Ep 24 - Frustrations About Speed of Mental Health Recovery

Hello beautiful tater tots!

I'm getting less and less nervous posting episodes, but I still get nervous, especially when the topics are personal and emotional to me. (which they normally all are haha). I recently took on an endeavour that made me realize I am not as recovered from my mental health concerns as I thought I was. I'm doing much better, for sure, but this stressor allowed me to see I have more work to do in order to be back at my "typical" state and I found myself frustrated, angry, and upset at myself for not being as "okay" as I thought I "should be" at this point.

I wanted to share my thought process a little bit in hopes that if you do the same, you know you're not alone and learn that it's a common thought process - but it's usually not helpful to our situation and we can try to show ourselves a bit more compassion, empathy and kindness in these moments.

I am so thankful for you all for hanging out with me each week. Thank you again for listening!
