Depression is kicking my ass..🙃
The past week has been very eventful. Between roommates, work, and kids I’m exhausted and kinda empty inside.
It’s during those brief periods of quiet that it sinks in and I’m questioning a lot of things in life. How to make the people around me happier, cleaning my house, getting enough sleep and finishing schoolwork. It’s alot, and I feel it weighing me down sometimes.
I haven’t been to my altar in days, no journaling or even lighting a candle.
I know I’m not alone in these feelings, but when you feel like this all you feel is alone.
But nevertheless, Tomorrow marks the day that I actively put in the effort to restart my shadow work and commune with my deities. I’ll begin my ancestral work and getting ready for Imbolc. I’m speaking it into existence and it will happen!!
Understanding depression is crucial for finding effective coping strategies. Common feelings include exhaustion, emptiness, and isolation, which can be compounded by daily responsibilities like work and family. Implementing practices such as journaling, meditation, and connecting with spirituality might aid in alleviating depressive feelings. Shadow work, which involves introspection and confronting personal challenges, can also be a powerful tool for emotional growth. Setting aside time for self-care and acknowledging your feelings is vital. Engaging in ancestral work and rituals connected to significant events like Imbolc can provide support and a sense of purpose during difficult times. Remember, reaching out to others and sharing experiences can alleviate feelings of loneliness and foster a supportive community. You are not alone in your struggles, and taking small steps towards healing is an important journey that many are on.
Felt this myself my mind is always racing, depression is no joke
