Do you ever?

Do you ever feel like you’ve come to the end of yourself and you just want to give up but you know you can’t?  I guess I have been there FAR too many times.  And it’s not an easy place to be in.  Working with emotions and thoughts like that can become complex quickly.

I don’t know about you but I find it difficult when I’m poorly to WANT to keep going.  I know it’s probably because I am tired and sick and need a rest.  My body is screaming at me to stop and enforces it on me so it can recover.  And the fact I needed a cpap machine for probably a VERY long time made me exhausted because my body just WASN’T allowing me much sleep.  So yes, I did sleep in fits and starts but I thought it was normal.

When I’m in a low place, everything seems wrong, like it’s a massive effort to do anything positive.  But seeing the “half-empty glass” instead of the “half-full one” is unfortunately too easy a thought pattern to fall into.  

However, I want you to know that you CAN get through it.  You CAN get past whatever the situation is that is causing you to think this way and make it to the other side.  It’s not easy and sometimes means you have to hold on to hope and have faith things will turn out the way they are meant to in the end.

TREASURE

Trying to find that place of ease and comfort isn’t always easy, but it IS possible to do.  Are there any ways you have found really helpful yourself?  Not everyone is the same so it’s good to hear different ways of supporting your mental health.
