Hello its been so long since ive been on here!
Missed this place, missed posting threads :) So just a little update
Ive just been trying to learn how to detach from my anxiety and learning that while i do have a MI, it does not define me!!
If anyone still remembers, i have situational social anxiety but Ive just been nipping things in the bud and approaching it from another angle -- the construals that I have had my whole life that has basically given birth to MI. Learning to drop my ego and "identity" has been really instrumental in improving my mental health.
Im still attending school (year 2 now) and while I still struggle from time to time, I can safely say i feel a lot more at ease and also happier this sem. Still taking baby steps and learning to be patient with myself. Overcame a lot of crazy challenges that I never thought I'd live to tell the tale. P.s even saying these positive things is making me scared bc im terrified being too positive and then falling flat on my face, if that makes sense....lol but thats okay.
Im hoping that trusting and believing in this angle of approach will bear me fruits in overcoming more primary fears.
Dear scared fellows out there, hang in there. Its scary i know, but we will get through it. And I know somewhere along the line Im going to doubt myself again, including all that im saying. But its okay, Ill just pick myself up again.
Thinking of you :)
