Therapy is one of the best things you can do for yourself regardless of how happy you are.

Through it I found that I have situational and seasonal depression & obsessive and compulsive behaviors (not OCD)!

[thread]
I learned how these things manifest and how to try to gain control of it.

It& #39;s not perfect every time but I have been doing a lot better since recognizing it.

I still have days where I will just lay on the couch and do nothing for hours but it& #39;s less than it used to be!
I also learned what hobbies affect my mental health / spoons and how to reprioritize.

My relationship with my husband has been the best it& #39;s ever been since learning these things!
I am still very much in therapy and it& #39;s still helping me understand. Having someone that is an unbiased person to talk to really helps put things in a better light for me.
I understand that therapy isn& #39;t affordable by everyone, unfortunately, but at the absolute minimum being open about your struggles with people you trust can help you.
I& #39;m not perfect and never will be but my friends shared their life with me and through them I learned about myself and ways to try to control things until I could get into therapy.

I am absolutely not shaming those that can& #39;t go or don& #39;t feel ready yet.
I just want to normalize that therapy is for everyone regardless of how "fine" you might think you are.

Also don& #39;t compare your struggles to others to justify why you don& #39;t think you need therapy.
If someone is drowning in 6 ft of water and someone else is drowning in 60 ft, you don& #39;t look at them and go "obvs the 60ft drowning person has it worse." they& #39;re both drowning. They both need help.

Therapy is for everyone https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">
