My Life Right Now: Navigating Life's Challenges with Resilience and Self-Discovery

Image
  These past few months my life has changed but not drastically. The most important change that has happened in my life is my mental health. I don't know if it's because I have been more active or spiritual and that has made me have less symptoms of depression but I have barely cried for the past 3 months. I usually cry every single week over the littlest things I would overthink and get upset but that has changed. Well kind of.  Today just feels like I need to take a breath and just let everything out. Not crying makes me feel like I'm keeping something in and now it's banging at the door to come out.

Questionable or Scary Thoughts

Do you ever have questionable or scary thoughts? Thoughts that make you wonder if you are even the same person you were before you had that thought. Well, I'm here to tell you, I have the same!  Sometimes I could just be doing any random thing or looking at someone and a questionable thought comes to my mind. For example, If I'm using a knife to cut some fruit I sometimes think, "Imagine I just stabbed myself right now." And after thinking that thought I wonder why it even popped up because I'm not a violent person. I could also be driving and think in my mind "Imagine I just swerve off the road and hit this person" or in class I think "Imagine I strip naked in front of everyone right now."  If you have any of these thoughts just know that you are not alone. And what I learned from my therapist is that they are NOT your thoughts. My therapist explained it to me like this...There is something called your filter thoughts and your actual thoughts....
