Hey Talveons,
If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I recently experienced a meltdown. I am very outspoken about mental issues and honestly, the past week or so has been difficult for me. I wish I could say I've been taking better care of myself and listening to my body but that is just not the case.
I always envision my depression/mental issues as a black pit that spirals down like a hurricane with no eye in the center. Once I start going down it's always hard for me to climb back out. I tried to focus on trees, weird as it sounds, so I can climb back up the branches like Jack and the Beanstalk so let's try that.
I try to keep the phrases Always Keep Fighting & You Are Enough in the front of my mind so that I can find the strength to tackle each day. Each day a new tree branch and a little higher towards the top of the pit.
I heard a phrase once that, something may be trivial to one person but catastrophic for another. This stands out to me anytime I have a breakdown and my negative brain tries to convince me that I'm just dumb for reacting the way I do. Something that seems really dumb to others may be the last straw for someone else.
Whatever you are upset about is valid. And as I always say take a moment, a day or week/s if you need to, but don't live in the negativity. Find something to latch onto and don't let go.
Yes, I'm talking to myself as well.
2020 really did a number on all of us and although a new year has begun, sadly we are facing similar issues as this pandemic continues for the time being. Now I'm not blaming the current crisis for my meltdown, honestly, I'm not sure what triggered me this time. Yet we all know the level of isolation, frustration, and adjustment everyone has had to make. These things certainly do not help the situation.
Since I don't want to end this post on a negative note I will focus on my favorite phrases, start to push my positive roots out, start climbing out my pit, and wish you all a great week ahead. We got this.
Always Keep Fighting. You Are Enough.
