If you're struggling with mental health right now, you deserve to give yourself more credit. When everything feels so heavy, it's easy to shame yourself for the ways you've slowed down, focus on the things you left unaccomplished, and beat yourself up for not having the energy to function as you want to. Amid all of this, you're still here. You're showing up however you can. You're choosing to not give up during such a challenging time, even when doing so seems like the easier option. You are so strong and brave. It might not be today or tomorrow, but I hope your pain is lifted and that you see brighter days soon.
