Anna, yesterday I went out to socialize in a group setting for the first time in forever after years of completely isolating myself and shutting myself off from the world. I just wanted to share because I realized I had C-PTSD last spring and your videos have been and continue to be a great part of that journey. I mean it 100% that I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did yesterday, and even have fun with little to no anxiety afterwards, if it weren’t for finding this channel. I’m still a little in shock over being able to feel not only so okay but even good about being alive as I am right now. Thank you for being the kind bright light that you are, and to anyone reading this who might fear they’ll always be “stuck”, please know there is so much hope for us all ❤❤❤
Gah, you're making me cry! This is such wonderful news! I'm giving you a BIG hug!
same.. so true.. she is helping so many of us. so glad I found this channel. : )
@@CrappyChildhoodFairy Oh!! I love it when you respond personally to the comments. Thanks so much!
Congrats!!! 🎉❤
That's a great step, e! I hope that there will be more positive experiences like this for you 😊 Thanks so much for posting this comment, because it's just helped inspire me to keep going with the tiny steps I've been taking to do the same - to start to come out of isolation and to live again. And, yes, a huge thanks to CCF, too - for everything 👏🥰
1. 2:10 Get up an hour earlier than you'd normally do. --> less hurrying
2. 3:16 journaling / morning pages / CCF's Daily Practice
3. 5:00 Meditate 5~20 mns
4. 7:00 Start exercizing hard (get your heart rate up for a while)
5. 9:15 Go outside
6. 11:15 Move in a group (applies to singing, etc)
7. 12:13 Eat some protein with every meal ; be mindful of carbs
8. 13:48 Work deliberately on good, useful activities for yourself and others (lists! eat the frog!)
9. 15:00 Fight the urge to talk about anything negative
10. 16:42 "What am I avoiding?" (covert dread) --> what's the right next step?
11. 17:35 Do something kind for someone else, without them learning about it. (for your own happiness, not to get praise)
Helpful, thanks Léa.
Thank you!
Thank you so much 💕💐💗
I have a friend, who lives in Jerusalem, dresses in purple & gives "kindness cards" (google it, not a product, more of an idea, not for profit) to everybody she interacts with. Every clerk, in every shop, every driver, every soldier, every tourist, anyone she interacts with. Because she can. I am still impressed/grateful to know she's real. "What am I avoiding?" is a question I ask not often enough. Fighting the urge to talk negative, not only works but it stops creating the negative. Talking less. Challenging myself with long periods of peaceful being quiet. Like not practicing witty retorts to the news. Life is not a sitcom. Practicing accepting as is instead of practicing labeling, judging, blaming, even with what I think of this or that Tweet, story, film, comment IRL on the street. So they said it. So what? It's good practice. Gratitude for no pain in this moment. For safety now. For a place to sleep. Food in the stomach. Fresh air & water. Simple things. A little girl with goldilocks curls in the pharmacy. I personally do better without a rigid routine. Group work triggers me. SInging along to laptop karaoke & dancing with dogs is more my cuppa tea. To each his/her/its own. Nice to have some company/community/connection, here, even if not a lot of interaction yet.
Thanks for typing this out! So helpful! I need to read a copy of this every morning!
I put a quater in a small clear glass each time I do a thing for one hour. I have a cup for work around the house ( that I don't like doing like washing dishes), a cup for taking care of me ( nice movie, bath, massage) and a cup for work. I love placing those quaters in the cups and it keeps me going and keeps me organized. I end up with 12 quaters in the 3 glasses per day in average and accomplish so much this way. I created this technique. Keeps me going and keeps me satisfied. I enjoy counting my quaters at the end of the day, placing them back in the large pot and the next day, I restart my 3 glass routine 🙂. The sound of the coins, the encouragement of writing what I did for that specific quater on a page placed under each cup, the visual of the stacked coins all combined does something to my brain that likes this and becomes more regulated. This video is a quater in my self care cup for example.
Imagine if you collected them in a big jar over time and saved up a big pile of money to buy yourself a present with!
Tried your method and I love it!
Thank Y💜ou
I love this idea.
