So mostly i have been having good days- some aarer still bad bit that's okay haha as that's life. I can manage them better than before. Before most of the time i didn't know what was wrong with me. i don't know how it happened but a something clicked in my head which i heard years ago called the HALT acronym. H stand for hunger A stands for angry L stands for lonely and T stands for tired. so i go through all of them making it easier to rule out. Sometimes in the morning i just get out of bed and start my day which most of the time changes everything.
Now i have had an interest in singing. it releases endorphins and Oxytocin (chemicals important for happiness also improve your lung health. A interesting fact that i have found is that listening to music releases the chemical dopamine in charge of happiness and that when you sing both side of you brain are interacting!. i feel like i have gotten better but i don't know- everyone has to start somewhere.
Now i feel like i dont really need therapy as i believe that i have got the skills to healthily manage my emotions. It has made me the person who i am today. If all of this didn't happen then i wouldn't have learnt all these lessons. To be honest i wouldn't mind to cope with it. It has made my life more interesting and challenging.

Oh bro there have been many points where i wanted to give up. if i did that then i wouldn't have known why Don't We Corbyn, Jack, Daniel( my fave), Zach and Jonah who has lead me to great IBF's (internet best friends).

I vividly remember telling my dad that i had a rlly hard time applying all of these lessons to everyday life but now i am ably to do it which has drastically changed my life.

"With time and putting in a conscious effort to get better you can get through anything!"

thanks anxiety haha
