I was just notified by email that this was posted. I’m grateful I was because it forced me to actually ask myself if I’m okay. I’m not okay right now. This season of life feels heavy, like there’s an elephant on my chest and a boa constrictor wrapped around me. I’m overwhelmed and I feel isolated. My isolation is partially chosen because it feels safer than taking the chance of putting myself through any more emotional burden at this time. It’s been a good opportunity to look inwards and reevaluate my habits, wellbeing, goals, desires, and character defects. I feel like I’m in a minefield of rabbit holes I’m trying not to fall into though. My life is not ‘bad.’ I practice gratitude and prayer, for I have so many blessings. Depression, loneliness, and overwhelm is where I’m struggling. I’m trying to practice more mindfulness to help myself be in the moment. It does help quite a lot, and can get me moving again if I’m in a state of paralysis. It’s one day at a time. Sending so much love to you, Janice ❤️ and to everyone else who may read this as well.
