We are currently underconstruction! 👷🏼‍♂️🚧🛠🧰

✔ official website www.dancinginfhepsychward.com
✔ new Instagram dancing_in_the_psych_ward
✔ new content on website
✔ logo in progress
.. and more, and there's still a lot to come!

With that being said, this page was made before I took this blog seriously. When making a page on Facebook, you select a category. Choosing the wrong one was one of a few things that I did without looking into it more, so I will be trying to update this page.

If those corrections cannot be made, a new page will be created.

Thank you for your patience and for your support. Please follow us on Instagram, and feel free to bookmark our new website (still learning which email service to use, so there are no newsletters or email subscriptions at this time).

I can't wait to see where we are going to go from here!

Sometimes we have to find ourselves amongst the wreckage. I don't think I ever really knew myself though. I'm changing that. ***deprevention

Forgiveness doesn’t mean that we dwell, nor that we excuse behavior, words, or actions. It means that we set ourselves free from the prison of bitterness and torment. We don’t forgive for the other person- we do it for ourselves; for our sanity, peace, and for our freedom. Forgiveness doesn’t take away the hurt, but it’s an integral and necessary part of healing. ***le

Do you find yourself speaking words of gratitude, patience, love, understanding, and encouragement? Or, do you find fault with many things? Do you berate, judge, criticize, bully, and belittle yourself (or others)? It can be quite easy to treat others with love and patience- we can see the good in others so readily. Yet, when it comes to ourselves, we can sometimes find only faults, mistakes, and flaws. We adopt the words of others as “proof” and fact, adding to any negative beliefs/views that we have for ourselves.

Speak to yourself kindly. Speak words of encouragement, understanding, gratitude, love, compassion, patience, and mercy.

Each of our recovery journeys are different. Rather than compare our progress with other people’s’ progress, we ought to treat ourselves with patience and understanding. We often get caught up in the idea that we have to adhere to a timeline, that we have to be doing as well as everyone else. Trust the process. Trust yourself.

Everyone’s recovery journey is different. My recovery isn’t yours, and yours isn’t mine. We can offer guidance, encouragement, and support. But we cannot dictate someone else’s recovery, nor make choices for them. We each have our own lives to live, and I hope that you each have the courage to live your best lives, remaining steadfast in your truth.

Due to internet and phone signal issues, videos are delayed. But I am still here, and will be posting photos and such in the meantime. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Off to record the first video in the Su***de Loss series. What topics surrounding this would you guys like to see covered? Drop a comment below, and your suggestion may be the topic for an upcoming video.

Though this topic is heartbreaking, my hope is to provide resources to others experiencing loss, and to let people know that they aren’t alone.

Just for today, set down yesterday. The past can hurt, but sometimes, even just for a moment, we can allow ourselves to set it down and focus on the here and now. You’ve carried it around for so long, and you deserve to give yourself a break.

I see your hurt, your pain, your hidden tears. I see your effort, your exhaustion, your desperation. I feel them, and I know them well; they’re my long lost friends.

I also see your courage, your strength. I see your resilience, your resolute determination. I see your power, your victorious willpower.

I see your worth, and I see what you are made of. Precious warrior, rise up. Your story isn’t over yet.

We may not always feel strong or loved or even capable. But saying these things to ourselves not only boosts self-esteem, but the more we say them in the mirror, the more we believe and recognize these to be truths about ourselves. We often aim for perfection, but fail to realize that, though we could use improvement, we are still enough just as we are.

Healing is uncomfortable, challenging, exhausting, tiring, and painful. But on the other side of that, healing is freeing, rewarding, empowering, and worth it. The beginning is always hard- that’s why it’s called healing and recovery. It takes work, it takes determination, it takes willpower. You’re capable, and you can do it!

The next video will be about healthy ways to cope with anniversaries and birthdays surrounding su***de loss, as well as why these dates seem to irritate the wound of grief. If you have any suggestions for healthy ways to cope with these dates, drop a comment and it may be used in the video!
