_ If you feel like you're drowning in thought, remember that you're allowed to get out of the water. The only thing more exhausting than having a mental illness is pretending like you don't. Talk about your pain instead of holding it in. Sometimes the worst place you can be at is in your own head. Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage does. Don't let temporary situations cause permanent pain. Depression is a silent emotion. It sneaks up on you when you least expect it, so you must always be ready. Just breathe, you've made it through your hardest days and you'll make it through this one. Pretending is draining , especially when you do it for 8 to 10 hours a day. Your worries are lying to you. You are loved, you are accepted and you are wanted. Even the darkest nights will end and the sun will rise again. _ Click on the link below for yesterday's Fresh dew 👇👇👇 https://thekingsnation20.blogspot.com/2022/07/fresh-dew_18.h...
