It's funny, because I've realised something important recently. Although I've been having anxious / obsessive thoughts the past few weeks or so, I haven't let them stop me from writing. And it feels so amazing to say I'm actually writing. I've got blog ideas I'm actually sticking with and I'm writing about something I'm incredibly passionate about. • • • It's like a year or even several months ago, when I went through a bad mental health patch, my thoughts would almost completely consume my hobbies and interests and I'd have to wait until I got better in order to feel able to write just 100 words. Yesterday I was obsessing pretty badly and I'd had an emotionally challenging day in many ways, and yet I still got on my blog and wrote about 400 words on a new article I'm writing. The day before I'd done about 300. I'm even gonna try doing some tonight. • • • Although anxiety is there and the thoughts are bothersome, it's never gonna stop me from doing what I love, and it helps knowing I will come out of this patch. Just like I have done before. 😃 #mentalhealth #mentalillness #anxiety #ocd #writing #blogging #creativity #mentalhealthwarrior #hobbies #interests #anxietydisorder #stress #thoughts #fighting #personal #obsessivethoughts #growth #growthroughwhatyougothrough #personalgrowth #stayingstrong #ambitions #blogger
