“You’re not suffering alone”
As the saying goes. We are never suffering truly alone. You know how many people can relate to what you’re feeling? It may not be the same situation, people, or circumstances but in one way or another someone has felt what you are feeling. Truly. We think that in our deepest despair that no one understand and we begin cutting our selves from our friends, family, and the rest of the world.
When the pain becomes to much we close down even further, depression, anxiety, exhaustion, over or underrating, and all self care treatments go right out the window. Everything becomes a choir, you barely want to leave the house, or do any of the things that used to bring you joy. Your pillows become stained with tears, and black marks from the mascara you didn’t have the energy to wash off.
When you finally hit the point of suffering that you honestly could cry at any point of the day when you’re left to your own thoughts. Or when even your own unconscious wakes you up from a dead sleep and you can’t get back asleep no matter how much you focus on your breath or look at your phone. Till finally you fall back asleep, 2 hours later mind you.
Yet deep down tucked away in all the pain suffering and devastating thoughts that cloud your mind there is a sliver of light that begins to show. Because at one point the dark can no longer get any darker. Even in the darkest of nights the sun begins a new day. The darkness begins to crack. When you finally listen to that little voice that tells you, “I need help.” You make sure to listen.
Because when you’re in that despair that’s when you need to tell your ego enough is enough. Letting yourself know that you don’t have to do it all on your own. That it’s ok to ask for help, and finally allow yourself to receive. You will be amazed when you make that choice all your loved ones that were reaching out and all the signs you were receiving were all there. You just had to succumb to the facing of truths. That sometimes we all need a little help from others.
When we open up to others that we are suffering that’s when their stories of there own suffering come through and we begin to know we aren’t alone. The knowledge of what worked for them, what they felt, and how they got through elevates maybe a tiny bit. And bit by bit, you know that it’s ok to ask for help. To take time off work, to cry your eyes out, to go and seek a counselor, reiki practitioner, acupuncturist, naturopath, personal trainer, psychic, gatherings, and just any other profession that your being guided to start helping your healing journey.
I’m here to lovingly remind you all that if you’re going through something that’s causing you great sadness, pain, or overburdening don’t hesitate to stop and reach out for help. Its either a phone call, text, email, or conversation away from beginning, or even continuing your healing journey. As my own journey is reminding me to do the same, to pause and take time to heal I softly whisper you can to. Please take time out and listen to what you’re body, mind, and soul truly needs at this time. You don’t have to keep pushing forward alone. The universe is here for you.
All the Love n’ Light,
