Hello, I’m Drixkie — welcome to my little corner of the internet:
"It’s Okay"
This space is for anyone who’s ever thought,
“Life and I am a real mess right now… I want to help myself, but I don't know where to start.”
I’m not a therapist, but I’ve spent years working in the mental health industry and worked and trained as a Psychological First Aid Responder in the Philippines.
I can’t provide therapy, or professional advice - at all. What I can do is direct you to verified mental health resources, whether you’re in the Philippines, the UAE, or (eventually) beyond. Think of this as a human-curated guide to resources, sprinkled with little reminders that you’re doing your best with what you have and what you know - and It's Okay - it's okay and there's still a way to make it better, and this corner will do it's best to point you to the doors for that.

I know the term "It's Okay" may not sit well with some people, because we all know that it really isn't and that is also okay to not be okay... but I chose this particular one for a very personal reason.
It is because for every time I tried, every time I failed, and was on the edge, it's the one thing - the first thing - I told myself that wasn't judgmental or critical or blaming.
It was the FIRST SENTENCE I ever said to myself, that was actually loving and accepting - after years of self-hatred, self-blame, self-shaming. I often told myself things like, "I should have known better...", "If only I knew how, I could have...", "I am not good enough, that's simply it..."
Working on that, of course, led me to be more positive. They were helpful but, it was always something like, "just chin up", "no point in dwelling", "do what's in your control", "what can I do to make it hurt less"...
The thoughts were forward but, thing is... I am hurting now.
When I said, "It's Okay" the first time... I let me be me - however sad, angry or wanting to give up. I felt for once I allowed myself to feel and I allowed myself to take up space and not be at fault. Allowed myself to not have the answers, to be defeated, to mourn, to give up without losing the hope of it can get better...
To me.. "It's Okay" means... just feel and exist as I am: Imperfect and Still Trying.
I can give up the battle now, so I can win the war in the future.
