All about the balance.

Life is all about the balancing act.
How you spend your time.
What you focus on.
Where you put your values.
How you shed your tears.
On the other side of every hard time is a beautiful time…patiently waiting for you.
Never lose hope.
But you will certainly lose your balance.
But find the things that bring you back and let them guide you to where you need to go.
Never come back the same way for it is those lessons that teach us the most.
Living and learning instead of pain and suffering.
Release me.💚

Such a circle of pain. In the very beginning of my journey,I remember my grief counselor saying you will lose friends. In my head I was like great how much more loss can I take? I also remember a couple of times when I said no to things, people would say its best if you go out, maybe not understanding that its a chore to get ready, pretending to listen to conversations but you can’t because your brain has you worrying about everything, and doubting why you came out at all. Then if you stay home you see the pictures on social media, and feel lonely. You start to doubt who you are anymore, Who would want to be around me, I am not fun, I am sad, I am in pain, I hurt. I did lose friends. Those who could not understand my grief. Those who couldn’t understand I need to be with my grief alone and it had nothing to do with them. And I also realized that it was ok to feel this way. I would say to people please continue to ask me to do things. I want to be there and laugh and dance but somedays its to hard. Please don’t forget about me, I am struggling, my needs change constantly. I am trying to hold my friendship together but its hard because I can barely breathe on somedays.
So for those who are struggling , it is ok to feel a million things. You feel like a hypocrite. I want to do something, no I want to stay home. Remind your Friends of your battles. If you lose friends its ok. It doesn’t mean they are bad people, they are just not able to support you. You will find others will!! You are not a burden! You are in transition!! Love and Light my Friends!💕

One of the biggest stigmas associated with mental illnesses, medication.I hear it a lot. I am afraid to go to therapy because they may want me to take medication . People sometimes are more terrified to take medication then possibly feel better. When you have an organ that is not working properly you may have to take medication to feel better. Like an inhaler for asthma, insulin for diabetes etc. All of our brain chemistry is different. You may need medication in the beginning to stabilize you. You may not need medication at all. I just want people to know, that its ok either way. Get the help that you need.
If you are friend of someone who takes medication please do not say comments like, they must be off their meds...
This makes people uncomfortable to share their lives. No one wants to be known as the crazy person. No one would chose to live a life with depression, anxiety. This is not a choice for them.
For those who are struggling, with treatment and tools you can live a happy and healthy life!!
Love and Light My Friends!💕
