It’s alright. Breathe, it’s ok not to feel ok. Process what you’re feeling and let it take its course while slowly letting it go. This feeling will only be temporary and you can get through it. Don’t feel guilty or beat yourself up for not being ok. It is part of life’s journey, just dust yourself off and keep making steps forward to a better tomorrow. Take things day by day. You got this!
I understand. It’s like the quiet before the storm. Things you notice about yourself, in your mind, it can almost feel like a physical manifestation within yourself. These things have their cycles, their way of coming and going. But those moments are not forever. Ride it out, process it when it comes, but don’t let it drown you. Sometimes figuring out the why is an empty quest that leads to more questions. Instead accept it and get through it head on, even if you fall back a bit, keep going.
Unfortunately for me “riding it out” would lead me to things I don’t actually want to. Some things you can’t ride out, and you need to take action. Trying to ride it out and push through it is what ended me up in the hospital. Go bring your toxic positivity elsewhere, it’s not helpful
Toxic positivity? Riding it out doesn’t mean not doing anything about it, first of all. Second, if you don’t want to do something, then don’t do it. A lot of humanity suffer from mental health issues and have “been there, done that”. What are you going to do to avoid it then when it ultimately comes? Play the victim? Or let it consume you and get to where you don’t want to go. Sometimes you gotta accept you have your demons to control them rather than fighting it and losing that battle.
