We are just about halfway through the year. Yep. That fast. I know.

What are some things you’re proud of at this point in 2024? Doesn’t have to be work related, can be personal as well.

For example, I’m proud that I’m making it a point to focus on what my best mental health at least looks like. Trying to achieve it is work on its own, but I can at least say I’m working to be better in that area and I’ve made a concerted effort this year.

What about you?

Congratulations on taking the steps to care for your mental health, this is something I know I need to be doing but I have never been successful at making my own mental health a priority. Good luck with your journey! It has been a stressful year for me and I was just laid off. So, I am not sure I have anything to be proud about this year just yet. I hope everyone else is having a better 2024

Well. I hope you can find some momentum to get some wins within the rest of the year!

I can’t believe we’re at the midpoint already. This seems like one of those years that has to be survived, not lived. I’m definitely more aware of the role that good mental health should play, but on a personal level I feel like I don’t have time to make time for it (although I’m trying!).

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?
