for anyone who needs to hear it:

if something you can’t seem to control is chewing on your mental space and negatively impacting your life - making it hard to think positive, get out of bed, get work done, remember what you need to do, clean your spaces, etc - you are NOT:

• making things up
• being a lazy bum
• making excuses
• deliberately ruining your life
• a bad person

you ARE:

• noticing something is wrong with your health
• in need of assessment and treatment to get better!
