truly the end goal is not "my close friends aren't annoyed by me and it's all in my head, they're my friends and they love me", it's "sometimes I do annoy my close friends, just as the people I love most will also annoy me sometimes, because this is normal, and we will continue to stay friends, and they're not going to want to immediately cut me out of their life if I do something annoying once in a while"
If you experienced trauma in childhood or had a rough childhood, dude listen to me. Offer yourself play. You were deprived of it.
Keep bubbles in the house, blow bubbles in the yard, blow them in your room, get a coloring book that doesn’t have to be an adult one with mandalas, watch cartoons, laugh at stupid things, dress up as a superhero for Halloween, wear a Santa hat on Christmas and big light up snowflake earrings, lay down on the floor, lay down in the grass, eat eggos for dinner sometimes. It’s not stupid. You’re not childish. You’re giving your inner child what they had taken from them. They deserve it.
It's okay to take meds even if it's for a life time. They are trying to compensate for what's lacking. Don't listen to the mean beans that tell you that it's because you are weak and you just want to take the easy way out. LIES! Your brain is having trouble producing the right chemicals so you need some extra help. Think about how people take insulin because their body can't produce enough. It's the same idea folks! They are mad at you for taking something their brain is already producing! Meds aren't the easy way out, there also needs to be other changes in your life to help with your specific type of illness but therapy alone cant talk your chemicals into balancing so you need renewed thoughts and balanced chemicals to truly make progress! It's not an attitude adjustment, it's an adjustment that's needs to be made on the cellular level! Meds don't take all the pain away but it allows you to see a situation more realistically and for you to see more clearly your thoughts and the thoughts of illness so you can make happier choices. It works on the part that your helpless with so you can start learning how to help yourself in the areas you can eventually do something about. I LOVE GOD. I know he does miracles everyday. However, he uses people and the situations in life to answer our prayers. He sent you the doctor and he is giving you the opportunity to take medicine to better your health. He uses ordinary situations in extraordinary ways. Sometimes he doesn't just miraculously make the storms disappear, he wants to walk with us through the storm and take us step by step into healing. May God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit bless you more than you ever thought he would.
