Do you ever have moments where you feel you're sinking into ..
Added 2020-09-08 06:25:11 +0000 UTCDo you ever have moments where you feel you're sinking into a bad place? I used to write about mental health a lot, when I was still writing for the old magazine. A lot of the articles I wrote were to answer my own curiosity and questions I had about myself, and it gave me a lot of comfort to know others related to it and found it helpful. I realised since i left the magazine I lost that source of self reflection and in some ways self care. Some moments, it feels like the world is about to swallow me whole, and I'm looking into the mouth of a giant whale. I wonder if I can swim away, but I'm struggling with holding my breath under the water, the current pushing me towards the black hole of a whale's mouth. Does that analogy make sense? I think if I just swim a bit harder then I can break the water surface and breath, and feel the sun, and it'll be ok, even though I'll still be treading water. But at least I won't be eaten or drowning. I've been feeling like 2020 has been dunking me under over and over again and it's a constant battle to swim back up. I think a lot of people have been feeling this way. Good luck to all of us, we can make it.