I just LOVE this woman. So much brilliant practical advice without waffling.. This is just what I needed. Thank you
Yes! Never any waffling. Always value and meaning is what I appreciate the most
Since the pandemic, depression hangs over me like a cloud. I try to take each day as it comes, but it's not always easy. Sending everyone a big bear hug 💌
Thankyou, I'm hugging you back x
@@robynmarler1951 💌💌💌
Thank you Anna…last night was hard. I was in a really dark place and blaming myself. This morning after listening to this I’m giving myself grace. I was severely traumatized as a child and an adult. I blame myself for EVERYTHING which leads to depression. This will help. ❤
YOu'll be amazed how much going for a walk can calm that stuff down.
Hang in there 🙏
You have to talk to yourself from the adult point to your child and say I forgive myself I was only a child I didn’t know any better. You’re grown up now -give yourself a hug
"It's a mind, it thinks" love it! You're looking incredibly well by the way. And great video!
I have cptsd from childhood then I married a narc, I crochet this is thee best form of meditation I do, also it makes me happy, so glad I have found something I really love, thank u for all that u do Anna!
Thanks for sharing!
-Cara@TeamFairy
Number 6 for me is yoga. Either beach yoga, or any yoga online that gives directions, left right etc.. square dance is super helpful too. Thanks so much.
Have you tried pilates?
This list is wholesome, helpful & free. I have been implementing these techniques for many years as a "medicine" for severe depression. I'll be doing great for months at a time & then NOT. The difficulty I face is slipping into depression, knowing that practicing any of the techniques will help, yet I feel too far gone & I simply can't. I get overwhelmed & stuck.
Hello 👋 Christian, I love your words you sound so kind, how are you doing?
After years of therapy I decided to recapitulate everything that I had learned. I literally shut the drapes and reviewed my progress for multiple months. Similar to your self examination vids, I had to address my own stagnation.
I have a better understanding of my own development from childhood, young adulthood, and subsequent adult.
Being that selfish (in a healthy way) has led to the quieting of my own mind. I am more at peace than I ever was prior to watching your vids.
@@Dr_Wrong sorry to be the smartass here but the hard part IMO is overturning this deeply ingrained false belief that putting yourself first is selfish, wrong, bad. Because yes if you keep believing that then it will always feel like a very hard thing to do.
It is taking good care of the most important person in your life which is you, and it is your duty to do that, just as the duty of the airplane instruction of putting your own oxygen mask on first, before you put your childs oxygen mask on.
🍀✌️
Being tired is a trigger for me because part of my CPTSD involved intense sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue. Meditation helps a lot because it helps me with relaxation!
Same to me. Right now Im in that situation
What has helped me sleep is Deep Belly Breathing...breathing in and out through your nose, your stomach moves in and out, not your chest...I hope you will try this, let me know how you are doing
New subscriber - I'm so pleasantly surprised by the quality and depth of your words! So much substance in 20 minutes, a lot to chew on for days - and hopefully implement! Definitely inspired to try some, thank you
Hello 👋 Natasa, I love the way you drop down your words on the note, you sound so lovely 😊 how are you doing?
What really helped me was running. I got to a point i was running every day, i felt free. I called it "meditation with my feet"
I can attest to this..up at 530 mon-fri, and I work out at least 20-40 minutes. I run in the Summer months when the sun is up, and bought a treadmill for the winter months. I give myself plenty of time to have my coffee and get ready for work. That way I'm not rushing out the door. This has helped tremendously with my mood. It really makes my day better. Some days are harder to get out of bed, but I find once I start moving my body my endorphins dramatically increase. I stopped taking meds about 3 years ago, and I can't reccomend enough the importance of exercise and a daily routine.
i stopped taking mine about 4 years ago. I was doing ok but did something that dysregulated the sh!t out of me so I'm going to have to implement more of these things to get back on track.
All well if you have a healthy body but not an option when you have a genetic chronic illness.
thank you so much, dear. I really needed this. My cat passed away yesterday and I need something to distract my mind
So sorry for your loss. I am facing that in coming days with my precious 17 year old fur baby
Thanks Anna...love your voice and love the way you delivered the messges. You are very relatable. Thank you and God bless
Hello 👋 Shri, I love the way you drop down your words, you sound so lovely 😊 how are you doing today?
