It's okay, I'm okay.

I've had a whirlwind of a summer. But I'm okay. I've learned some awesome coping skills. I've learned some things about myself. I've been open about my struggles with depression and anxiety with my friends. So they're starting to understand more why I react to certain things. They don't let me isolate myself, which I tend to do when I'm not feeling well. 

I've been handling my stress better. I've learned how to ignore the things that don't matter. Well, I'm still learning, but it's a work in progress, right? I'm still working on not taking things too personally. 

Deep breaths, self care.  My therapist said something one day and I hold on to it. When you're on an airplane, who's oxygen mask do you put on first? Your own. You need to help yourself before you can help others.

So that's what I've been working on. 

And it's okay.

I'm okay.
