If You Are Going Through a Rough Patch in Your Life, This Space is For You Too

I know there are many of you out there reading my articles and thinking, “Yes this feels like me right now.” But you are also thinking, “This isn’t a usual occurrence and it hasn’t been happening long or won’t happen long.”

Maybe it’s been a rainy month and the weather affects your mood. Maybe you’re going through a breakup or a job loss or can’t figure out what you want to do with your life and it’s got you down in the dumps.

Guess what?

I’m here for all of you, too.

Just because you don’t have a problem that is medical doesn’t mean you don’t need support or help through this time in your life. It’s okay to reach out. Mental health wellness is not just for those of us with an actual illness. If you are going through a rough patch in your life lately, your mental health wellness is not up to snuff either and if you’re here, that means you agree and are seeking help or answers or support or just someone who understands! Am I right?

I’ll tell you a secret, life sucks and it’s hard.

But it’s possible. For all of us.

Can I tell you another secret? I have to tell myself that every morning and every time my depression or anxiety gets the better of me(which is still more often than I would like). I sit and tell myself, “It’s going to be okay. It IS okay. Life goes on. Look at where I am now compared to where I was 6 months ago.”

So I’m here with you, understanding and living it.

And maybe you have a mental illness, maybe you’ve never been to a doctor so you haven’t been diagnosed or maybe you’re just going through a lot of shit right now and need a friend…whoever you are, reach out to me.