I love these steps I can take to feel better and not stress about this limerance! I just wish the commercials wouldn't interrupt so often!
Recommended your videos to someone struggling and suicidal. Therapy is triggering him big time. He's dealing with family alcoholism and sex abuse by his mom .
I'm praying he checks you out . Your work is a true lifeline for so many of us .
Thank you .
how does this vid have 700 views n only 109 likes?? come on people.. lets pay her back for what she does. hit that like.
Finally someone I can relate to! Thank you so much
Thank YOU for being here - watching & supporting. We appreciate you. - Ashley, Team Fairy
I’m writing poems. This help me stop today
“Friend from the early 70’s
A name keeps swimming around in my head
Spider webs
Dusty boxes
Cluttered storage
It will be fun to reconnect.
It’s a friend from the early 70’s
Only a first name at first
Relax I reassured me
Last name will emerge.
recall pops up
last name.
Uncovering golden ticket
Search out all online hotline info to forage like a sleuth on her game.
Delight and joy I found my lost friends
phone number
What a great day.
Waiting til the very next morn
Making this happen
Anticipation as the phone rings
A voice answers, hesitant
Kathleen this is Kim from long ago
My voice excitedly sings.
She questions kim Kim let’s see
Kim, the Kim who dated my brother was the reply on the other end
No how are, no how great to hear from you!
Just confusion to who I am.
I felt disappointment run throughout me
Our relationship was pals not an acquaintance from dating a sibling man.
Her husband also a friend
or so I thought
but wrong
Kept telling her
hang up
Get off the phone.
No hello,
He’s impatient
Got to go
Silence
As she hung up as I sat all alone.
This is only a problem from remnants of lifelong abuse
A normal cherished child would
Drop the event, nothing gained nothing lost.
I write this event to right a wrong that attacks my brain
Old familiar self flagellation is the name of this game.
triggers
I’m wrong
I’m rude
I’m easily forgotten
Dismissed.
It’s my go to abused child
Believing everyone else has rights to breathe
I’m an unwelcome foreigner to this life, you see.
I apologize in a text
How rude interrupting their day
Thoughts, nice gesture,
look up old friends from way back in the day.
Obviously only an acquaintance
Knowing so many Kim’s
Which one was me?
My call was a foolish whim.
No shut up
old behavior
You’ve done nothing wrong
Stop that old beat me up
tired old song
You’re caring
You’re sincere
You’re significant
You are strong
You’ve created a bubble of new friends in your life
Friends born out of healing
Friends who see you
Who encourage your growth
From the past ghosts that crushed your heart and left you a mentally crippled piece of brittle toast.
That’s the old life
You made a new oath
To honor and respect the child within
So your adult self has the right to this earth’s residence.
To look up so called friends
made when raw and broken
Is a wound breaking scab
Leave them
continue self protect
This is your time like a Phoenix to rise.
Rejoice to your healed you
Gratitude to your true loved ones
Moving forward
Embracing talents once buried
emerging
You’d cleared out the clutter
You’ve thrown out the old
What serves you not
This is your life now
The ghosts lost control. “

Felt this. Thanks for sharing 😎✌
This made me tear up and mirrors well how I felt so many times. Thank you for sharing 💕
I have been really depressed this year. I will check your tools. Thank you for everything. I love watching your videos.
Thanks for joining the community!
-Cara@TeamFairy
Hello 👋 Susie, I love your words you sound so kind, how are you doing?
I did this for 2 years and I will say it does help.Exercise every day is powerful. I have a mantra for years. Thank you
I really needed this video today.
I just Love you 💜 You are so genuine and caring. Thank you So much for putting these videos and resources out here. I keep avoiding so much because it's so overwhelming. Including getting into this community. It's a lot to deal with and it's holding me back not dealing with it right but I feel the sooner I do, the sooner I can complete my healing journey. I would love nothing more than to help others on their journey by sharing my story. I know I will happen. God willing. Much love and healing hugs to everyone here🫂💜🦋🌻🙏🤗
Thank you! All of those are very valuable tips. I’ve found that walking on uneven grass or dirt trails is a huge help to my mind and body. I was so glad to hear you talk about that and to have my experience affirmed. I also found that just watching this video helped; watching your smile, hearing your calm voice and learning of your own experiences. It’s so nice to know that we’re not alone and that there is a practical, non drug-related path to feeling better and healing.
