Calling in sick from work because I haven’t slept in 48 hours is forced self care for me and I don’t want to do it.
I’d rather work and keep my mind busy; at home, I zone out and overthink, I get into my head and then the anxiety attack kicks in every time I breathe.

So here I am, with sleeping pills and my Headspace app on full blast.
What literally goes through my mind is “am I impacting others in my life?” “Will I ever get peace?” and “how is my body surviving right now?” and then I start to shake and not sleep in fear of not being able to wake up the next day.
I think 48 hours of listening and controlling my own breathing is enough to exhaust me right now.
I need help. I keep stressing about how mental health matters to everyone, but I don’t care about myself.
I feel so alone in my thoughts and this year made me realize how sabotaging I truly am to my body and mind.

I guess where I’m trying to go with this thread, is to listen to your mind, compare it to your heart and do what is right for you FIRST above all. If you’re stuck, trapped, if there is darkness you can’t address or uncover, know you’re not alone and you can ask for help. You can.
