“Some days, things just take way to much of my energy” – Ariana Grande
Those words are resonating with me so hard right now.
I’ve had a couple of REALLY great weeks, maybe 2 months or so? But the big crash came. aii what’s new right? If you suffer from a mental illness I’m sure you’ll understand what I am saying. Or maybe you don’t and you just know that life has its ups and downs. But how do we get through it? I think how we get through it is what defines us. I say that with the utmost sensitivity, and speaking from experience where I haven’t dealt with it as well as I would like.
I’ve written about what helps me when I have my moments, but what happens when nothing is working? What happens when it all seems to much? I’m asking because I don’t have all the answers, and I am still figuring it all out one step at a time.
I’ll tell you what I am trying right now. I’ve reached out to a really good friend, and I am listening to music and writing this blog. Overloading my brain with as much as I can to calm my mind and stay as present as I can. (wrote this part last night, and the next part today)
I am so grateful to the person who pulled me out of a dark place last night. If you are reading this, thank you. Sometimes all we need to do is talk, maybe not even about the problem at hand, but just to take your mind off things. Sometimes we just need to look at things from a fresh perspective.
I would like to encourage you to not be too hard on yourself. Last night I was beating myself up so badly about not being able to hold things together, but the truth is… things can’t be perfect all the time, and beating ourselves up about it won’t change the situation but rather make it worse.
Please be patient with yourself, especially when it comes to healing. Having bad day’s is okay, take your time and work through it. Do something that makes you smile, makes you laugh and then when you are feeling stronger, go at it with a fresh mind.
Thank you for reading
Until next time my lovely souls, remember that you are loved.
