Mental Health BlogPublished about a year ago in PsycheThe Day My Reality Changed
On February 2nd 2019, I experienced a traumatic event that changed a lot about the way I live and how I take care of myself. Before this event occurred I used to have a very unhealthy diet and not take much care of myself in other ways as well, I got to the point where I was drinking up to two two liters of soda a day, and was also eating pretty unhealthy food. I used to not care about what I was putting in my body or how processed certain foods were and I would eat or drink it regardless of how bad the stuff was for me, and I also didn't really exercise much back then. Now my diet is much different and I also feel like I take better care of myself to the extent that I am able to.
