Hey all,
Happy Friday!
So, today I want to talk about mental health and how it has (and still does) affect me and how I live. Lately, I've been struggling with my mental health and it's been hard to get out of my head and my own thoughts. Having general anxiety and depression is something I take very seriously because it does have a big impact on my life and can be very challenging. I've had a lot of lows with this diagnosis and sometimes I think there is more to it but all I can do is take it day by day. I'm not going to lie; these past 2 months have been a bit challenging for my mental health due to not have been finding a job and just being in the house 24/7. That is why it is so important for me to take my medication each and every day because if I miss a more than 2 days than my brain starts to un-wire and fix everything it's been working for with the medication. So, if you do take medication for your mental health, DO NOT BE ASHAMED. It took me a long to not be ashamed myself because I hated that I needed something to help me be happy. But I've realized that if I want to feel better and be myself, it is important to take something that will make me....ME.
However, with this week being stressful and just an overall disappointment, I've had to reset my mind by myself. It isn't the easiest to do that but it is possible by focusing and making sure that I focus on my future and what it will hold for me. With that being said, it wasn't long after a HORRENDUS day yesterday that I got a text message from a company that I applied for to set up an interview. I guess when one thing goes wrong, another thing comes to replace it with some good vibes. And I thank God because I was so mentally exhausted yesterday.
I am truly thankful for the people who have reached out to make sure I was okay or sent me positive vibes and energy. That truly means a lot to me because those darkest moments can really be brought into the light by support, encouragement, and overall positive energy.
This image was sent to me through Facebook by an old middle school friend of mine and I very much appreciated it because the message truly depicts of my feelings yesterday. If anyone wants to talk about anything or just need a person that needs to listen about whatever...I'll always be here. It is super important that we express our feelings and talk about our mental health like Simone Biles and/or Michaeal Phillips. Being not okay is okay but not speaking up about it or asking for help isn't.
You can contact me either through the contact form on my blog, Facebook, or Instagram! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
