My Mental Health Journal

I write my blog to get down the thoughts I’m feeling at the time as it helps get them out of my head in some way. Stops me from thinking about them too much and dwelling on them. Another reason for them is to reach out and help others that are going through the same ordeal, the same struggles and to let others know that they are not on their own.

I hate feeling the way I do, the daily struggles of trying to find the motivation to get things done, the feeling of what’s the point of living when I feel like this, the tired feeling, not just physically but mentally too, trying to out on a brave face to others. But then I also think about others that are going through this and I want to be there to help them, to try and get through to them that there is hope. I know I don’t always see it myself but I have to keep believing that there is something better in the future, everyone tells me that it will. I wouldn’t wish any mental health issues on anyone, no matter how big or small because I know how crap it feels, I wouldn’t even wish this on my worst enemy. I really want to help people and be there for them if they are ever in need of someone to talk to. I often reach out, asking individuals if they are ok, If I see someone on social media finding things hard I will ask them if they need someone to talk to, I’ll listen to anyone and if I can somehow be of assistance then I’ll be there because I know I’d want someone to be there for me.

We all need to stick together as these past couple of years have been so difficult for a lot of people. Spread kindness and offer help to others who aren’t coping well. If we all did our bit to help someone else the world would be a far better place. As the saying goes, be kind, always. 💚
