How many of us have said we are “fine” when really we feel like shit?! I bet we are all guilty of it and if you aren’t either you are lying or I’m jealous of your fabulous life!!
I’m going to just be blunt and say feeling shit instead of depressed etc just to cover everything…..shit means shit simple. It pretty much sums up my life really. It’s been shit and I feel shit…..but……there have been a lot of good things too hence the smiling through the tears title!
I am quite a resilient woman, I can be positive at times, I am fairly independent, despite my own shit will always help others and will always get up when I get knocked down. I somehow seem to have this strength and oomph that no matter what or who knocks me down, I get back up fighting.
Some days I can take the world on and other days I don’t want to even lift my head off the pillow. I cry and cry and my body aches with mental pain and anguish. I just feel shit and I know that either the day is going to be a write off or that I’ve got to force myself to get up and do things to make myself feel ok even if it only does it by 10%! It’s better than nothing!!
Mental illness can take over your body as well as your mind and affects various aspects of your life but it can be managed and there are various things out there to try to help 🙂
Whenever you feel “shit” – know that you’re not alone, there are millions of sufferers in the world who have felt and who feel shit too and as a community we can send mutual support around the world and know we have each other in our thoughts.
“Smile and the whole world smiles with you.”
Never let go of your dreams, set goals, do things you love, do what makes you happy, choose positivity over negativity, eliminate toxic people and toxic things from your life, eat healthily but spoil yourself too – a little bit of what you fancy does you good 😉 be kind to yourself, love yourself, be a good friend, take good care of yourself and remember the most important person in the world is YOU!!
