A list of things I did in jail/prison to pass the months/year. Read books, write out recipes, journal, play cards, board games, talk on the phone, listen to music, watch TV, cook, bake, walk laps, clean, write letters. Those were the only options available. (1)

Jail I didnt have all those options. If i could survive inside doing only those things so can you. Feeling powerless, loss of control? You learn to deal with it. There is nothing you can do. So either make your time harder or learn to let it go. (2)

You can worry all you want but it impacts your mental health. Did you know I was diagnosed with Anxiety, depression and personality disorder with anti social traits inside? Yes that's what happens when your isolated and allow your mental health to get the best of you. (3)

I have a clean bill of health now (besides my ADHD) my environment caused those things. They could have gotten worse if I didn't start thinking positive. Are times tough right now? Yes they are. Is the future unknown? Yes it is. We are strong and we can make it through it. (4)

Lately I've been feeling like I'm back in prison cuz of the situation n being so far from home. But I have to remind myself of the things I have that I didnt have there. I have animals here, I don't have to run to my cell for head count, no fighting over the kitchen (5)

With 12 other women, I can smoke, i can video call my family, i can sleep in my underwear, I can put my feet up on the table, I get more than 18 TV channels, I have social media, I can wear a hoodie, if I want to stay in my pjs I can, no one is coming to my room to tell me (6)

I'm a piece shit and will never amount to anything, I'm not getting raided and strip searched. The list goes on and on. Today I must be grateful and not allow my negative thinking to consume my life. Huge shout out to everyone dealing with mental health issues (7)

And people trying to stay clean. Times are tough right now but I see you and know how you're feeling. You can do this I believe in you. Stay clean, dont give up on life. You're important and people care about you! (end)
