I’m writing this. many months after my last blog. Life has been busy.. well it was until about 2 weeks ago.
the Corona virus outbreak has affected so many lives. some worse than others. this tragic pandemic has taken money, special memories, and worst of all, lives.
I’ve not wrote in a while because like I said life has been BUSY. school was nonstop. I have felt a lot better here lately. I’ve started enjoying working out… the right way. Eating enough and not overdoing it. I’ve finally felt like myself. a few times here and there I will have a mental breakdown and completely freak out over certain foods or stress… but it’s few and far between.
life was busy. it was hectic. I had to relearn a new routine coming back from Christmas break. i was anxious a lot. nervous. staying up writing essays and studying so late I could barely function the next day.
but the pandemic took over.
slowly but surely this virus has spread from state to state and country to country. will it ever stop? we all lately have been asking ourselves this question.
if you struggle with any sort of anxiety, this “not knowing stage” is literally frying your brain cells. you feel lost. stressed. and out of routine. You might be tired 24/7 from not doing anything all day. You might eat all day and regret it at night. You might stay on the treadmill all day because the fact of being out of routine scares you more than the virus itself does.
all of these feelings are normal. mental disorder or not.
this phase of life is frightening. our minds are on strike. but there is one thing I’ve learned during this time….
we all need to slow down. rest is needed. God is our rock. We must hold onto him during these hard times. Rather you are fighting for your life or just trying to remain sane in this quarantined time, lean on God.
and SLEEP IN. EAT SNACKS. EXERCISE. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Just slow down and may we never forget what this tragic outbreak has taught us-never take anything for granted.
My prayers, thoughts, etc. are with you all in this hard time. I, myself, have had trouble adjusting to the “new normal.” But we will survive this.
be kind. be safe. and be humble in everything you do.
God bless you all.
