Mental health

Recently I have been feeling really anxious and depressed. To some people, I may not have anything to be anxious or depressed about but this is a mental thing and this can't be helped. When you have a dark cloud over your head and your thoughts it is very difficult to then think about it differently and realise how you lucky you are or whatever. To me, it shows the lack of understanding of how you are feeling. Maybe that works for some people but it doesn't work for me. If someone says to me, but think about all these other people who are worse off than you ....that doesn't help someone who is depressed and suffering from depression. They probably feel worse about the way they are feeling and that is the worst thing to do.

I may not have anything to be anxious or depressed about to outsiders but that is why it is mental and it is internal thoughts. I have found with my situation I have told a couple of people how I have been feeling. I have also arranged to have a counselling session. So hopefully I will see things improve.

My friend, who is spiritual and sensitive like me has also told me there are other forces at play in the universe which hasn't helped with the way I have been feeling this week. She sent me an article and it made so much sense. I understand this isn't for everyone but when I read it ir really rang true.

As I said earlier, I have told a couple of people about how I have been feeling and they have been really understanding and I have really appreciated it. When I initially made some comments, it didn't go as understood as I hope but I do feel lucky to have people to talk to.

I have my first counselling session this week and I am nervous and anxious about this. Fingers crossed it goes well.
