I have recently learned that my particular strain of DnA (Depression and Anxiety) has moments of selfishness. For someone who considers themselves a high functioning green individual I often find it very easy and convenient to put DnA in the nearest drawer to deal with at a later date. No problem right.” But what happens when life, work or family accidentally opens the drawer? Your then trying to multitask; putting DnA back in the drawer and trekking on with the day to day. Cause you don’t have time for DnA or any of their mental health relatives getting in your way or taking up all your time there’s more important things to be done. But then after chasing them around a bit you may stop and realize “hey maybe they are worth my time.” There apart of you wether you like or not. Dealing with it means dealing with yourself and your own needs. That’s when you realize being a little selfish isn’t so bad.
Our actions may not always show it but sometimes our mental health can have a funny way of showing us that you need to stop and take care of number 1. When your feeling like you’re on the verge of spiraling. Thats the sign to put yourself and your health at the top of that to do list. Stop, take a moment, self reflect, or step away, be the loneliest number. Your number one and being number one is to be a winner.

This is so relatable. I find that for me I’ve tried putting my mental health struggles in the drawer out of shame. All of the judgments get old too. It’s like I do t want this person to see it because they go say I’m feeling sorry for myself. The. I don’t want that person to see because they go say I don’t have faith in God. Idk I feel like what people lack most in this world is grace for themselves and empathy for others.
