#ad This past year has been rough when it comes to my mental health. I suffered from many break downs, self doubt, overthinking, heaviness, anxiety, the list truthfully goes on. And watching myself be in such a state of confusion and depression was hard because I knew what I wanted, I just didn’t have the energy to work towards it. I was allowing the world to enjoy me, rather than the other way around and it became an insecurity after a while. Sitting there knowing your own potential, others knowing your potential, but not knowing what to do with it. I was aware that I had lost myself and I was pissed and ready for a change. I knew this change would come from how *eye* I handled my current state. If I would let it take over or if I would take the reigns. I was a snake shedding its skin. As a person who’s entire life is centered around a transition, around a change. Moments like those mean so much to me, even if they leave me feeling voided lol. I like to think of moments like those as an editing your character moment. I love to play The Sims 4, and I spend most of my time editing my sims rather than playing the actual game itself 😂 so when I have moments like those, I like to remind myself of how important it is to take your time on yourself, the same way I spend time making sure my sims did their lil homework lol I started to acknowledge the things I wanted to change about myself and my life, wrote them down and started to find solutions to those things. One of my biggest difficulties was not taking action in the moment, I was quick to push things off til later. Knowing that, I forced myself to find those solutions as soon as I wrote them down. Doing this reminded me of how easily your thoughts start to flow when you get them out of your mind, and as an over-thinker that very much needed. I write every thought, idea, and solution down in the moment and this has caused such a significant difference in my mindset and productivity level. I’m very happy with where my mental health is right now and can’t wait to see what I’m able to cook up while in the right headspace.
