I don't post often about mental health and well-being, likely because I feel I've been able to heal myself and mostly move beyond the state of mind that destroyed me for years until recently, but as always, from time to time, things will pop up in your mind that drag you backwards for a while. For me, even being in a much better place now than I used to be, every December, the month always gets steadily worse and worse for me mentally and climaxes at the end, spilling over into the first week of January.

Obviously it's not December now, my worst month. But there are times, especially during financial instability, life changes, and huge new adventures when my mind feels heavier than usual. The past few weeks have been a combination of all three, but I've held on well, even though I've had freak moments and anxiety and times I felt I wanted to cry. To quote John Mulaney way out of context, "I think eventually everything's gonna be okay, but I have no idea what's gonna happen next."
¬
So this picture isn't for me today. It's for you, for anyone who's having trouble holding on. Anyone who is doubting themselves. Anyone whose day is going in the worst direction. Anyone who can't find the money for rent or bills this month. Anyone who doesn't know where to turn right now. Anyone who needs a sign, something to hold onto, to repeat over and over in their head to convince themselves they are, when their mind says they're not. Whatever challenges you're facing, you're never alone. Please reach out.
