Better & not so better days

Some days are better than others. And that’s ok.

Today has felt like not such a good day. It was a step in the right direction to recognise it, and to act on it as soon as I spotted things weren’t right. Those sentences feel so ambiguous they could relate to a physical illness, but they very much relate to my mental health.

It’s so important to be aware of what ‘not quite right’ feels like mentally and emotionally. I have some idea of my triggers (although some triggers appear out of left field and I have no idea when they’re coming!), but today I discovered some new ones.

I wrote myself some notes to try and clear my brain fog (still feeling a little too raw to share here right now), listened to an anxiety and migraine playlist, and gave myself permission to go slower. I knew it was, and is, in my head and not real, but the thoughts and feelings are so real in the moment. No matter what anyone says, they feel real and can’t be un-thought in the moment.

No particular reason for today’s post, or little snippets of wisdom, just a place to blurt it out!
