My Mental Health Doesn’t Make Me Different
Some days I’m full of energy and ready to take on whatever challenges the day is going to throw my way... Other days I’m so tired that I lack the energy and motivation to even get out of bed… And then there are days where I just go with the flow and continue a daily routine as much as I possibly can… Sometimes I want to curl up in a ball in a dark room and just cry…and cry…and cry… Sometimes I want to scream and shout and hit something… Sometimes I can’t stop smiling and having a laugh… Sometimes I just don’t care… Sometimes I question everything…even question myself and the reasons I’m still here… Sometimes I just want the day to be over… Sometimes I just want to be left alone… Sometimes I just need the hugs and the company… Sometimes I need to do something random and out of character… Sometimes I really need to stick to a routine… Sometimes I want to comfort and care for others… Sometimes I want to inflict damage on myself… Sometimes I want to hold on to all the loving memories… Sometimes I want everything and everyone to be gone… My mental health can be all over the joint…or it knows it’s place… Everyone has mental health issues…whether that is good…bad…right…or wrong… My issues don’t make me different…they make me stronger…they help shape me to be the person I am…I shouldn’t have to adapt to the world…the world should adapt and accept me… So…please…just please stop trying to “fix” me…
