Mental (and physical) rehab is the most challenging thing I ever done.
I thought I had it covered. I learned about technologies when no one had ever used them.
I learned to fly the Airbus 320 and seaplanes in marginal weather.
And yet, this is where I am now, my world upside-down, and sometimes struggling to do basic things.
My #ThankYouTuesday goes to those supporting me, my new community, and a dear friend with which I got back in touch.
As a depressed and angry human being, today I managed to write, and sit with my thoughts and feelings while journaling. I managed to eat, and take my supplements. And even with immense back pain and feet pain, I managed a shower. I even managed to make my bed. I also managed to soak up the sun today, even though I was so so angry. Angry for what's happening all around us, angry about so many things inside me and outside of me. The world is suffering immensely and I'm sad about it. #MentalHeath
Dear people who use Mastadon.
I have a few questions.
What makes you feel like you're properly "caught up" in society? (like you've caught up to everybody)
What makes you feel like you're an adult?
And how do you deal with feelings of inadequacy, when thinking about your adult life?
I ask this because I almost always feel like I'm never catching up. I have PTSD and I am in therapy. But I'm too hard on myself. I need to see that I'm not alone. #MentalHeath#PTSD#growingpains
