No matter how tough it gets out there, I’m sure you’ve seen me losing my mind, out of sorts, way off tangent with my usual blogging, and I’m sure it’s just as frustrating to watch someone fall apart as it is to experience it yourself.

Remember you are human, don’t lose faith that you will recover, repair, and reach some better state of mind and being without all the pain confusion or worry. You’ll get your confidence back. It’s only a matter of time, but like me someone who is shy, it takes time to be social talk work on simple steps, eye contact, talking, reaching out, therapy, group support. I mean being alone is great but I have experienced the benefit of living life around others, similarly struggling, and was so lucky to be around people in recovery. It’s not as scary when you see everyone else, but I’m sure when you’re alone like me, it feels like more work to get from A-B, than it really should be.

Maybe it won’t take a day, maybe your back to one day at a time, however you decide to not be hard on yourself and let up, that uptight feeling convinced things are not okay or will not get better, is just your fear, that’s the piece of you affecting your thinking. Aim for clarity, do one thing after the other right, pace yourself, build better habits, and that’s how to improve from one day to the next. Like me yesterday compared to me today, is like night and day. Depressed yesterday, a little down, but motivated woke up early and working on changing all my content back to normal. It’s a process to come up with a new system, but look forward to appearing more legit and professional online, with paragraphs and citations, get back to self-help writing, not just focus on mental illness, it’s a challenging subject I’m sure, not easy to understand or imagine, its okay.

There’s a great PDF available on mentalhealth.org.uk on Fear and Anxiety, check it out:

According to mentalhealth.org.uk, “Fear is one of the most powerful emotions. It has a very strong effect on your mind and body. It’s a human response that is vital for our survival. It helps us respond to emergencies or dangerous situations; for example, if there is a fire or we’re being attacked. It can also occur in more everyday, non-life-threatening events like exams, public speaking, a job interview, a date, or even a party. It’s a natural reaction to events that put you under pressure.”
