A year later

It’s World Suicide Prevention Week. A year ago today, I was mentally in the worst place I have ever been in.

A year later and it’s taken quite the road to get here but I’m genuinely happy. I am human so I still have my days where my depression is awful and I do not want to do one single thing in the world.

I cannot believe time has flown and we are a few months shy of 2022. The things I was telling myself a year ago today, I would never want to repeat to someone I love, so I have tried to stop thinking those awful things.

I am worthy of love. I am a strong person. I deserve good things. I am so thankful for life today. I get to come home to my kitties and now my boyfriend! I’m in a healthy and happy relationship. I truly believed I did not deserve to be loved the way that I often love others…but here we are.

Life is so strange. I was going to therapy almost always weekly last year and now I’m on maintenance and just check in with my therapist once a month.

I SAW MY FIRST CLIENT. I am now sitting on the other side of the chair. I can’t believe how fast time has gone. I never want to feel the way I did a year ago today and I never want anyone to feel that way. I can’t wait to start changing lives 😭
