Just thought I'd give a quick update. Unfortunately my mental state deteriorated again today, I was very proud of myself as I Immediately recognised this and contacted mental health crisis who are coming out to see me tomorrow. My parents are concerned as they can see notable changes in my appearance. I've tried to shift my mind set and instead of asking why me I instead say why not me. Nothing is permanent nor fixed and it is one of those unfortunate things in life that is just happening. While the pain is unbearable at times it is without question the physical changes that are causing my mental anguish. Does anyone know of any good coping strategies that can allow me to accept these changes?

@change25 Just as with everything else, no two days are exactly the same. That goes for weather, or our mental status. For me, understanding that this can change a bit when I least expect it, sometimes for reasons unexpected, helps me be gentle on myself. Recognizing that you feel a difference, and want to address it right away, is a great gift to yourself.
Be gentle on yourself. Take time to write it out, or create something to express where you are right now. Know it is temporary, and a sign you are doing better. What will you do today to honor yourself?
