Seeking out that thread...




I've been having a hard time of it lately, mental health wise. Just throwing it out there, I shouldn't be ashamed.


I have felt heavy and burdened (with what? i don't know). I have felt un-worthy, crap at everything etc etc.


What I've learnt though, in the darkest moment there is always a thread of light to reach out to. 
Today for example is a tonne better than yesterday. I just had to wait for today to be here.  I have things to grasp onto and no longer feel as heavy and burdened.  I'm not naive, I know there will be times I will feel low again but I just have to grasp onto that thread of light.


Sometimes there are reasons for me to feel the way I do and other times its just the chemicals in my brain being absolute bastards!


Thankfully, I have been blessed with a very understanding husband and friends.


One verse that jumped out at me yesterday was Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength".  It became a bit of a mantra for me and it seemed to work.


I need to focus on positives, visit friends, socialise and not hide myself away when I start to feel low again.  


I urge you, if you start to feel dark or low, seek out that thread of light, see a friend, go to the cinema, eat some chocolate. Anything! Don't wallow in it. 


BE BLESSED :)
