Just like a lot of people right now, I am struggling ...
Here in the UK, we've just finished a 4-day long weekend for Easter.
For many people, it's a time for fun and games, chocolate, and relaxation (and other traditions too, such as chuch if you're religious - which I am not).
While my husband and I still made time for some of those things, the weekend felt a little different this year. It was heavy with the weight of everything we are going through as individuals (and a couple) as well as current events across both our country and the world right now.
I won't be using this space to list of grievances. Instead, I simply want to say this: if you're feeling the weight of things too, you're not alone.
Lately, it feels like that weight seeps into every corner of life. Even though I'm currently in therapy, some things feel so big they stretch beyond sessions and the healthy coping mechanisms I'm trying to build. Healing from past trauma is difficult and takes time but trying to process things that are happening right now hits different.
Over the past few weeks, I've noticed one of my habits is to catastrophise when things feel too big and heacy to process - when that feeling of 'this will never end' creeps in.
So, I'm trying to gently reroute my thoughts when that happens and remind myself of soemthing simple: it isn't permanent.
Bad things don't last forever, and I have survived everything that has happened to me so far.
But, for right now, I feel a little hopeless ...
... and that's okay.
It won't last forever.
❤️❤️❤️
