Sometimes life kicks you on your ass and you feel like you can't get up no matter how hard you try. It feels like the harder you try, nothing changes and the more exhausted you get until you just can't get off the couch or even muster up a simple smile.
I've been there more than once and I just want you to know that you are going to be okay. I sincerely just want to stress that point, if there's any takeaway, its this - you are going to be okay. You are safe. You are loved. You are going to be okay. Repeat it to yourself over and over if you have to, as I have had to.
When I'm going through something that is so overwhelming and I can't possibly see a solution, I tell myself, everything is going to be okay. This is gonna pass at some point and life is going to change and get better. Life is always changing and moving and flowing, so it only makes sense that when life changes, so will you and so will your situation.
Secondly, I hope you have people in your life telling you that everyday and hugging you everyday. I know what it’s like to struggle to show up for yourself or anyone else and be on the edge.. and I think in those times we need other people to help get us through the day because they have to be strong for you. And that’s okay.
Whatever you’re feeling, just remember that better days will come and hold onto that because I promise it’s true. If you can just do one thing, just hold onto that thought.
When I was going through the hardest time of my life, I closed myself off to everyone who cared about me and I went through it alone. I felt alone and it didn’t make it any easier to get through each day.
So I hope you have just one person to hug you and tell you that it’s gonna be okay. And if not, let me be that person and tell you it’s going to be okay. And send you a virtual hug whenever this reaches you and however this reaches you.
Healing from depression or grief or sadness doesn’t have to be complicated, you just have to know that a better day will come and hold onto faith that it’s true.
I’m writing this for me in Jan / Feb this year and for you today.
I can’t promise that the rest of your life will be perfect but I can promise that you will be okay and you will get through this moment. It will pass and you will see the sun again.
You are a warrior. You are strong. And tomorrow is a new day.
