Life throws us lots of curveballs – some you kind of expect and others come from the most random places. COVID-19 or Corona virus – how many of us actually thought in our lifetime we would experience this what is happening to us from every point all over the world? We are all essentially cut off from each other and locked away locally until we can see a light at the end of this tunnel. Strange as it is for most, some of us experience this feeling on a regular occurrence. So for those that are new here, hello and welcome to the world of anxiety and depression and to worse extents bipolar. When we spiral out of control we want to lock ourselves away, just like the world is currently and isolate until that light starts shining again.
So now imagine dealing with both things at once. Yep I know a few people that are really struggling through this ordeal! Lucky for me I’m in a pretty ok place at the moment, but sometimes it knocks me for a six and I just need to rest (luckily I can without having to explain myself right now). Some brains just won’t allow people to even leave their houses at all. I feel for anyone struggling at this time and want you to remember you’re not alone and never will be. There’s always someone to talk too and unlike the war times we have technology to support us through – thankfully 🙏
Take today for example and please don’t judge me for this. We needed groceries and Inglewood just hasn’t had what I’ve been needing, so I needed to go to New Plymouth to get stuff, but didn’t want to go on my own, so Leonie was with me. People staring at us like get your 2 metres apart! At the end of the day I honestly didn’t care, I was still within my bubble and we are both well. I might have had a chat across the road to my sister on the way home too. We were safely distanced and I needed to visually see and make sure all is well for my own piece of mind. I definitely know there are a few of you that will understand! Honestly though I would never put anyone in danger, especially my parents – I love too much with all my heart.
Anyway just remember you aren’t alone and we all have someone we can talk too in the hard times! Listen to those that need support and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need, particularly if you’ve never needed help before. My inbox is always open and you should never feel alone. In the wise word of our Prime Minister – He waka eke noa – We are all in this together! Take care, stay safe and be kind everyone (you never know what someone is dealing with inside and out) – much love xxx❤️🥰🙏✨
