Many people who have mental health issues, are not okay. It is rough for someone to talk about what is going on inside their head. If someone, wants to talk they don't know where to begin. However, they beat around the bush. Also the person may just shut down.
Take it from someone who knows. It's hard to open up and tell how you are feeling. It's normal for me to say, I'm okay. But actually I am not. I try my best to have an upbeat attitude.
I would love to spill my guts about the way I am feeling. When I start, it may not be pretty. I may have an a ugly cry. But people might not care about what I have to say. But you know what if I feel like talking I will. And them I might let it tear me up.
When I comes to the Holidays, it was easier when I was younger. But now that I have other people depending on me it is even worse. Someone with depression and anxiety during the holidays think about, "Am I going to have enough money to get the gifts for everyone?" "Are they going to like the gifts?" "If I get all the gifts, am I going to have enough money for the bills after?" Those questions are just the start & not the only ones.
As I sit her writing this, I'm trying not to tear up just thinking about those questions. But it's true. When I was growing up, it was rough on us. We were blessed with extra help for the holidays. We were grateful for the gifts & food.
So, basically what I am asking for this holiday season. If God places something on your heart to help someone in need, please do so. You have know idea how it feels.
I would like to thank everyone for listening to me vent. I hope & pray everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
