Hello my loves, A while back when I asked you what you’d like to see more of in these newsletters, a couple of you said you’d also appreciate updates on how I’m doing (which is very sweet!). So that’s what this is! 💜 You all know that last summer got pretty dark for me - a culmination of ongoing pandemic stress, uprooting some real deep trauma in therapy and being in a very destabilising relationship really pushed me into a place that I couldn’t see my way out of. I ended up starting a course of anti-depressants and not knowing what effect (if any) they were gonna have.
Oh Megan <3 Thank you for being so vulnerable and for putting feelings/thought processes that I share with you into words! Your written piece is phenomenal. Sending you so much love!
This is so beautiful, Megan. Thank you for sharing what’s working for you, and how you’re finding healing in the here and now. I am really encouraged and inspired by this. That poem is lovely. I feel like it calmed my nervous system just to read it. And I hope on the days when it feels like you’re stuck or digressing, you can remember that nothing is wasted. None of this work, none of this joy, none of this love is wasted. It’s building a solid foundation that you will build on over and over again.
Sending all my love and bright feelings to you. Thank you for being vulnerable and talking about things so many of us feel but are afraid of sharing. I'm still on my way to the ground... I miss feeling the warm grass on my feet and enjoying the now, but I hope to get back there soon. I do see it already, though, it's so much closer than a while ago... No matter in what stage we are, there's always people that care and help to get to the peaceful side. Let's be kinder to ourselves. <3
Thank you for taking the time to share this update with us, Megan. You are loved by so many and we genuinely care about your well-being. It looks like you have a fabulous support system with your friends and family. Combined with meds and therapy, you've got this!
Thank you for sharing this. So much of it resonates with me, as always! I am going to have a session this week to try and help me being to tackle some of these same thoughts. You are awesome. I genuinely hope I bump into you one day so I can give you a hug. 💚
Fellow sertraline user here 🙋🏻♀️ I've been taking it for almost 7 years. It wasn't the only thing that helped bring me back from OCD intrusions, intense CBT helped too, and that woman from 7 years ago was a very different very scared person in comparison to today me. Sending you lots of love as you navigate this coming back to yourself and finding the beauty in life ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Megan, darling you, I love the ‘warm crust’ yes, yes. Sending appreciation for your strength, and your vulnerability… oh wait are they the same??
Today I’m feeling like a duckling somewhat blindly exploring my world… following… getting distracted… reacting to a deep calling quack… finding my way… daring to live.
Sending so much love 💜 you're crushing being the amazing beautiful person that you are
