What i realised is

Holding anger just makes YOU feel bad

Could be guilt or regret

Specially when it's the person you like

So

Let go

Don't hold on to it

It's bad

It just harms YOU

Nothing else

Be good, do good

Things will get better with you

Saying it is way easier than actually practicing it

I hope I apply this to myself

Every time

Coz when this becomes your habit

You feel light, at ease

And it brings good back to you

Good luck to everyone fighting<3

I’ve been on so many medications since I was 18 for my bipolar, panic attacks, anxiety and depression. The best it ever did was just numb me to the point where I was just existing. I didn’t care if I lived or not tbh. I was severely depressed or I was a complete zombie. It never felt like there was a balance.
9 months ago I decided I wanted better for myself so I did something I wasn’t supposed to, I got off all 8 of my medications and just took a leap of faith into the unknown. I had faith something good would happen.

It all stated coming together when I left a toxic situationship I had for two years. I left that, decided to transfer to a new location to work at because I was in a very toxic work environment and it worked out bc I feel so happy here at my new location and grateful for all the people I work with, I started taking the gym a lot more seriously, I became so disciplined and eventually more confident, I felt all the dopamine and from taking walks outside, I started setting boundaries and blocked all the people who no longer served me, I got off the two main apps I used Instagram and Snapchat, stopped watching tv, got off dating apps, started reading self help books and about quantum physics, listening to self help podcasts, I got into coloring, I started facing my fears of driving in the freeway, I am financially in a great place, I feel so positive and hopeful but mostly grateful for my past and all the lessons I had to learn in order to become my highest self. I still feel a little anxious at times but I can talk myself out of it easily. My moods are way more stable, Physically, mentally and spiritually I feel great!!!!

I wish more people felt the way I do, this is a GREAT feeling ☺️

Seems so damn fascinating,I have to try it anyhow..

I’m addicted to porn and I genuinely hate it. How do I fight this?
I’ve been struggling with porn addiction for a while. I genuinely hate the fact that I keep going back to it, but I still get attracted to sexual content sooner or later and end up watching it again.
The worst part is the guilt afterward. I feel like I’m stuck in the same cycle: urge → watch → regret → decide to quit → eventually get triggered again.
I don’t want this to control me anymore. I want to actually break the habit, not just stop for a few days and relapse.
For anyone who has successfully overcome problematic porn use: what actually helped you? How did you deal with the urges and triggers when they came back?
I’m genuinely looking for practical advice, not judgment.

This post is as much for someone with a heavy heart today as much as it is a reminder for me!

I’ve been through an intense heartbreak (1+ yr ago) and I made it to the other side of it and here are a few things I learned on my way:

- There’s no such thing as fully healed. You’ll never be fully healed or completely fixed. You are not a project but a human being who keeps growing, learning new things, building new value systems. Don’t keep yourself in a box and use healing as an excuse to put your life on hold. You can grieve and still enjoy a fuller life. Let grief and overcoming it be a part of your life not your identity.

- And while we are talking about healing, it does not ensure that no bad things happen to you. It helps you grow into a person who can recover from bad things quicker. Life will still happen to you. There will still be tough times that might come your way. You have to be someone who’s so grounded in their life that even if the ground shakes for a while, you know how to find your centre, how to come back to yourself again and again.

- Resentment towards any other human being in its true essence is being unkind to your own self. You are wasting your precious energy, your time and your attention on someone who is no longer a part of your world. This will keep you tethered to the past. The thoughts will come, the ache will resurface. Feel it and keep bringing your attention back to yourself. That’s how you gently release resentment, by bringing your attention back to yourself, not deliberately but intentionally.

- Nobody can do the emotional processing for you. Not your family, not your friends, not the next person you date. You will need to process it by yourself. Bring acceptance by yourself. People can support you in that journey, but they cannot do the emotional work for you. Find tools that can help you. Know that this is not the end of the world even if it might seem so. The self reliance that comes from all the emotional processing will be a gift that will add to your character in life. You’ll learn a lot about yourself in this process.

Lastly, keep taking care of yourself. Give yourself credit for all that you do to keep yourself moving forward in life. Acknowledge that you are going through a hard time. And live your life with a hope that it won’t be this way forever!

The final stage of healing truly is being able to imagine a better future for yourself. Even more so, being confident that you can build that better future.❤️
