Some days I want to be dead, some days I want to be alive. Why am I flipping?

Last week I loved life, this week I hate it! Why can’t my brain move on from trauma??? I keep flipping between the joy and sadness. Anger and forgiveness. Spiralling and having dark thoughts 😭

I would point out, this is very common. You're unique but not alone! I keep a mental list of good things I have done to use when I get those feelings. Little stuff, I've returned lost wallets, helped people with car troubles on the side of dark roads, rescued a few birds. I call it my hero list!

Tell me something good you've done. Something small with no expectation of reward.
