Mental Health during lockdown

I never thought I would be able to say my mental health is in a good place, especially during a pandemic and a lockdown. Of course I have some days where I'm feeling a little down, but this is more due to boredom. I am fine, I sleep well, I can enjoy my day, every day for the most part (sometimes it can be a drag). I am so incredibly proud of my mental state and how I feel about myself at the moment. This post isn't to boast, I know there are people out there who have been through a horrid time during this pandemic and the lockdown, it's just gratitude for myself. 

Having the cats, still having a job, having friends and family whom I can go through this hard time with does help massively, but being in a healthy mindset and having a good frame of mind, is most definitely the icing on top of the cake. I have a clear mind and clear (almost) emotions, I am so very, very, very grateful and again proud of myself. This means I win, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) loses. 

I hope with all the love in my heart that you are all healthy and happy. Please take care of yourself, and your mind.

How people see you

Morning, I’ll get right to it.  So, I was in the middle of a conversation with a work colleague today and another colleague joined in and I reacted to something they said. For some odd reason this made me think about how people see me. I can’t see how I look to others, my body language, my facial expressions, I’m blind to how I look to other people. I’m not sure how I feel about this, I mean I would really like to know how I look to other people.  Have you ever thought this too or is this just how my mind works? I bet you’re thinking about it now though right?  BCL says

Being in love

On my way to work this morning I noticed a young school couple. The looks on their faces, looking at one another you can see how desperately they needed one another. Love makes you feel as if you cannot live without another person, wild as it is, it is true. Isn't it mad scary how someone you didn't even know existed can make you feel that they are your everything? It's also scary that love starts so young as well. People love, love and I also love, love. I think it is so wonderful to see love all around you. It makes me happy to know that two people can make each other feel like they can get through anything together. You believe in one another so much, that life doesn't seem so bad. Again, love is so powerful and so scary because on the flip side, if people break up, one or maybe both of those people will feel like their world is shattered. They feel this way even though they were fine before they met that other person and they will be fine (in time) without them agai...

Empathy

Being an empath is the worse, sure it can feel good if the feelings are positive but more often than not, they are negative. I feel everything, so much so, that if someone cries on tv or in a film I will also cry. This is hard work. I want to be there for people I love and I always will be but it will be a rollercoaster of emotions for me as well. This is exactly why I limit what negativity I allow into my life, such as things I cannot control that will only make me feel sad or angry, e.g. world issues. It’s hard to not feel it all, it’s not that I don’t care, I would care too much.  Can anyone else relate?  I hope anyone who is reading this post is healthy and happy and if not, don’t worry you will be.  BCL says
