This is from a personal friend of mine and she and her family are precious as they come!! Don't be afraid to reach out and sometimes just sharing your story, thoughts, fears or anything else can help sooo much!!

Two months of not feeling like myself. Two months of not being able to explain how I feel. But knowing thereβs no choice but to push through because of two beautiful babies. Feeling like Iβm falling deeper into the hole Iβve been digging myself out of for over a year. Dreading waking up everyday, just to force a smile and act like everything is great. Finding every excuse not to be around people when I could, and when I had to feeling I have no idea what to say or what to doβ¦
But for some reason today I woke up, decided to throw on some makeup and felt a little more normal than what I have in a long time. And to finish off the day, I made dinner for my family, in my kitchen, which I havenβt done nor enjoyed in a long time. Blessed to be able to make my family dinner to fuel their bodies.ππ
All of this to say that mental health is important. Yours, your friends, the person behind you in the grocery store. ππ
Asking for help, telling someone how you feel (or not knowing how you feel), or having to make the choice to walk away from someone who decides not be there for you in your darkest time is all OK. It may not feel like it in the beginning but if Iβve learned anything recently itβs that once you do that life with slowly start to be normal again, kind of. Oh and Iβm a big believer in prayer as well. ππ½ Heres to hopefully brighter days!
