Food For Thought
Hi, all welcome back to my blog I hope everyone has had a great weekend, This post is what the title says, its food for thought, i feel for anyone whether you suffer a mental health illness or not so many things can affect you mentally, reactions, a look, words, tone of voice. Most times is something out of nothing that we naturally over analyze and I think it’s important to know how to handle these random things so they don’t get in on you for no reason. Its a completely normal thing we all do but its what we do in the aftermath that matters.
Being strong when you feel attacked is pretty difficult. When there’s no rhyme or reason, its something that happens and you can’t prepare for it. I know it happens to most people at some point. It’s a very mentally draining and overwhelming. It tests a person’s self-worth.
It’s not something your really conscious about. It’s reflected by how you let people treat you. But its a fine line, if you sit back and don’t react are you excepting it’s ok. If you lash out does that make you any better? two wrongs don’t make a right – letting your emotion take over undoes all the years of hard work my parents put into raising me to be this person that they’re proud of. That’s where my mind goes at that moment!!, no matter how angry or hurt I get I have my rule to let information digest and not reacting on high emotions, use the time to compose yourself and make a decision that is true to yourself. That’s the advice id give people. Don’t let things get in on you. Don’t react when your emotions are high cause your not yourself and you can’t take it back once it out.
I was raised in a close family, I have a person with an intellectual disability in my family, I also spend a lot of my life in the profession of caring for people with intellectual disabilities I know it’s so FAR from the TOPIC but the point is it made me see people in a different light and it makes me think deeper about things and how I react and interact with people. You appreciate the little thing one takes for granted like, being about to walk, talk, make decisions and live a normal life. It made me be more open to peoples differences.
I Know this is a pretty random post but I feel like writing is always the best way to process things and i want to encourage people to do it, I also want to help people and in order to do that you have to be open, honest and vulnerable. It’s really important to get out of my comfort zone in order to put pen to paper, I would recommend it to anyone, its how we heal and get stronger.
