The importance of your mental health
I CRIED LIKE I COULDN’T BREATHE
These are the puffy eyes that cried last night. This post isn’t going to be about skin today, sorry guys. I’m going to shed light on the importance of your mental health.
For the two past weeks I told myself, “Keep it together liz, you can do it. You can make time for everything, don’t make excuses, make time”
I found myself bottling all my feelings up, and forced myself to believe that I was okay so I tried to juggle everything. I tried to meet people’s expectations, tried to beat myself in so many aspects. I needed to be better, needed to do better.
Then I had two massive arguments with two really important people and I think I just snapped towards the very end.
I cried like I couldn’t breathe. I honestly never saw myself coming to this point. But with today’s clear mind, I realised I probably wouldn’t have snapped if I didn’t lie to myself about not being OK with everything.
I needed to acknowledge my emotions and let it out. It’s not healthy. I always tell myself to listen to what my mind and body are trying to tell me, but sometimes I get blinded along the way when everything gets so busy.
We’re in this rat race to get everything done. I know I’m speaking in very general terms but I don’t want to share specific details about my life because it’s really not about me, but about you guys.
If you ever feel alone, trapped or stressed, please speak to someone about it.. Don’t wait until the very last straw to break down like I did yesterday.
Chat about it, scream or cry it out if you have to. Just never bottle it up. I hope you guys are having a wonderful day
