Down Days

Hey lovely’s,
Today i have decided to write a post about when things get tough.
Life unfortunately isn’t the equation of a straight line like we all imagine it as at age five. It is very much not the equation of a straight line it’s actually the complete opposite, more like a roller coaster. The ups and downs are what shapes you as a person, they make you stronger for the future.

You may think from reading my blog that i am always happy and i always wear makeup. But actually things couldn’t be the exact opposite. At the moment i am in one of those down periods of my life. At the moment i feel like one bad thing comes after another. This is tough whatever age you are but i am 14 and it’s been incredibly hard to deal with especially on top of school work. There are mornings i don’t even see the point in getting out of bed but i have to force myself. There are days that i can’t see that anything is going to get better and days when my anxiety is at an all-time high (post about how to deal with panic attacks). There are days i don’t wear makeup because it’s been such a challenge to even get myself out of bed.

On those days that it’s been a real struggle to get myself out of bed i except that i am not feeling my best and that i may need help at some point that day to manage how i am feeling. I also have to except it is ok to ask for help. Sometimes in life you have to be selfish (this is not in my nature at all). Your mental and physical health comes before anyone else. If you’re not in good health how are you ment to help anyone else? On the days that you know you are struggling make sure you take time for yourself. It could be just an hour or 2 and just do something you enjoy and it will hopefully help you feel that little bit stronger and help you through the day.

We all need to accept sometimes that not every day is going to be amazing and that there will be days that we don’t even want to get out of bed but facing the day is better than dwelling on it and having to face it later on when it’s even more of a problem. It’s also important to know that there will always be someone who is happy to listen to you be that a parent, sibling, relative, friend, teacher or someone you work with. Sometimes you don’t relies but people can tell if you’re not ok and in your darkest moments someone could reach out to you and say are you ok or i have noticed you haven’t been yourself recently. These people could talk to you out of the blue moon when you least expected it. Remember it’s also ok to reach out for help. If you reach out for help it shows you are strong and you want help and the person you talk to will admire you for doing so.
