Self-Healing Episode 4 - Dear Me

Self-Healing Episode 5: The Road To Heal and To Say No!

It has been over three months since I uploaded anything on here. Unfortunately, a lot has happened, and it has overwhelmed me to shut down and be closed off from many people. It is the same thing again, and despite my effort to salvage my relationship with my mum, it has turned out for the worst. I love my mum, do not get me wrong; however, she is beyond help. If she wants to mouth me off to our extended relatives, or family friends, so be it. Why would I care about that? That is a poor reflection of herself; I can choose to dwell and let it continuously affect me or walk away and focus on myself. I have vowed that this year is about healing from my trauma and learning to let it go. 

***Life Update ft. Chad Stories

Holy, it's has been almost three months since I have done any podcast episodes. I have been venturing on a different platform instead; I have been vlogging on my personal YouTube page (URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCftYhthZfKfsSw5nthYD3gg). I have been giving my mental health update there, and random occurrences have happened since mid-January. I hope you enjoy my Chad story; honestly, it is never a dull moment at my job and my life. I swear I constantly encounter at least one Karen or a Chad a day (fml). Does my energy attracts bitter people, or am I attracted to them? 

Anyway, I will check in when I have everything figured out.  

Until next time.

Self-Healing Episode 4 - Dear Me

DISCLAIMER: I will be snotty and emotional reading the letter so please excuse the sound. I did not want to blow my nose during the podcast because that doesn't sound appealing. 

This is one of the things I needed the most with myself, self-care is what is lacking in my life because I have been on the go and just not dealing with my issues. I can not stress enough how therapeutic it was to write that letter and hear it out loud. I feel a lot more relieved afterwards. I do hope that I can share that with my counsellor before heading back to school or while during school. Either way, I feel more at peace with myself every day. In case you are wondering, I am okay. 

Self-Healing Episode 3 - It's never your fault

Hey:

Sorry for being MIA, I had to deal with 10 days of horrendous side effects of the pokey pokey. I literally had tensed up neck muscles pain, terrible body aches, and five days' worth of migraines. Fun times. 

Anywho, I wanted to share important advice that I've got from my counsellor, that has stuck with me, which is that none of the things that I had gone through was ever my fault. The people who are hurting me are the ones that need help the most. They may not know how to ask for assistance, but it is not my responsibility to fix it for them. 

Self-Healing Episode 2 - Pain and Frustration

So I have been living with my mum for the past 11 months, and it has been emotionally draining and frustrating. I am struggling to communicate with her daily, and living with her has taken a huge emotional toll on my mental well-being. I have taken the necessary steps to heal myself from all the anger, anguish, frustrations, and pain that I have kept for the past 30ish years. I have suppressed my emotions for far too long, and now I can finally process and heal from my trauma. It is not easy to talk about it, let alone share this personal letter with you listeners. I do not wish upon anyone to go through what I have had gone through. This is part of my cathartic and healing process, and I hope this inspires you to heal from your past or inspire you to help others in need.
