Hey everyone!
Happy October! I can’t believe another month has flown by. I feel like I just blinked and the first week of October was gone. Granted I have been kept busier than usual.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been processing a huge amount and my brain is so tired. I got some news that knocked me for six, I saw some family and the stress is never-ending. I’ve realized some things about myself and I decided to go to therapy again.
I don’t know about you but I have never found it easy to ask for help, I’ve always shied away from being vulnerable with people. I’ve always fought my battles silently but it has come to the point where I can’t do it on my own anymore and admitting to that has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.
Losing people is never easy, saying goodbye is something that I have become accustomed to but now all those goodbyes have become too heavy to carry and I’ve started to struggle. Then my doctor caught me in a sensitive mood and I cracked. We went from talking about my diet to talking about grief. She then convinced me to get back into therapy. I am so thankful to her.
It is hard to ask for help, but sometimes we are forced to.
I had my first session today and even though I am feeling very scattered and overwhelmed, I am very grateful that I took that step again. There is no shame in needing help, there is no shame in needing someone to talk to. There is no shame in being vulnerable.
I encourage anyone who feels bogged down by life to go and ask for help, even if you just talk to a friend that you trust, we can’t keep bottling things up and expect a positive result. Life always happens and it doesn’t take much to break that bottle.
Anyway, I hope this finds you all well out there! Its a time of changing seasons and the end of the year is creeping up on us. Let’s all take a moment and think of something that we’re grateful for…
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE AIR I BREATHE. 🙂
Until next time,
Love and Light.
