My Mental Health Journey Part 6

⚠️MENTAL HEALTH TRIGGER⚠️

Yes, it’s true. I am 26 and have been laid off twice. Yes, it has been a rough 3 months, but I knew this time could not be like the last year. Last year, I had m my brothers wedding, sisters Nikkah, and my wedding planning to distract me. I recently had to remember that I can’t mope around the apartment and feel sorry for myself. I am not alone, my mood affects those around me - my husband, who is working 12+ hours a day. There are others out there dealing with much worse situations than me. Dealing with the loss of loved ones, loved ones falling ill, being in tighter financial situations than me. There are people out there struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, and depression for the first time because of social distancing. Don’t get me wrong, the other day I had a meltdown and ugly-cried while my husband comforted me because yes, my problems still matter. I am still on medicine. I am still in therapy. I still ask for help. No matter what, I have learned to fight on.
