Not everyone talks about the struggles they are going through. Many people are ashamed of their struggles. We think of them as weakness. We are human and to struggle is human whether it's a mental, physical, or psychological struggle.
The PTSD I deal with comes from my days doing drugs and staying up all night. I tend to panic when I'm up late anymore. I have accepted it I honor it. It's all I can do because it is what it is. Sometimes I feel that people think I'm boring but they don't know what I've been through and taking care of my mental health is more important than being liked.
I take care of myself by not eating too much sugar or alcohol, especially before bed because it gives me anxiety. I don't go to events that keep me up late and sometimes that makes me feel bad but my mental health is more important than pleasing others.
When we take care of ourselves first and do what serves our highest good, the world around us is better. The people who really love us will understand and the others, well, does it really matter at the end of the day if they judge us or think we are boring? Not really. We can be proud that we love ourselves enough to know our limits and honor our well being. That's what matters.
