Why am I writing this?

About:

I’m in my 30s, educated, professional, and recovering from an 8 year love affair with an alcoholic. Jesscape represents my hope that sharing my story will hold open an empathic space for others recovering from family-related addiction issues and empower me to own my story.

Please note: I am in no way a life coach, expert, or health professional. If you are in distress or curious about life improvement, I encourage you to seek out services in your community. There is no greater investment than one you make in yourself!

Hello, good morning. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I disappeared. I’m sorry. ⁣⁣ ⁣ It’s not you, it’s me. Really!⁣ ⁣⁣ This platform has meant a lot to me in recovery. Its given me an outlet, a voice, and a family of people struggling in the same ways with the same kinds of problems. It helped me to sort through the jumbled mess that is my thoughts, feelings, and my perception of myself and the world around me. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My recovery continues. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I continue to flex my new muscles and work at keeping myself in check. There are times when I fall into old patterns of thinking and have to yank myself back from those old familiar fallback friends: self loathing, catastrophizing, and codependence (to name a few). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ There is still undeniable pull and strange comfort in the strategies that kept me going for the better part of my life. Especially when life gets crazy and stressful... which it does from time to time...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But I deserve better. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And I’m working on giving myself what I deserve. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ That said... why aren’t I writing? I wish I had a better answer for you. But the truth is, I don’t. The simplest one is: I need a break. So, I’m taking a leave of absence while I figure out what, if anything, to do with this platform. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In the meantime, I wanted to let you know that you are valuable. You are loved. And you are important. Even if it doesn’t feel that way today, you are. And I hope that, like me, you continue to work at giving yourself what you deserve. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Xo.

News to me: love isn’t going down with the ship. That’s codependency, dysfunction, and unhealthy love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for the lesson. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Regram @theangrytherapist⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #selfcare #selflove #loveyourself #wellness #health #mentalhealth #beauty #motivation #healing #inspiration #happy #mentalhealthawareness #life #positivevibes #selfcarethreads #happiness #healthy #compassion #recovering #selfawareness #codependent #codependency #addiction #mentalhealthblogger #trusttheprocess #onedayatatime #progressnotperfection #onedayatatime #acoa #myjesscape
