Hey World!
I am sorry that I
didnt officially blog last week but I didnt have any inspiration and was just
not feeling up to it, which is what this weeks blog is about.
Your mental health
should ALWAYS come first.
If you arent okay and you dont feel like you
can handle the world, you need to stop. You need to relax, and you need to
breathe. If you physically dont feel like you can take anymore, then everything
else comes last. All the homework or friendships or whatever you have to do can
wait. All your worries will still be there when you can handle it.
If you put yourself on the back burner, then
everything is only going to pile up on you and it is only going to get worse.
One in Four people struggle with some kind of
mental illness, and if you think about it, that is almost 8 to every thirty
people, or 8 students per standard classroom. You are not the only one
struggling, and you shouldnt be. You shouldnt have to feel like you are
drowning. If you cant handle the world and you keep going without fixing the
problem, the only thing you are doing is hurting yourself. Being brave and
trying to defeat it is one thing, but if you are only fighting a loosing battle
then it is okay to ask for help.
Your mental health is important, and real.
Nothing is fake about anxiety and depression.
Nothing is fake about suicide.
Sometimes I look
around and think "God, why me? Why have you given me this life if I can
not handle it?" But see, there is the thing. God chose this life for us
and he made us strong enough to handle anything that is thrown at us, but that
doesnt mean alone. He gave us challenges that seem impossible but he also gave
us people to help us through. In no way were we meant to do life alone.
It is okay to say "My depression hit me
in the face with a brick today, and today I literally can not." It is okay
to say "I am sorry I didn't complete my homework, but I was busy
convincing myself that who I am is important and I should stay on this
planet." I am not saying use it as an excuse or use it to not do what you
need to, but I am saying to always put your mental health first. I am saying
that is more important to know that you are loved and feel safe within yourself
then to get the best grades in the class or to have the most organised life.
If you feel safe within yourself, then nothing
that you can ever have to face will be able to hold you down. If you havent slept in 24 hours but you have
an assignment due in 2 hours, sleep. Keeping you, your body, and your mental
health safe is the singlemost important thing in life. To be able to wake up in
the morning and feel that you can take on the world is the most amazing thing
that should never be taken for granted.
What about you?
This is a new thing
that I am (probably) going to start on my blog where I challenge you guys to do
(or think) about something. Yay! Let me know what you guys think about this and
if it should stay or not.
CHALLENGE FOR THIS
