Closure
It was a dream I hadn’t had in years, but it came to me that night. I was standing in a field, its hairs long and wispy green, holding a rope. On the other end of the rope stood a bull, the cord wrapping around its thick girth. We stood at a fence. I knew, in that elusive way one knows in dreams, that I needed to corral the bull into the pen, but he would not budge. I pulled on the rope and he stood, staring at me with stubborn eyes, wind whistling from his nose as he exhaled. I tried everything to get him to move. I commanded. I pleaded. I begged. I spoke to him in gentle, beckoning tones. I ignored him, one eye peering over my shoulder to see if he stirred without my watchful eyes upon him. I tried it all and still, he would not move. I grew more and more desperate, pulling on the rope with fervour until I woke from the dream with a start, the image of the immovable bull still fresh in my mind. The clock read 4:32 AM. I sighed, feeling the last of my connection to the sleeping world being severed, and begrudgingly began to get ready for the day.

Affirmation Playlist: Replacing Limiting Beliefs
I have struggled with my mental health for several years now. I struggle with Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, psychosis, anxiety, and more. At this point, my list of mental illnesses rivals the length of a Tolstoy novel. My treatment has been a rollercoaster. At times, it feels like I am being carted back and forth between hospital admissions, psychiatry appointments, and therapy. Though these have been very helpful, I find that my treatment requires more than just bi-weekly therapy appointments. I deal with symptoms of my mental illness everyday and so, I require daily practices to manage my symptoms.
