I feel bad that I haven’t posted in awhile. I have been so overwhelmed lately. Just today I got so overwhelmed by a phone call that I cried several times throughout the duration of the call. I’ve been lacking the motivation to do anything lately. When I do summon enough energy to do anything at all- I very easily get overwhelmed and I’m wiped for the rest of the day-sometimes the rest of the week. I used to be so tough that nothing seemed to get to me and now every little thing does.
I know I’m not the only one who experiences it but it’s very difficult to explain to others who don’t understand. Unless you experience it yourself- it’s hard to register being overwhelmed by even the little things. If you get overwhelmed sometimes, I just want you to know, what you are going through and feeling is completely okay and I’m here for you. It’s hard sometimes to feel like all your emotions are justified, but everything we experience is so very real and I’m proud of you for making it through the day.
We often are our own worst critics and we do not celebrate the little wins. I made a difficult phone call today and I just focused on the negative aspect because I got overwhelmed and cried on and off during and for about an hour after. I didn’t applaud myself for making this phone call which I knew wasn’t going to be easy and one that I’ve been putting off for weeks. It’s a small win but it’s still a win. Small wins add up to something bigger. What are some small wins this week you haven’t given yourself credit for? We all have to start somewhere and start being kinder to ourselves. You are here and you are surviving and I am so thankful for that. ❤️
If you ever need someone to talk to- please don’t hesitate to message me! My listening ears are always on and I have tons of resources I will gladly pass on to those who need them!
