mental health challenges can really mess with your self esteem

mental health challenges can really mess with your self esteem.


let alone the challenges mental illnesses can cause for getting


on in life and the world, it also is compounded by a sense of being


alien, different, ill or just cannon fodder.


I think coming to terms with that is kind of important.


keep on keeping on :)



good night

in my own mental illness management, radical acceptance is a central tool. i can't manage a symptom i am treating like profound wisdom few can see.

I don't understand arfie, but what I will say is that I've learned today is to give consciousness to - or rather question my dark side and so my ruminations.. seeing and questioning why I was going dark and that i was ruminating .. It made me see both light and dark insided me. ..it's really helping me better experience life communally, see other people in a wholistic way and so I felt a part of it I had a great day at work - a lot of work -
and I'm excited to go to the monastery! I'll miss my buddies at the market (it's been 11 years that I've been at the market in Malibu) I am excited for the work I will do there at the monastery and also for the new market I will be working at in Maryland!
