ONLY THE LONELY

My inner critic keeps me awake at night.

When I’m down, I don’t leave my room for days, I don’t eat, sleep or stop thinking.

Being overwhelmed with much emotions makes me down, so down that I can barely move my limbs, get out of bed or even smile at my loved ones.

And when I’m happy I’m like a manic, I love life, people and I’m open for crazy ideas .

I dreamt to be with someone who knows how to hold me, speak softly in my ears and say “IT IS GONNA BE OK, BABE”.

Being surrounded with those who can’t help you or make you feel down all the time, it can be really hard.

Last time I broke down, a darling friend took my hand and tucked me into bed and I just felt as safe as a baby.

Today I’m far away from my darlings, sometimes I feel shaky, anxious and I panic. Panic attacks makes my anxiety have an incredible effect on my ability to control my emotions. Recently I’m showing inappropriate anger, but sometimes anger is necessary.

During my anxiety I empty my bladder frequently, I get numbness in my arm, I get nightmares, I feel on the edge, when anyone snaps at me I keep thinking non stop about that, my decisions are indecisive, I’m afraid of the crowd and being left alone at same time, my body/muscles are tense and in pain, I’m easily frightened.

I don’t know what I’m doing and though thinking of my problems for hours, I don’t think they are resolved. To me, the world is just a big scary place. Basically I feel losing control. I’m afraid of what waiting me for me in the future.

Strangely enough, I keep thinking of the things I have not yet accomplished.

Feeling that the walls are closing in around to suffocating me.

Anxiety can destroy your confidence in yourself!!!!!!

I’m no a superwoman. I’m still trying to stand out strong. Next month I’m gonna be 32 years old, so I’m a survivor.

In the end it is no shame to feel unwell or to recognize that you are hurt or disappointed or depressed.

Being depressed doesn’t define me, it allows me to see my human emotions which I’m proud and ashamed of them.

PS: This post is in memory of my best-friend who passed away at a young age.

There is no greater guarantee of a long, happy, healthy, and prosperous life than for you to be continually working on being, having, and achieving more and more of the things you really want.

YES some steps need to be taken alone … It’s the only way to really figure out where you need to go and who you need to be in life.

Some other steps need to be taken with friends and the loved ones. Friendships are unique relationships because unlike family relationships, we choose to enter into them. And unlike other voluntary bonds, like marriages and romantic relationships, they lack a formal structure.

As the end of 2015 is on the way, I’m trying to set clear goals to enable myself to release my full potential for personal and professional success.

Goals can enable you to overcome any obstacle and to make your future achievement unlimited.

So did you set your goals or not yet?!

A lot of people like to tell me that there was nothing wrong with me before and I didn’t need to change anything. They’re half right. 

From the outside, I looked fine and I never felt the need to make a change based on my looks, which is what took me so long of leading an unhealthy lifestyle to actually make a change. But what you can’t see by looking at someone on the outside is their health. 

This is what people need to realize – skinny people can be just as unhealthy as someone who is bigger than them. But, because they look ok by society’s standards, they don’t need to make a change!! Sorry, NO!!

I needed to make a change determined by the state of my health. If you’re unhealthy and you make a positive lifestyle change, it WILL naturally be reflected in your body. Focus on your health and your body will reward you for it.
