Wellness or Illness



 This is so true, both physically and mentally.  Most people realize this about their physical health, but it's just as true mentally.  


I lived my earlier years either blind to the fact that I needed to make time for myself mentally, or I pushed things back thinking they would go away on their own.  I just needed time to heal from a trauma.  It wasn't a broken bone.  It would go away I thought.  I could push through the nightmares and the flashbacks and the anxiety.


Wrong... 


I have a long list of mental disorders and illnesses.  Some are because I didn't get help earlier.  I shoved memories back and I kept going and my body and mind finally pushed back a few years ago.  They had enough.  Now I have to make time for my illnesses.  


Don't be like me.  Make time for your wellness.  It's worth it.... You are worth it.
