How often do you find yourself trapped inside your own head?

It can be a very dangerous place to find yourself at times. I am someone who struggles with this almost on a daily basis. I am finding ways to try to channel that energy and those thoughts in a different manner. Keeping a blog/Journal. Music. Long Car rides with the music blaring. Taking a walk with my dog... the possibilities are endless, really.

Some times, it gets to be too much. When that happens, and we feel we can't handle things by ourselves, or that there is nothing left to fight for, remember, YOU are priceless. There is only ONE of you. You are loved. You are cared for. You are needed. YOU HAVE VALUE!!!!!!!

Reach out. Get the help you need. It's there. I promise.

I can only speak of my own experiences, for me,  I can tell you that the mind will lie to you. It will make you believe no one cares. That you are all alone.

It's not true!

I am a great actor in the "greatest performance" that we call life. I have mastered showing people just what I want them to see over the years. I am slowly backing off of that. I am becoming more vulnerable and opening up more. I am finding more people truly care than I ever realized by this.

So, I guess what I am getting at today, is that you don't need to suffer in silence! Open up and let others help! It takes a lot of courage to admit you are not okay.

And, it's DEFINITELY okay not to be okay. What is not okay is feeling like you have to do it all on your own.

Reach out! We are here to help!
