are you doing ok

I’m so thankful this exists. I think that many people with mental health issues (myself included) downplay what they’re going through.

person: hey you ok?

“It’s okay if you can’t access your light. If you can’t find it in you to be hopeful or brave. You don’t have be positive when you’re hurting. You just have to stay curious. Curious about what tomorrow might bring. Curious about who it might bring to you. About what you might learn and which opportunities might arise and how things in the universe might align so that there’s a shift. Maybe things will continue to feel painful and heavy forever. But maybe they wont. Maybe you’ll never be able to climb out of the hole and move towards what’s important to you. But maybe you will. Maybe something different is coming. Something that will change everything. Something that will change you. It might not happen in the way you wanted or imagined. And it might not happen in the time frame you were hoping. But you’ll never know unless you keep showing up. Unless you keep trying. So stay curious. Even when you feel incapacitated by the hurt and the heaviness. Even when you feel convinced that nothing will change. You don’t know what tomorrow will bring. You don’t know what your life will look like in a month or a year or three years. The only way to find out is to stay. So please stay. Please keep being curious. Maybe the best days of your life haven’t happened yet. Maybe your most profound moments are coming.”

How I feel after I’ve gotten out from the mental hospital and arriving home but not knowing what to do next:
