as an ocean. The sealevel is at a certain height, and it takes time to change. Then there are waves on top that change quickly. The sealevel is your base mood and the waves are the more temporary feelings. If the sealevel is high the lowest point of the wave is still not very deep, and if the sea is low even a big wave doesnt reach as high.
