DO NOT IGNORE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
I apologize for the long absence.
For many, many years I pushed things down and thought I had them handled and a series of progressively negative events over a couple of years broke me. My normal break down consists of me imploding. No harm, no foul. I didnât even notice when this one started and instead of just hurting myself, I hurt people around me. I will not forgive myself for that.
I have always been a proponent of mental health, but I didnât recognize my spiral and I compromised the fabric of my moral being and did some things I donât know that I will ever come to terms with. The events forced me to open my eyes to how far I had allowed myself to unravel and while I did Iâm mediately seek help, it was likely too late for me to salvage some relationships. I have worked extensively with a therapist and a psychiatrist and have a pretty solid diagnosis and hefty medication to start putting myself back together, but I canât help wonder how things would have been if I had just prioritized myself sooner.
I have a lot of work left to do, but I am hopeful that I will be working forward from now on and not letting the pains of the past twist and destroy the person I know I really am. I am not sure if I have it in me to ever write again, but maybe if I keep working hard enough on myself, I can find some of my creativity.
Donât rationalize and donât wait, just get help if you need it. I never thought I would ever hurt anyone, donât be me.
