Alexia Fast Instagram – This may be surprising but 👀 It took me years to not feel ashamed or embarrassed of how I behaved when I was in the grips of mental illness. I felt like I had thrown my value out the window by acting strange and desperate. But I couldn’t control the symptoms. It was out of my hands…until I found the right medication that worked for me. In this period of stability I learned that my mental illness does not define who I actually am. Anyone who judges me based on who I was when I was symptomatic doesn’t have a place in my heart. Don’t let a mental health diagnosis define you. It’s a part of you that needs care yes, but it is not your “personality” or a choice. I think a lot of people forget that… #wellness #wellnessjourney #healthandwellness #wellnesslifestyle #wellnesswarrior #wellnesstips #wellnessgoals #wellnesslife #emotionalwellness #wellnessinfluencer #wellnesstip #wellnessforlife #wellnessroutine #wellnessentrepreneur #wellnessliving #wellnessclub #wellnessrevolution #wellnessforall #wellnessquotes #wellnesssuccess #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #mentalillnessawareness #mentalillnessfeelslike #bipolardisorder #bipolarbabesclub #bipolardisorderawareness
