Life is getting back to being normal once more for me! I can smile more often. I can laugh a little more genuinely. I can breathe without heartbreak. This last 8 months have been some of the hardest 8 months of my life. Even the months leading up to entering jail I kept a positive attitude with a shiny disposition but this broke me. Matters of the heart are so extreme. When you are so disappointed in the way something ended up you just collapse under the grief of the pain. I did. I hurt so deep that healing even once the disappointment had lifted took way longer than I ever imagined. I didn’t know that trauma existed in this form till I experienced. I remember why I shut myself off from allowing myself to have friends and form bonds with others because so many times my disorder makes it to where people can’t handle being my friend and eventually they leave. What I am learning is I now have skills I didn’t have before to educate those friends that are in my life and to teach them how my mind works. To help them understand when and why I am struggling when I am struggling. Conversations go so far, and people truly want to understand when they truly care about you! I got lucky when I found the love of my life! He has protected me for so many years from anything bad . However, it’s time to stop being afraid to live and stop being afraid of being a friend with someone out of fear they will eventually turn away and leave me behind. I am to nice and have to much love to share to not give it freely! I have so many friends but my wall has been so high for so long I don’t know if I have ever felt their love! It’s time to embrace them fully! . . . . . #inbipolarfahion #ToshaMaaks #bipolar1disorder #delusional #delusionaldisorder #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #psychosis #selflove #selflovejourney❤️ #selfworth #selfgrowth #worthy #mentalhealth #healthadvocate #nontraditonalstudent #selfacceptance #imacoder #mentalhealthmatters #mymindmatters #bipolarblogger #bipolaradvocate #bipolardisorderawareness W#bipolarawareness #mentalhealthawareness #loveyourself

Sometimes I forget I’m a pretty cool person and my internal dialogue starts to take over my brain and tells me differently! It tells me things like “these people aren’t truly your friends” “these people don’t want to be here” “they are not enjoying themselves” “they do not like me” “they find me truly annoying” I struggle with these thoughts endlessly and they are on continuous cycle in my mind. This past weekend was a wonderful spent with friends who came in from out of town, however, the thoughts were on full force. I struggled throughout the weekend trying to pretend I was fine and not let it show that my delusional thoughts were creeping in so badly. I made it through but I wasn’t really me all weekend. I was off and I think everyone knew it. I will be okay though it was just stress of preparing for overnight guests for the first time. Now that the first time is out. Of the way next time will be so much easier! #bestfriends #awesomepeople . . . . . #inbipolarfahion #ToshaMaaks #bipolar1disorder #delusional #delusionaldisorder #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #psychosis #selflove #selflovejourney❤️ #selfworth #selfgrowth #worthy #mentalhealth #healthadvocate #nontraditonalstudent #selfacceptance #imacoder #mentalhealthmatters #mymindmatters #bipolarblogger #bipolaradvocate #bipolardisorderawareness W#bipolarawareness #mentalhealthawareness #loveyourself

This weekend we got the pleasure of hanging out with two of the best individuals I know to celebrate my husband’s birthday! These two have become great friends of ours and we enjoy our adventures whether it be axe throwing or an out door concert! We have a blast every time! We feel fortunate to have them as a part of our life. #closefriendsarefamily #bestfriends #awesomepeople . . . . . #inbipolarfahion #ToshaMaaks #bipolar1disorder #delusional #delusionaldisorder #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #psychosis #selflove #selflovejourney❤️ #selfworth #selfgrowth #worthy #mentalhealth #healthadvocate #nontraditonalstudent #selfacceptance #imacoder #mentalhealthmatters #mymindmatters #bipolarblogger #bipolaradvocate #bipolardisorderawareness W#bipolarawareness #mentalhealthawareness #loveyourself

Happy Friday! I have been busy cleaning today as I get ready for our first visitors in our new home. We bought our house this May officially even though we got to move in back in February. I have always loved being the host. It’s why I do Thanksgiving and Christmas. So I am excited tonight as I start to unwind and relax waiting for my friends to arrive! This weekend I am going to live by a meme I saw recently “That thing you’re afraid of? Do it!”

I expanded on a meme I found online to fit me more personally on my meme maker. I wanted one that was more suitable and fit me! This meme speaks volumes to my life! In fact I have the words “Amazing” on one wrist and “strength” on the other wrist to remind myself each time I am having a bad day, that I will make it through it, I will come out on the other side. I am going to be okay in the end. If I got throughout the period in my life that I got the tattoo’s done after then I know I can get through anything. I’m a bit crazy and heck yeah I’m flawed, who isn’t? I get knocked down over and over again by an invisible illness, that sometimes isn’t so invisible, but I don’t give up I continue to fight. I will continue to work my bipolar care plan. Do you have your bipolar care plan listed out by steps if not DM me for an infographic on how to build a bipolar care plan. I also can send out a rack card that can be used in counseling’s agencies on self care strategies which would be perfect to hand to clients. It’s in PDF form with bleed marks complete for printing and I would be willing to part with it as well!

It’s the man of my dreams birthday today! I just want to take a min and say happy birthday to the man who has learned how to handle the ups and downs of this crazy illness! He has been my rock when I thought my world would crush me he stood by me when I was at my worst and some days we fight like crazy but we love each other harder because of it! He is honestly my everything and my best friend and I am lucky I get to spend the rest of my life with him! I love you Chris! I hope you have a fabulous day and I can’t wait to celebrate this weekend with great friends! . . . . . #inbipolarfashion #bipolar1disorder #bipolardisorder #bipolar #bipolarstrong #bipolarawareness #bipolarhope #bipolarwarrior #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthblogger #bipolardisorderawareness #mentalhealthweek2019 #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthblogger #yourmindmatter #selflovejourney #selflove #unconditionalselflove #loveyourself #selfcare #selfacceptance #selfdiscovery #selfconfidence #selfassurance #selfreliance #knowyourworth #youareloved #inbipolarfashion #bipolar1disorder #bipolardisorder #bipolar #bipolarstrong #bipolarawareness #bipolarhope #bipolarwarrior #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthblogger #bipolardisorderawareness #mentalhealthweek2019 #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthblogger #yourmindmatter #selflovejourney #selflove #unconditionalselflove #loveyourself #selfcare #selfacceptance #selfdiscovery #selfconfidence #selfassurance #selfreliance #knowyourworth #youareloved
