Internet says it’s World Mental Health Day. So, I wanted to just write a little something to let you know that you are not alone. I have had the misfortune of dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for years, and I know that it is something that will be an ongoing uphill battle in my life. I’m sure that we have all experienced first hand just how powerful the mind can be. We can convince ourselves of absolutely anything and dwell on it until we can’t think straight. I know social media plays a big part in all of it. Seeing people’s “picture perfect lives” when you feel like maybe yours isn’t so extravagant or anything special. We have all been there, and been down on ourselves because of it. Just remember, that perfect picture on social media is not real. Deep down we all know that it is not, but I’m here to give you a quick reminder. ITS. NOT. REAL. It’s only a highlight reel, & people will only show you what they want you to see. What is REAL - is you. Your life. Your value. Your person/soul. You are here, today, and you fucking matter. It doesn’t make a difference what mistakes you’ve made in the past or what you are going through right now. YOU MATTER. Take a deep breath, get out of your head, and know that whatever is thrown your way - you got this. Tough times pass, it does get better, you are not alone ♥️
