Been feeling quite
down lately as well as dealing with weird reoccurring illness shit.
Trying to figure out what helps to lift the mood including some diet
changes, upping vitamins, some exercise, walks etc but realized
something. When I am in my little garden tending to the veggies and
fruit some kind of peace comes over me. Today I just sat for 5 minutes
while a plump bee did his rounds inspecting each yellow cucumber flower
for some treats and buzzed as he moved
to the next one. For 5 min I just peaceful and forgot the fog that often
clouds my brain and the weight that's so heavy it makes me exhausted.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar II in 2008 and even though I don't think I have this as my symptoms don't fit, I obviously have a life long mental illness that can pop it's head up at any moment to bite me in the ass. It affects my daily life, it affects my creativity and the ability to get as much done as I would like to. Each day is a challenge to keep moving and not let the cloud engulf me. Obviously nature is some kind of key to me coping better so I think I have to push myself out into the woods more often and see what happens. For those of you out there also fighting your own battle with mental illness. You're not alone x.
