Low Days is written from the perspective of an individual and their specific experience of navigating a hard mental health day.
When I have low days and feel in the dumps, I stay in my apartment. But the best thing you can do for yourself is go outside, go for a walk in nature. Sometimes you need to stay in your apartment and that’s okay too.
I ask myself questions. Why am I feeling like this? Is there a solution?
The negative thinking is always closer than the positive thinking. The doubts are everywhere. This gray area feels like you never can dig yourself out, but can you dig your way out of it.
My low days are a part of me living my life. It’s better not to deny it but to accept it. I know things will get better one day at a time.
I spend lots of days in prayer.
I have reminders of positivity around my house.
Music helps me describe how I’m feeling.
You can journal so your mind is not all over the place.
Sometimes pain comes to the forefront that is too hard to bear. If you need to talk to someone there is lots of help for you if you are in a bind.
I try to set intentions for my day like I am going to make coffee and sit outside for a bit.
I try to be grateful for what I have.
It can be uncomfortable when sitting with yourself trying to feel all the feelings. It is gross to be in that gray area and sometimes feels like fumbling a football.
Chin up. Focus on the good. The low days will eventually will pass. Cheers! Keep being you.
