We all experience and handle stress differently. For some, it means getting out of bed and moving your body. For others, the thought of getting out of bed is quite repulsive and nearly impossible.
Whether you can or cannot, you are a warrior.
If you need to stay in bed today, keep on reading. This is your sign.
No one can truly predict a mental health day. Stressors and anxiety creep up on us almost instantaneously. We play many roles throughout the day in our work, college, and even personal lives. Responsibilities and deadlines are being thrown at us constantly.
Which is why we owe it to ourselves to recharge our bodies.
Sometimes you can't get out bed in the morning, and that's okay. Can't even shower? That's okay too. The fact that you woke up today is its own celebration.
The world can and will stop for you.
We have to remember that we are purely human, and not soulless machines. It's important that we take a step back once in a while because it's the only way to feel whole again.
If this is what you needed to hear today, then go straight ahead. Give yourself this day to relax. There's no shame in turning off those pesky alarms, closing the curtains, and crawling back in bed.
Sleep. Don't sleep. Watch a season of your favorite show. All that matters is that you decided to choose you today. Be proud of that.
Nothing is more important than you.
Remember you have felt this before. If you survived then, you can survive now. This too shall pass, so believe in tomorrow.
