Taking Care of Your Mental Health: A Gentle Reminder

Hey there,

I see you. Whether you're thriving or just surviving today, I want to remind you that your mental health journey is valid, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. 🌱💖

Life can feel overwhelming at times—big emotions, endless to-do lists, and that nagging voice in your head that says you’re not doing enough. But here’s the thing: you are enough. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to breathe. You’re allowed to simply be.

Here are a few gentle reminders for your heart today:

✨ Rest is productive. You don’t have to earn your rest. Sleep in, take that nap, or spend an hour doing something that brings you peace. You deserve it.

✨ Feelings are temporary. Even the darkest days don’t last forever. Reach out to someone you trust, write it out, cry it out, or just sit with it. Healing isn’t linear, but it’s still happening.

✨ Small steps are still steps. Got out of bed? Amazing. Drank some water? You’re doing great. Sent that text you’ve been avoiding? You’re on fire. Celebrate those small victories—they matter.

✨ Ask for help when you need it. Whether it’s a friend, a therapist, or a hotline, there’s no shame in seeking support. You are not a burden; you are loved.

You’re not alone in this, and there’s strength in letting others see your vulnerability. Keep showing up for yourself, even if it’s messy. Progress isn’t about perfection; it’s about perseverance.

Take a deep breath, drink some water, and give yourself the same kindness you’d give to a friend. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough. 💜

P.S. If you’re struggling and need immediate support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to mental health hotlines or resources in your area. You are never alone.

Don't push yourself too hard💕

To those who don't know, I took a mini break this week. The election really got to me, more than I thought it would, and I was taking spiritual damage from the world collectively grieving. I haven't mastered blocking that shit out 🤣

Between my call center job, my family, and everything else in my life, my brain went on a hard chill. Im doing what I need to survive. Which is staying the hell off my phone.

And yknow what, it has really helped. My emotions are starting to level out now that I can pick out what's actually mine.

Maybe I'll update this week, maybe I still need to chill, who knows.

Rest is important yall 😗😗😗

And as a friendly reminder, demanding pt 2 to any of my works is the opposite of motivation yall think it is. Especially if it's your first time commenting. You may be new to my blog, and if so, welcome 😗 but while it's hard to infer tone, my sensitive ass interprets it as youre not really appreciating the work. I'm not a machine. It seems like I'm cranking these out and im not. It takes a huge emotional toll to write these fics. And I aint had it this week.

Do you have to comment and reblog to enjoy my work? No. I will never ask you to do something you're too shy to do. I juss want folks to have fun on my blog. But I promise, telling me what you liked about the fic will 200% motivate me to write more.

This isn't directed at anyone. Juss a heads up for the new folks.

My stack of books arrived and I'm looking forward to reading them. I had a nice summer weekend with time spent in the garden, nature walks, ice cream in the town centre, fireworks and a river filled with candles on little paper ships. Summer is a wonderful season. For many years I didn't like it too much because I always felt like I should do more "summer things" but since I've let go of all expectations it has probably turned into my favourite season.

Monarch butterflies will not attempt to fly in the rain because the raindrops will damage their wings. They will rest and wait it out. It’s self-preservation. It’s okay to rest during the storms in your life. Take all the time you need. You will fly again once the storm passes.

Spent my golden weekend relaxing extremely hard.

Did very little studying but that’s ok. While I certainly don’t feel burnt out at all, residency is tiring, and thinking about having 2 days off in a row made me tear up a little bit lol. I decided if I’m feeling that emotional about a normal person weekend, it would be a good idea to take it easy on studying/work for a couple of days.

People underestimate burnout, but if you consistently press through burnout like I did for 20+ years, you can end up with stress related illnesses that last forever and don't go away... Stress can 100% unalive even the healthiest of people. You could be in physical pain the rest of your life. Rest now. Anyone being mean to you about it can get lost.
