My name is Venuz, I am 33 years old. I struggle with mental health like many of you out there, I also am a Type One Diabetic, I was diagnosed when I was just 5 turning 6 years old. I do not remember much about my diagnosis, majority of it I do. I have a rescue fur baby his name is Toby, and I love that dog very much so! Hes the love of my life! I am attending school as well, yes its tough attending school and work fulltime, but I am dong what I can to make it.
I love music, horror and comedy movies, I love going to concerts whenever I get the chance to. I love reading, as well as writing, I do not go out very much, other than taking Toby my dog for his daily walks, which I do enjoy just as much as he does. Majority of the time I rather just stay in and stay in bed other than walking the dog. I like attending to my therapist appointments, my therapist now I feel comfortable and happy with him, as it took me a while to find one I felt comfortable with.
I love riding my bicycle and taking Toby with me whenever I go out for a bicycle ride, as it makes me feel free. Riding my bicycle makes me happy as it helps me clear my mind just as much as walking does. If I had a car I would go out on drives as it also is calming in some type of way just as much as riding a bicycle.
Everyday I try to take it slow, and remind myself to love myself a little bit more, and remind myself that I am worthy, and more than just enough. I try to take things slow, and do what I can to romanticize my life and see the beauty in everything. I do what I can do see the positive in every negative, and uplift someone that may be having a bad day, just as much as I do for myself. Everyday I remind myself that everything will be okay, as well as not stress myself for the things I cannot change, and the things I am able to change turn them in to the best thing. Some days can be rough but what I like to do when such days happen is to stay in with the dog, and do some self care, such as getting in the tub, put on a face mask, put Netflix/Amazon Video a podcast or a YouTube video on the background and relax. Journal to get my mind clear before taking a nap after getting in the hot tub. Also read a book, paint my nails and talk to my dog, helps me relax if I do stay at home and not do anything else. Reminding myself that it was just one ugly day, and that I can always turn it around and make it the best day ever, even if I stay in for the day/night. Pampering myself/selfcare days are always a good thing, specially if you just want to say in for the day/night and just stay in bed and do nothing else. It’s what I do.