Great tips. For me it’s almost always step 10.. I’m avoiding/procrastinating something I don’t want to deal with so I meander around feeling like 💩 about myself.
Thanks for sharing!!
-Cara@TeamFairy
I loveee your youtube videos!!! So much good advice and I love how you make it relatable.
Reallllllllllly needed this today... right now. Thank you. 🙏
What a perfect video for this time of year, really needed this! Thank you ❤
Hello, how are you doing Mary? I hope you're okay, and everyone around you, as well 🤗
Shifting gears from feeling low to high is good to hear 😎😘
Love you Anna! Thank you!💚💙💛🧡❤
What is PTST?I just ran upon this video right now and I see you for the first time.I will start following you.
Exercising hard is difficult for me, especially if it's cold outside like now. It's winter here. What are things I can say to myself to get me motivated enough to exercise?
My personal opinion is that you (1) have to be desperate enough to make a change and (2) you have to set yourself a goal that's as a miniscule as possible. Don't bite off too much at once. For example, set yourself the goal of getting up, getting dressed, and then going outside for just two minutes. A promise to go outside only for 2 minutes and then come back in. Set a timer. After doing this every day for a while, you'll start to become the sort of person who *consistently* gets up and goes outside at a regular time to exercise. And then it becomes easier to increase the time spent exercising from there. And (c) if you're really sensitive to the cold, maybe go outside dressed very warmly at first. You can maybe take layers off once you start to get too warm from the exercise.
Similar, i do not enjoy most exercise. 99.9% does not get my endorphins going. The only exercise I did like (rollerskating) I cannot do any longer as I went too many decades without it and the last time i did it (a few years ago), i broke my back and got a concussion when a horse-playing young teen clipped the back of my knee / multiple bounces. Doc says bones are too brittle and the next fall might paralyze me. That would lead to a worse depression.
Motivation is hard to muster for other things on the list. I have joined 2 walking meetup groups and have only gone once in 6 years. It's too hot (pass out from heat), too cold (raynauds and get sick when cold), too windy (prone to ear infections w/ a poor immune system) ...
I will try to be more kind, but because I hermtize, there is no secret, somebody always finds out.
Feels like a knife in my gut when i lie & say i'm fine when i'm not, so i stopped. I just say i'm here or change the subject to something neutral or positive that has nothing to do with me - weather, how nice someone looks that day, retelling a kindness i witnessed (not did), etc. It helps for a few minutes, then i concentrate on my work.
Thank you for this video, I needed it a lot 🌺✨ you are a beautiful soul Anna 🙏 thank you for your channel and kindness
So glad!
Thank you so much, Crappy Childhood Fairy and Team! Lots of Love, Jaden XXXOOO
Hello 👋 Jaden, I love your words you sound so interesting 😊 how are you doing?
11:18 #6 explains why I struggled with line dancing at country western clubs in the 80s, my entire extended family was never involved in sports (due to poor eye/hand coordination), and I'm the 4th known generation to have enlarged cerebellum (brain structure responsible for balance). WOW!
I've had covid for almost 2 weeks now. Ready to get back to living!
Come back! Come back! Glad you're on the mend.
Anna, this is one of your most important Videos for me ! 😊 Thank you 💐
What i also recommend is taking the whole range of the B- Vitamins. Because our nervous System is often exhausted.
Also supporting the Liver is very important, because she is connected to feelings like Angryness and Bitterness.
Bitter Herbs like Silymarine ( there are special Plant Mixtures for the Liver) support her.
It gives us Energy back and boost our Mood.
I have such good expieriences with this.
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💖
Hello 👋 Sarah, I love your words you sound so kind, how are you feeling?
Love these, Anna, but could you please use optics when mentioning these. You know, 1.... 2.... 3.... Thanks. :)
The immobilisation paralysis of overwhelm n depression really gets me down. Sick of it
Hang in there!
