Honestly, this week was probably one of the worst weeks I’ve ever had in terms of my mental health.
Everyday I woke up feeling anxious and nervous, and my chest felt like it was literally being crushed. I call it confusion-heartbreak, but you may call it having a really bad anxiety attack.
Although I tried to talk to people about how I was feeling, I still kept feeling the same way no matter how much I spoke up about my health. I kept feeling like throwing up, and I noticed that I also fidgeted with my ring a lot throughout the week.
Eventually, after talking to my friend, I felt a lot better and distracted from my anxiety.
Today was probably the best way I could’ve finished the week. Not only did I not have any anxiety attacks, I felt comfortable and happy for once. I loved listening and vibing to music while playing handball with my friends, and I just felt so light and free after such a long time of feeling tight, anxious and sad.
I know there are going to be days, and possibly weeks that my mental health will be just like this, but it’s important to remember that it’s only temporary. Don’t put yourself down because you aren’t as productive or motivated as you usually might be, and don’t compare yourself to other people. Take time for yourself, do what makes you happy, talk to positive people who are willing to listen to you, and most of all, be patient with yourself.
Trust me, it’s going to get better. It just takes time, effort and a lot of patience <3
