I recently did a little research on resentments, aggravation, insults, agitation, and why it’s important to be kind to ourselves. In regards to my experiences with self-harm, maybe it would be better to start writing articles for solution, rather than stick to my own analysis. Sound good? I’m sorry.
According to webmd.com it’s important when faced with challenges for us to be kind to ourselves, stating, “When we are more forgiving to ourselves, these difficult emotions have less of an effect on our overall emotional well-being.” [1] All I know is that when I put the work and effort into my day, things turn out much better. It’s the end of the day I always seem to struggle with keeping it together, often getting headaches by the end of the day. As someone prescribed meds, it’s also been a challenge to take as prescribed and not be dependent on meds, to be taken as needed, which can wind up being too much or too little, best to stick to a regular system of taking meds. So forgive yourself for med management issues, it doesn’t mean you’re an addict if you can’t function or have difficulties without your prescribed meds, it’s your solution to figure out for yourself alongside the help of your doctors and psychiatrist or psychologist. Don’t give up and be too hard on yourself, if it’s prescribed you’re not an addict, despite what AA or any rehab facility might say about what is considered “sobriety” these days. “No Stimulants” I disagree some people have been on meds for years and have never run out or faced any symptoms of addiction, for people with learning disability such as myself I need to take meds, to do the work, to function, be normal.
In order to treat a resentment, it’s been said to “talk to your doctor” if “you’re beginning to feel as though your resentment is becoming too much.” And that, “The right solution for resentment depends mainly on its cause and the individual. The path to healing involves forgiveness and finding a way to make peace with what happened so you can move on with life.” [2] So for example, although I may disagree with “sobriety” not allowing me to take stimulants learning disability meds but a 5150 hold left me on Vyvanse twice that means the psychiatrist hospital approved of the meds, given my disability, and that’s my form of justification for acceptance of being kept on meds, if observed in a mental health hospital, and was okay by them. Doesn’t mean that I abuse my meds. If the meds help me live life, keep the weight off, why not. The solution for being at peace, would be to take my day meds, and go to AA, and forget whatever was the rule while in treatment, and see my sober community again, and move on. I think that will feel better, than lets say for example talking about it online, and letting it build up into something I’m made to feel guilty for or feel bad about for complaining, that’s the solution go back.
