## Caption

yesterday, i decided to start a new therapy tradition the hour before therapy starts. during this time, i listened to specific playlists centered around healing, and created the sketch for this illustration.

yesterday i talked all about my growth, more specifically how i’m experiencing post traumatic growth. reflecting on the past month, 6 months, and year really made me realize how much quitting my job saved me.

i’d honestly say that during almost all of 2021 while i was at my job, i knew there was something deeper wrong with me than the ADHD that went undiagnosed until i was almost 23. but i just didn’t know what.

right before i quit, i had suspicions of endo and PCOS because i started having very severe mid-cycle cramps as well as cramps at the start of my cycle. i hadn’t had these since starting birth control in 2016. i would also get incredibly depressed and feel so out of control & paranoid the week before my period.

i decided it was best to quit my job to put my health first. not just that, but i began to realize that social media management isn’t the route i want to go down.

i’m so proud of myself for putting myself first. someone mentioned it’s just like when simone biles left the olympics, which is a great comparison. it’s okay to walk away from the things we thought we loved and were good for us. not everything can stay in our lives forever and that’s okay. sometimes things are meant to be just a chapter.

tending to your mind and body when they need you most is one of the most beautiful acts of self-love 🤍
