One of my issues I have is not feeling safe around people, in myself and in this world.
So if I open up to you please don’t dismiss it. It’s a big deal for me to do that. It also shows that I can trust you.

I had my psychiatry appt this morn.I explained how my mood has been v low & I don’t get high periods anymore. She told me my Diagnosis is still the same but added that I do have stress induced psychosis a lot which makes sense. So I just have to weather out the storm folks.
It’s very difficult ⛈️

I'm not ashamed to admit I have a favourite hob ring.
People who deny that they have are lying.

‼️FYI ‼️
Saying 'commit suicide' can imply a sin, criminal offence or act, which can be stigmatising and bring a lot of shame.
The act of suicide was decriminalised in Ireland in 1993. So please avoid using the term committed suicide and use died by suicide instead.
Thanks 🙏

I was talking with a friend earlier about how the teachers in my school quite literally saved me from my trauma. I would have been dead long ago if it weren’t for them.

I’m finding the evenings and late nights really tough.
Consistently questioning my existence and why I bother fighting everyday.
Yes, I know very dark, but unfortunately that’s where my brain is at lately.

I went back to GAA training after years of not playing ( camogie is my number 1 sport ) I must say I am absolutely wrecked after it. It was a good run around with players half my age 😂 to be young and fit again 👀 I enjoyed it. #GAA

I reached out to a therapist over the weekend. They are going to meet with me to see if we can work together.
Sooo I bought this fidget ring in Smyths today as when I’m in therapy I get anxious I tend to fidget or worse dissociate. I think this will do the trick.

1/2 of me wants to apologise for always talking about my mental health. Yet the other 1/2 of me reminds me that I suffered in silence for far too long as a kid/ teenager/ adult. I know there are so many out there who suffer in silence too. I want them to know they are not alone.

Looking back through my Facebook memories makes me so sad. Jesus I was crying out for help as 15 year old.

❗️Saturday night thoughts 💭
1)I’m the very definition of a contradiction.
You see I crave to be happy yet sadness swarms throughout bloodstream.
An IV drip full of negativity, But my heart oh my heart could burst with the amount of love it contains for you and this world.

Last night I dyed my hair.
It turned out ok.
But what I’m really proud of is that I chose to use that as a coping mechanism rather than going down my usually road and using negative destructive coping mechanisms.
That’s a win for me I think.
Trying to rewire my brain 🧠

Whether our own story is related to sexual assault/rape or not we can all agree that Nikita Hands win today symbolises courage and hope.
Knowing justice has been served will no doubt give Nikita , her daughter Freya and so many women and men hope. Thank you for being so brave Nikita.

Just thinking about how se*xual violence is all about power & control & domination & just how truelly powerful Nikita Hand was today. She had all the control today, I really hope she holds on to this feeling in healing and thinks about how on this day Conor McGregor had none.
