just frustrated, but i can get through this

frustrated by the lability of my mood and also the 'wrong turn' mentally that I sometimes


take. I don't know whether to think about it as just a part of life....well it is a common


part of my own life...but I know I can get through it - just have to keep at those things


that are part of taking care of life. I feel dark. But this will pass. I sincerely hope so.


Sending xxoo and peace

Yea, I, too, find it easy to get frustrated with the constant motion of emotional lability, but radical acceptance and compassion for my weird spots makes them much easier to track and manage. Loving myself the way I am is part of taking care of life, be it the bright of day or the proverbial dark of night.

You can get through this darkness. You can do this!!!!

Whatever the frustration is, mark, don’t let it overcome you and stay positive as best you can. I have things that frustrate me, make me mad, make me sad, make me crazy even - and I have to learn how to sit with it, alongside it, and get through my day. It’s been that way for many years and so now, jus like managing mental illness. I have developed coping techniques and mad skillz to get through.

Vent, release, talk through stuff in appropriate places or journal about it all you need, but never ever give up hope.

I just bought some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream to get me through a depressive hump. Whatever works for each day! You can do this. Happy Friday. Xoxo
