Her Honest Life

Woman: There’s still a long way to go to achieve equality. Dude: Not true! A woman was mean to me once. Woman: That’s not what — Dude: SO MEAN

Sometimes, when people get depressed or anxious they have trouble eating. And then when they don’t get enough nutrients their depression or anxiety gets worse.

If you don’t like them. If they make you sad, anxious, lonely - that is completely normal.

I know the world wants you to think that there is something wrong with you for not liking the holidays, or not feeling the joy they think you should, but they are wrong.

Today, if you can, I’d like you to say “no” to something you don’t want to do. You can say it in whatever way you need. You can make any excuses you want. But make a conscious choice to not do this thing.

Having a rough time? I really hope you’re not beating yourself up over things you “should” be doing right now. 

Remember, giving your self time to just rest and “be” when things are rough in your brain is important. Just as important as anything on your to-do list.

Look at the absolute minimum things you have to do to survive right now, do those things, pat yourself on the back, and then rest. Everything else will wait.
