3 ways you can take care of your body after a depression
Do these things if your abuser still body shames you...
Let’s talk about what to do when you have a relapse, due to depression, triggers, or everyday stress, or may be some hurtful message from an abuser.
Any stressful life event can result in a relapse or a brief loss of motivation.
Here are some recommendations.
Identify the stressful event.
I experienced some stressful events in the past three weeks. First, was a rejection from a prestigious program I applied to. The other was an unpleasant news from a family member. Another was a position I applied for, which I lost. The last was an update from my lawyer about my divorce- and it was not good news as well.
All these events threw me off balance. I kept thinking about these series of unfortunate events, so much that I had to distract myself, by scrolling through social media, went to bed really late, was unmotivated to get out of bed,
When we get overwhelmed with responsibilities, we can lose track of things, and I think it’s okay to make those mistakes. But, doing nothing about them will change nothing.
Do something about today. Forget tomorrow!
I know how painful defeat is. I also know that self-guilt feels like. One of the things that I have learned to do, when I feel guilty for missing my routine, or waking a little late, or not doing what I should have done, is that give myself another change to start again, or pick up where I left off. I want you to learn to do the same. Yes, you woke late yesterday, you didn’t add veggies to your food, or you didn’t drink enough water. It is okay. Pick up from where you left off.
Praise yourself
One of the things that an abusive relationship, family or work setting does to you, is you forget yourself. You don’t give yourself enough credit. You underappreciate yourself, and I want you to begin to unlearn these things. If you learn to praise yourself, you will learn to always strive towards becoming a better you. Yes, you are hurting. Yes, you lost that job! Yes, the pregnancy didn’t make again. But you are alive.
You didn’t lose your life despite these hardships. Praise yourself! Praise yourself! Praise yourself! When you learn to praise yourself, you learn to help yourself. Self-love will always drive you towards helping yourself. I think it is in order to say we all need a bit of narcissism.
Talk to your body. You have control now!
“He simply wanted to crush me. That message got me. Since then, I vowed to take my body seriously. He actually thought he was breaking me. He was actually helping me crush my goals. Since then, I started to work out every day. I commit to doing this consistently now.” Here are the screenshots of some of the messages from this ex.
I am adding those screenshots to my book, Workout From Depression.