Nika@TeamFairy
In regards to the tiredness felt from getting up earlier I find it helps if I promise myself an early night as it balances out my mental strain.
Hello 👋 Joanne, I love the way you drop down your words, you sound so kind, how are you doing?
I’m a nurse and do shift work which puts you allover lover the place. Sometimes I wake up at 530am and it’s great. Other times I can’t sleep till 2am in the morning which makes it very difficult to get up early
that is definitely an additional challenge- and I have met soooo many nurses with trauma- a support network on the job seems desperately needed.
-Cara@TeamFairy
🌱🌏💚 Thank you Crappy Childhood Fairy, team fairy & community.
Your videos are always perfectly timed for what advice I’m in need of ❤
I get anxious at night ❤️
Hello 👋 Ashley, I love your words you sound so interesting 😊 how are you doing?
Hey thank you so much
Thanks for watching! -Calista@TeamFairy
Many years ago a physical education instructor said that exercise was the best antidote for stress because stress hormones like adrenaline are metabolized by exercise.
Hello 👋 Lynne, I love the way you drop down your thoughts on note, you sound so interesting 😊 how are you doing?
I did it! I got up early and so far, I am feeling like I am able to accomplish that much more. Great suggestions here. Thank you.
You got this!
This is so good!!! Thanks...🥰
"Hamster wheel of doom," good one.
Thanks for listening! -Calista@TeamFairy
Can I just get this out please : I shut my brain down 50 years ago when I was 4.5 years old after I was kidnapped in the morning at school (went to bathroom) When I got out of the bathroom a man was standing there and he kidnapped me three me in his car Drove me a few blocks to a field where he violently attacked raped, Penetrated me with a large stick on and on he said he was going to the car to get a knife and be right back to kill me while he was gone a jogger miraculously Came by and saw my head lifted up and I left it at my arm even though I was paralyzed from head to toe, Hey scoop me up and ran me back to school. When I found out my parents weren’t going to do anything after they take me to the doctors and bandaged me up, I shut down because I didn’t get any help. 50 years later I remember now because four family members died and it shook my brain up enough to remember. So now I have seen PTSD and it is horrible and doctors don’t know how to treat it properly with the right medications. I am in hell
I'm so sorry you are suffering. I am sending you peace
I hope you find help don't give up YOU are a warrior.
We know Hell well. You CAN get through this. At age 49 going to my 2nd RTC (residential Treatment center. 1st was age 26.) on my first day my therapist told me ‘The Only Way Out Is Through’. I laughed and said I was proof positive that was dead wrong cause we’ve been finding secret passages to not deal (DID), she looked back at me (considering I was there b/c inner world explosion and Dissociation Identity Disorder) and asked how that’s been working so far. That was a AHA moment. It’s hard, messy, sucks…and you get to choose! Good Luck. Sending you much ❤
What you experienced - there are no words to even describe this. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I hope that you can find a good source of support, that works for you🙏 This channel is a great start and there are links to other resources, too. I wish you peace and happiness.
#6 would seem to be a hard one for people with C-PTSD. I went to AA meetings which helped get me on the road to sobriety but I still dreaded the meetings and found them somewhat triggering. I find most groups are not really "groups" at all but are dominated by one or two personalities that see the group as their personal "stage". I also noticed you said to put your hands on someone's shoulder when being kind. Hmmm.... maybe if you're a woman, but this is not without potential peril for a man in these times in which men are so easily and sometimes recklessly accused of sexual harassment. I'm a gay man, and even I know that any touching with a female can be misconstrued and taken offense at. I just express the kindness through words. I once opened a car door for a woman and she said , "Why are you doing that? Is they're a cliff?" LOL! No wonder men have given up on chivalry.
That's too bad. I have learned to just let men be gentlemen. They seem to really enjoy it, therefore I enjoy it. SOME guys do, anyway.
I could totally see 12 step meetings being dominated by one personality. That would be very annoying.
