"No one is entitled to anything and life isn't fair."
one thing that we all deserve is a great mental health because if we are honest, life is going to disappoint us whether we want it or not and it usually happens when we least expect it. Being mentally strong is not easy but it is possible, these past few weeks I was not strong mentally and I am glad that somehow slowly but surely I am doing better. When you feel low on energy, weak mentally and uncapable to even do your laundry let me remind you that it is okay; we all feel low at times but what is not okay is to let yourself be comfortable in that position. We need to make an effort to improve ourselves even when it is terrifying, I admit the work you have to put in to get yourself back up after you've been low for quite some time can be daunting but it is not impossible.
When you feel like life is not worth living think about all the beautiful things you've accomplished and all the things you want to do, think about all the people who loves you and would be sad if you weren't here anymore, think about the future yes I know it can be terrifying especially if things aren't working out right now but that can also change. Life can be so different next year, you and I can be the happiest we've never been. Let's not give up because we are having a bad week it doesn't necessarily means that we are having a bad life. But one thing I realize in the midst of my sadness is that finding the cause of our sorrow can be helpful to see the source of the problem because believe me we don't get sad for nothing, there is always something even if it has always been there but you simply didn't realize. Facing your fears and emotions is a great way to get back up because you are reacting you are not numb to what is happening to you at that point you can talk it out, cry, get mad (moderately please don't shoot someone lol) and you will probably hate the process but knowing what the problem is will help you solve the situation.
Negative self talk is extremely crucial, the worst thing you can do to yourself while you're already sad is to talk bad about yourself because you are afflicting another pain on yourself and you are only making it worse. It is a constant battle to always remind yourself that you are good enough even when everything around you is making you feel that you aren't but let's not look at what other people are doing, let's not compare ourselves to anyone else you think is better than you and let's not dwell on the past because what happened was for a reason and do not lie to yourself and say it could've been any different. I always tend to give people chances because I want people to give me a second chance but sometimes it's best to say goodbye and move on. Sometimes revisiting the past can cause you pain and you don't deserve that much pain believe me.
when you are at a low place do not accept it yes fight to get out, you can admit that you aren't doing good at the moment and you can cry but do something !! and act fast before it becomes the new normal. one thing I realize listening to sad songs, watching sad movies and overly romantic movies when you feel alone can make you even more sad. Let's stay away from those and let's watch movies that will make us laugh, let everything be light. I realize that spending too much time watching movies, tiktoks or even on social media can be draining. I always delete my social media even if It's for a week I always end up deleting it... which to me is a mental health prevention but you don't have to do that ! you can do whatever you think is best for you it could be disabling your account for a week or spending less time watching videos or less time on your phone can help.
