Hard day

[winternight]

Writing after some days, been keeping up all this while, and there came another day when I failed to keep up, the worsening part being noone supportive around, someone who understands (want to understand). Someone who would want to cheer you up when suddenly you the low wave hits you or anxiety kicks in out of nowhere, as you're very much capable of feeling happy or special otherwise.

You know winternight, Anxiety can be a very lonely disorder. It's very difficult for

most to understand what we go through each day. I even feel that doctors don't truly

understand our fear and our pain. Saying to us "it's just anxiety" doesn't cut it.

Unfortunately, we have to learn to be our own advocates in mental health.

Finding out what our body needs and searching for that tool that will help sustain us.

Because our symptoms come in waves and never really shows, how do we get others

to be sympathetic to our cause. We can't, it just becomes more frustrating in trying

to get them to understand. Sometimes I feel it's a hopeless cause.

I have found that loving myself, caring for myself is necessary in keeping my calm

and inner peace. The one thing we do have is each other on the platform.

No need to explain what it's like, we understand and we care. Reach out to us

whenever you are in emotional pain. We are always here 24/7. xx

It has been a struggle for me also because I work in healthcare and too many hours. I don’t get to see my family often. But I’m trying my best and so far it’s working.
