I think I'm losing it, frens.... With all the shit happening personally my mental health is on a knife edge tbh. I'm getting irrational, angry, emotional over stupid shit, and although my heart seems strong, the rest of me is hurting daily.
I'm living in what was once a nice house and is now looking like a bombsite. It's bringing by a lot of bad memories from the fire I had 9 years ago, which also forces me to remember my late wife. My ptsd is back. Worst of all is there is little I can do about most of this right now, as I'm playing hurry up and wait with the insurance companies and contractors, and my brain and body feel paralysed to act. Feel like I'm failing my family cuz I'm not functioning like I should...
So yeah... Could use some of God's help because I can't do this without him...
Fren, take a break. Cut yourself from all the channels you watch daily. Focus on something you have been meaning to do for a whole - gardening, fitness, music - whatever it is that will help you distract.
Tell yourself that you are in the hands of God and all will be well even if we are helpless to change anything.
I second that: cook yourself something delicious you have been craving for a while, live with that beautiful and comforting smell in your home. Listen to your body, let the bad feeling fade away. Love yourself.❤️🙏🏻
Great advice. Tomorrow is Paddy’s Day.
Dress up in green and go see the parade, you’ll bump into a friend or two. Go for a pint and have a chat, share your thoughts and grab some company. Don’t go overboard, get home early and enjoy the spring air and bird song.
Look and listen to all the beautiful things God has given us. Literally sit in the grass. Realise he has a plan for you too.
Cook some nice bacon, cabbage and mashed potatoes. Comfort food comforts the mind.
