ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
I’ll go first. Melania Trump high key asking congress to arrest husband Donald Trump. By demanding Jeff Epstein’s associates be held accountable. She literally got up that day and said let me add to his crash out, by pushing him over the complete edge. Tell us you can’t stand that nigga without telling us. Via: VintageFazhion
Unfortunately there is no cure for narcissism, the only treatment is extensive and consistent therapy. Something that can only happen if the narcissist is willing to see their faults and seek help, an unlikely scenario. Otherwise don’t waste your time, they know exactly what they’re doing. This is a vicious personality disorder, the demon attached to it is Leviathan, filling them with pride and darkness.
A narcissist ALWAYS needs a scapegoat to project on. They will always find a replacement, needing a supply, while putting on a facade to everyone else of being a good person. One of the best things you can do is document everything, otherwise you’re allowing them and the people they control to narrate your story. I don’t play that shit, mama always has receipts. You’re not crazy, they are. Via: Say_No_To_Narcissistic_Parents
Trauma and healing rewires the brain. Evaluating where you are mentally and emotionally is critical to self-care, which is health care. As someone diagnosed with PTSD due to extensive abuse, I thought I’d be stuck in the eye of the storm for the rest of my life. Taking baby steps everyday has significantly decreased my tiggers and improved my overall well-being. Continuously acknowledging my truth, that I wasn’t better, meditation, exercise, especially yoga, journaling, breath work, walks in nature, ground me, relaxing my nervous system. Finding the right therapist, a black woman like myself, who aligned with my spiritual beliefs was a game changer.
Please remember you’re not damaged, you’re someone responding to what’s happened or happening to you. Oftentimes trauma is coupled with shame, not your burden to bear. You’re the victim, give yourself grace. Via: Dr.GillianOSheaBrown
Health care includes taking care for your mind, energetic body, and soul. The small things really make a big difference, reading, doing yoga, therapy once a week. I know there’s a stigma around therapy, telling someone your business, or thinking it makes you a loon, weak, but there shouldn’t be. Checking in with a professional, working on your issues, releasing trauma, it makes you a better person, an evolved one. Find someone that suits you (not every therapist is a good one). Make healing a priority. Which of these activities can you add to enhance your life? Via: DrLaurenFogelMersy
To think I almost bailed, but I had really bad PTSD the day before. Writing that I’m a victim of domestic violence, owning that as part of my identity, made me feel ashamed. I completely broke down. It was crippling. I had therapy, which made me feel tons better, because the therapist told me two harrowing stories. She also told me PTSD can go away forever (it happened for her), after I found out on Google that it can be permanent. I felt damaged. How did this happen to me? How could I let it. She told me part of healing is standing up to what’s causing it. So I have and will continue to stand up for myself, facing my abusers.
There is nothing wrong with me. One day I won’t feel this way. I realize I’ve had chronic PTSD for years. Part of why I almost bailed on therapy is due to the trust issues it’s caused me. It’s not fair that I see life through these lenses. I am hopeful I will get better and vacation will help with that. If you’re facing something traumatic you aren’t alone, or broken and therapy helps. Via: Symbolic Magic Art
I know you’re not boring (can’t help but put music in everything). This is really a space for everyone. Adulthood is a passage we all must sojourn in this ephemeral thing called life. By sharing our trials, tribulations and points of view, we can navigate it together.
I’m honored that my friend will be the first to post an experience and would be humbled if you felt the same.
So submit what you want others to understand, a new way of seeing things, your unique perspective to Sainttwenty@gmail.com! This is a place to heal through compassion, kindness and introspection. Also writing is insanely therapeutic. You don’t have to use your real name, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. You need different notes to create harmony, not just my one key.
