Mama Knows Best

Reconnecting with my mom has been tough and my brain is messy right now, but there's one thing I know for sure (that she taught me): my faith is rooted in my love for my family. I speak on many topics here, including: how my lack of emotional intelligence/awareness, unstable housing, and neglectful healthcare practices impacted my mental health as an adolescent (age 15-26); coming to terms with my abusive relationship (with my mom's help); talking myself out a guilt spiral; codependency; how working in a queer space saved my life. | #TWCW: abusive ex, suicidality, addiction, housing instability, houselessness/homelessness, healthcare neglect, eating disorder (*please let me know if I need to add another warning*) | https://www.gofundme.com/f/rae-survival-fund | #amfaq #emotionalintelligence #abusesurvivor #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #depression #anxiety #cptsd #bipolardisorder #livedexperience #unstablehousing
