It is not possible to be happy all the time. Something which is hard to admit to someone who has been in a dark place. I have fears around going back there, so even the smallest inkling of sadness raises alarm bells. This can lead to overcompensation- trying to make sure things donu2019t go south.

  3. Its Not Possible To Be Happy All The Time It is 10am on a friday morning, the week before Christmas and I am tired. I literally cannot deal with the slightest thing, and so I am in tears. As an empath with anxiety and depression it is really important to be self aware. I know that the smallest thing triggers me when I am tired and run down. I am aware that I feel things deeply and can overreact to situations. I can tell when I haven’t been taking care of myself. And I need to give myself leway to be sad, frustrated, angry or stressed. It is normal. It is not possible to be happy all the time. Something which is hard to admit to someone who has been in a dark place. I have fears around going back there, so even the smallest inkling of sadness raises alarm bells. This can lead to overcompensation- trying to make sure things don’t go south. I have been over committing myself. Both physically and mentally. Which is how I got to this point of exhaustion. I have been pressuring myself to be ‘on’ all the time-Giving every ounce of my energy to other people and causes. WWW.INSIDETHEFUZZYHEAD.COM

  4. Its Not Possible To Be Happy All The Time It is so hard to be selfish when you are not feeling good inside. You don’t feel as though you deserve any energy. You don’t feel worthy. Being selfish is stigmatised as a negative thing and you don’t need any more negativity. But it is important to allow yourself to have those moments of being down. Our brains work on opposition. So to feel good, it needs to know what feeling bad feels like for comparison. If you are always good it will start to feel numb. Giving yourself space to be down is great as long as you can get up and be good again. Instead of telling yourself to be ‘selfish’ try to give yourself ‘selfcare’ or ‘selflove’. Then there is less negativity around it and taking time out becomes a positive thing rather than a negative. Letting out emotions is also really important. Now I have had a good cry and journalled out some things I feel free. There is room in my head for things other than how crappy I feel. Being exhausted and sad is not fun, but at least when you break down you know it can’t get any worse. You have hit rock bottom. So give yourself some space, time and love. Allow emotions to flow and don’t suppress yourself. It is ok to be you. WWW.INSIDETHEFUZZYHEAD.COM
