Lockdown Madness & New ideas... Daily Motivation

 

Lockdown Madness!! 

Ah. What a year 2020 has been & it's only September... Honestly I never imagined anything like this. This whole pandemic experience has been life changing as well as mentally & emotionally challenging! I've been in lockdown since mid-March & it has been one of toughest experience ever. As more of an outdoor & adventurous person to have my routine changed all of sudden was difficult to handle. Everyday I'd try & find something new to do (didn't really learn anything new). But I did start re-reading the Harry Potter series & finished reading some of my many books. Productive (I think) 

Lockdown has been the toughest on my mental & emotional health. Yes, Physically I've been more or less healthy. But I suffered more with my mental & emotional health. Having breakdowns every other week in the beginning of lockdown, panic & anxiety attacks halfway through. There was more than one time that I wanted to give up on everything. Unfortunately because how I was suffering with my mental & emotional health I was once again unable to submit my final assignments. Thought I could do them for summer assessment period. For the first time even that was impossible. So now I've deferred my studies for another few months. Damn! I was so close to graduate this year...But I learned a valid lesson, I could've given up throughout all those time that I wanted to, but I never did because I got the help I needed, reached out to family & friends. learned that it's okay to not be okay. Having an incredible support system from my therapist, family, friends & professors from university gave me the courage to keep going. During the lockdown having that kind of contact is so so important. Reach out to your loved ones or friends, let them know they're not alone. That is why I never gave up, because I had & continue to have such support & belief from all those around me. I found my courage again. 

I'm still dealing with mental & emotional health issues, but I'm so thankful that I'm no longer in that dark place, I know I have people I can reach out to. Remember so do you!

Daily Motivation

So, I have this new idea. Firstly I will be posting everyday, mostly in evenings & secondly I want to use this platform to inspire & motivate people in hopes of making a difference. How am going to do that? Well, I'm obsessed with quotes & sayings. Each day I'll upload one with my own interpretation of it... Here's an example 

Since I was born I have faced so many unimaginable challenges, most of which I would never wish for anyone to face. From constant hospital visits, operations to new diagnosis every time. Over the years it had a massive massive impact on my mental health as well as emotional & I never realised till halfway through college. That was when I opened my eyes & told myself that I faced so much including bullying & discrimination, yet I am still here today because I am stronger than I think! I am strong, despite all that I go through I see it as an opportunity to be stronger than yesterday! 💜

Remember life can whatever it wants at you! But you are stronger than you think & can face anything! 💜

Let me know what you all think & obviously I'll try to write more than that!...😊😊
