What if I told you the past year was very challenging for me in terms of Mental Wellness? Would you believe me? I would not even believe myself in the recent years, but I have to be honest in sharing with you my dear readers that it was indeed challenging for me. Just like many of you, the effects of lockdown also contributed to my mental wellbeing. There were many stressors and I felt tired…emotionally. Practicing Self-Love was very difficult for me.
It was feelings and thoughts that I kept to myself mostly. I felt guilty for feeling less than positive. I was bothered that I couldn't just snap out of it sometimes. There was an internal battle where I felt conflicted, always questioning myself and my worth. It just felt like everything that could go wrong at times, did. When I thought I was just over once obstacle, life presented itself with yet another challenge! I didn't know how much of strength I had left within to overcome each obstacle. I got to a stage where I closed off. I hid it so well. I blocked it out. I withdrew myself from people and from social events. I'm certain that if I sought professional help, I would have been diagnosed with some level of depression or anxiety.