I'm not sure if you've ever had a video about workplace bullying? There's someone at work who can't stop nitpicking at me and it's triggering. I don't want to argue with this person so I always walk away. She hates that and has called me out on it before but I still walk away because I don't want to deal with her.
Here's my analogy for people beating themselves up that they suck at meditation (and who are tech nerds like me)
Imagine the last time your computer went nuts over some heavy duty program, the fans spun up, you go into the task manager and try to shut some things down to stop maxing out your CPU... Yeah, a bunch of tasks are still running in the background, but your computer is a lot calmer now
you are great. so ive been practicing this new life for some time now. It happened by some suffering and grace. I have never heard anyone describe better the human experience. i know ive said it before, thank you, you have a gift. You could say its just for me and it is for me. This gift you share is for all of us🙏
Thank you for your kind words! So glad you're here :) -Calista@TeamFairy
I am so very thankful I found you! You have saved my life in so many ways, I’m 47 and I have lived many years in hell from symptoms. I have made a huge turn because of you. Another thing that helped is resetting my adrenal gland through meditation.
Well, well, well, looks like I finally found my fairy godmother... and she's been hiding from me all these years! No wonder I've had so many tumultuous relationships and emotional rollercoasters. where have you been!
I have a great way to be happier and find lasting healing and love,,,, it's with JESUS,,,, 😀🙏✝️🙏🕯️💖
Excellent tips! I'd like to add a daylight lamp against winter depression and check out mineral deficits like magnesium and vitamin D. I find that also helpfull.
Hello 👋 Laura, I love your words you sound so kind, how are you doing?
For where I am at this list is good but quite overwhelming.
Small steps :)
-Cara@TeamFairy
I love starbucks...it always gets me up and going.
Omg, exercising is pure bliss! You are so right! Because of work reasons I had to stop going to the gym and I am finding myself spiralling really badly after only two weeks of break from being physically active, next week first thing is reactivating my membership 😍 totally agree with "working out with other people", helps me not dissociating so much while at the gym
I’m the opposite. The thought of going to a gym is terrifying.
One thing I noticed about exercise, is that it’s the one time during the day I don’t feel anxious and my brain stops worrying. It also makes me feel stronger, which in a way makes me feel literally more grounded.
It's extremely difficult if not completely impossible to get out of and stay out of bed as well as get outside to exercise hard when youre very depressed.
I like the word “here” as a mantra for the meditation for daily practice. It’s simple & reminds me to come back & be present.
Thank you, Anna! Thank you team crappy childhood fairy! 💕
Dr. Anna thank you for sharing your time giving us such useful information about people suffering from depression.
I have to set like 50 alarms to wake up. And if I have nothing to do, I won't even get up.
I get this.
Early is the best time of the day, no one has destroyed it yet. Its my me time.
I'm very goofy. I'm letting everything going badly in our world overwhelm me. I think its my job to fix it. Completely irrational. Any tips for those of us afraid of deregulation? When I recognize it starting, my fear of the place it takes me to makes it worse. Basically, I'm afraid of myself. When deregulated, I make a mess, can't focus, can't remember and fumble around until I'm despondent. So, all of the above techniques should help. This is something I hide. Live alone. No family members understand the syndrome, so I hide it to avoid judgement. Judgement makes my thoughts so much worse. I will keep trying until I succeed. Thanks
Hello 👋 Helen, I love the way you drop down your thoughts on note, you sound so interesting 😊 how are you doing?
Very good. Great voice. Nice disposition. Thanks.
I like your picture and hair here. ❤ Thank you for your words. You have a nice voice. We are sooooo CPTSD that we created multiple of us and have DID. Doing better now. Coming to terms with no one’s coming to save us & humanity is a huge disappointment; and somehow this has freed us that we don’t want most of humanity to engage with because they at such lower vibration. No more chasing anyone to be my friend. We’ve been learning how to in communication with one another and that we are enough. Spend our time creating.
Hello 👋 Rogue, I love the way you drop down your words on note, you sound so interesting 😊 how are you doing?
But mornings makes me so anxious !!
Me too!!
