I thought I was okay but I wasn't

If some of you are currently struggling with their mental health right now, please know you are not alone. I’ve been struggling with stress/anxiety my whole life but these past two weeks have been incredibly hard. Graves’ disease intensified my emotions x3 and it felt like everything was a constant battle. Lately, depression has been taking over and it's been way harder to get back up. I guess I’m still trying to get over last week and I am still trying to get over a mean comment I received. My hyper-sensitivity took control and it doesn’t feel good at all. I haven’t felt like this for a while and I wish I didn’t have to feel.

I also stopped my gemmotherapy treatment for 10 days (this natural treatment is for Graves’ disease and for stress/anxiety) and I think it made me feel even more. My emotions were all over the place, and I couldn’t control them. But now I’m back on my gemmotherapy treatment and hopefully, I will feel better in the next few days.
I am not there yet but I am feeling a bit better, and I am working on myself every day.

If you're interested, here's what I do every day for my mental health + Graves’ disease:

  • Yoga

  • Breathing exercises like Pranayama

  • Meditation

  • New diet

  • More organic products

  • Gemmotherapy (herbal treatment)

  • Long walks

  • More time with friends and loved ones

  • More rest

And the one thing I am still learning to do every day is to be kind to myself.

Hope this helps :)

Sending love to everyone x
