Some days, it’s like a dark cloud has just set up camp over my head. You know? Like it’s hanging out there, blocking out the sun. Not budging or going anywhere. The thing is, I know I’m not alone in feeling like this. A lot of us here are dealing with these murky moments, eh? Just last year alone, I can’t even count how many people reached out on similar threads and posts about struggling with their emotional well-being.
It got me thinking, how do you folks build up your emotional support system? Are there specific strategies you use, certain friends or family you lean on? Do you have some kind of mental health first aid kit you pull out in those moments? I’ve tried a few things, but making it through those shadowy days can still be a real challenge, you know?
These past two years have been hard on everyone with the pandemic slamming us from all sides. And even as we’re dealing with a different variant now, it’s not any easier, right? I mean, can you really prepare for something like this?
But I’m trying to be positive. I’ve started attending online therapy sessions; gotta say, they’re helping a fair bit. I’m thinking of adding on to that. So, maybe you guys have some advice or experiences to share? How do you find your ‘sun’ on those cloudy days?
Please share your thoughts… I’m sure many of 🤔
