Riding the waves of emotions

When we have pain and suffering, it eventually will be followed by some relief, some joy and peace. So I feel like I have to go with the flow, and accept the scary and sad emotions. Hanging in there and best to you riding waves, beautiful people!

ACCEPTANCE is key

I always seem to forget that relief will come! I get caught up in the darkness. It does ebb and flow!

Yup we will stop hating and learn compassion for ourselves when we decide to be on our own team.

I’ve struggled with accepting myself, and things in my life that are rough too. What do you think the best way to heal is?

Thanks!

There’s still too much stigma surrounding depression and mental illness. Just because a person suffers this way doesn’t mean they’re violent or that they’re going to shoot guns off at people. A lot of people who have mental illnesses have actually been victims in some way themselves. And not all of them are drug addicts or alcoholics either.

You too, Snowdayze. I’m depressed. I’m hoping we both have good dreams. ❤️

Lean into it, know and trust that you will be ok and let it flow through you and pass. It's just part of being human and alive.
