Is my healing journey supposed to feel like this👀

Random Thoughts;

💭What's on my mind: Ever since I started this journey I thought I was doing everything right. I would wake up early in the morning and make my bed, journaling my thoughts as we write in my soul healing workbook. I even began to enjoy my alone time but why am I still feeling depressed? What am I doing wrong? I don't have anyone to talk to that I feel as though genuinely cares or understands what I am dealing with. I announced my celibacy but by doing that I realized I cut off half of my male friends. Mad, not the slightest because doing that showed me who was rocking with me and who wasn't. But then that left me with my best friend who basically created a life for herself that doesn't include me because I decided to move across states so I get it. Since being back home I've committed to this healing journey. Every day has been a roller coaster but today feels like I hit rock bottom and I can't shake it off or get out of bed. It makes me feel like all the effort I've made has been for nothing. That is why I have to ask myself if I am doing it right. Why am I so down today? I hope this prompt lets someone know that you're not Alone I'm struggling just as you are. This journey is not easy but it's necessary for you to reach your pure potential. I promise not to give up even if I'm having a bad day. But it will be all worth it in the end. As well for you too.

Current Mood: 🥹 (🥺)

... Read moreHealing is an intricate journey that often includes a range of emotions, from hope to despair. It’s common to experience setbacks, even when you feel you’re doing everything right. Embracing self-care practices like journaling can help clarify thoughts and feelings, but it's crucial to acknowledge that healing takes time. The phrase, 'Everything I am going through is planting something valuable in me,' reminds us that our struggles can lead to growth and understanding. Connecting with supportive communities online or in-person is vital as it fosters shared experiences. Reflect on your progress and small victories—every step counts in the healing process. Finding activities that bring joy, whether through nature, art, or connection with friends, can be rejuvenating. Always remember, it's okay to seek help from professionals if needed. The healing path is not linear, and each person's experience varies. Stay motivated by reminding yourself of your goals and reaching out to others going through similar journeys. You're not alone; many are facing similar challenges, and together, we can find strength and hope.
