elf Care
I was reminded today that people shouldn’t be ashamed to take antidepressants. If you were diabetic, you’d take your insulin. If you were lacking in Vitamin D, you’d take supplements. So why, if you’re lacking in serotonin, do you struggle to take antidepressants?
Self care is so bloody important; it matters over every test, result, interview and job. If you need to rest, rest. If you need time alone, retreat. Mental illness is not a personal failure however which way you look at it. It is not a character flaw and it is not a personality defect, it is an illness which you can take medication for if that’s what you need. Don’t be ashamed of that. Half the world is on medication for something.
It is NECESSARY to look after yourself. There is no selfishness in taking care of yourself even if you are a parent. Remember, a well ‘you’ enables a well ‘them’ ❤️