Anna and Community, thank you so much for all of these thoughts. Since i started the Daily Practice and took the course, I find if i do it 2xs a day, it makes a huge difference in the day. As I watch the many topic specific videos, i have found great support. When ready, I'll take the dating course. That I am thinking of that, means things are better! Anna, you look great. Thank you for your space and courage to share.
I'm so glad you're feeling some relief!
-Cara@TeamFairy
I started the daily practice about a year ago. I highly recommend it !!!
Am pretty sure am the only kid watching this 😢😢
I love how holistic these approaches are! There’s a book called Spark and after reading it a few years back I added exercise to my morning and it definitely helps. Thanks for all of this amazing information- you’re a gem!
I have adrenaline panic attacks from the moment I wake up, continues throughout the day . Great advice!

lready up at 5:40 am - 4:40am seems a little too early
I am so grateful and happy that I found your channel. I cant wait to listen to this one! CPTSD is a real thing for me and trauma healing. Your videos are great. Keep doing what you doing and never stop. So many of us need this and YOU are that light in a dark cold world❤
So much good advice! Thank you so much!!! You are very kind and so genuine and warm! I really appreciate that!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So many things you say just click. I was deprived of sleep the whole time I lived at my parents house, and I have not been able to get over it as an adult even with sleep therapy, medication, I just don't go to bed. It will be a real challenge to get up early. I would rather eat sugary foods (candy) than anything healthy.
It's interesting because a good few of the things listed here are what I have been doing to fulfil a "craving" sort of feeling, without realising it was probably my mind telling me to do it to reregulate. I've been doing stuff such as making the 20 minute walk home from work rather than jumping on a bus, following cardio workouts (sort of a virtual version of the moving in groups tip), avoiding getting involved in negative "chit-chat" with colleagues, praying -- and since taking up the daily practice about two months ago, I find I crave doing that too.
One thing I am hesitant to try is waking up an hour early! And not just for the obvious reason of squeezing in more zs, but also because from past experience I have come to realise that if there is any amount of time "spare" before I leave the house for work, I become restless and dysregulated; unable to peel my eyes off the clock and actually use that time productively.
No need to take all these suggestions (or any of them for that matter!). If one or two seem helpful, that is a fabulous step forward.
I was all in until, "Get up an hour earlier than you normally do." Lol.
I’m really struggling right now. Been going through things since 7 and now I’m 32 and something really bad happened and I’m reeling.
I need help but I can’t find a support group near me
Glad you are here :)

DON'T turn the television on in the morning to watch and listen to the news presenters spew out endless bad news.
On that note don’t doomscroll on your phone for hours in the morning
Thank you Anna.
What a great, valuable advice 💝✨✨✨💝.
Thank you, it came in the right time. I went down these last 12 months. A few hours ago, those depressive thoughts started again...
There was a reel from someone a few days ago that changed my perception: keep doing the positive things, here and there. It's the overall of the little actions that help the whole. Try and see if it doesn't change. Pick a huge glass full of water and start dropping a few drops of corant or a coloured drink. Keep pouring little by little, and see if nothing changes. Looking at the little things we do, thinking they're are the drops of colour in ourselves ❤

Years of medications and raising my children- now I’m 57 with nothing but klonopin and lexapro and severe exhaustion and depression. 25 years of different psych meds. Trauma-even the entire year of 2022. I feel dead inside. Need help getting off Klonopin. I’ve tried so many things for many years and now it seems I’m at the end of my life. Nothing left for me. I’m home- no job - doing my best to care for 2 family members. But feeling stuck and do not even want to wake up in the morning. What do I do. I feel alone in this. I’ve failed at life completely. Klonopin is the worst drug ever and wish I never listened to a psychiatrist in my life. I cannot remember any happy times other than my four babies and raising them. Now they’re grown. But my youngest is suffering so much. I’ve looked everywhere for help. There seems to be none but a miracle.
Thank you again Anna! I think I'm going play this video everyday as I drink my morning coffee.
Hello 👋 Diana, I love your words you sound so lovely, how are you doing?
I tried to return my daughter’s neighbor’s trash can to her yard. My son-in-law saw me and told me that was their trash can. I had to go back into the neighbor’s yard and remove the trash can. We all had a nice laugh.
I'll have to make that the 12th tip!
