Gotta get something off my chest, so sorry if this is too personal or TMI…

I really hate how my mental health has really plummeted. I mean, I’m still okay and carry on (as it’s what’s expected of me) but man is it difficult. Made multiple trips to hell in back since early December last year and I’m still wondering how I made it this far.

I know I stay strong for my friends and family but that in itself is tiring too. The weight that the exhaustion brings is getting heavier by the day. But I’m still chugging along though…not sure how but still kicking (nervous laugh).

Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest.

Also, an important point I’d like to make is check on your nearest and dearest, especially the strong ones. You just never know how tired they are and need that support (whatever form it comes in).

Lastly, please don’t neglect your mental health. Goodness gracious, just don’t. Talk to a family member or friend that’s willing to listen and can empathize (not sympathize). Get help from a therapist. Try journaling. Exercise. Play with dogs. Video games! Whatever helps, do it!
