Made it through the day

I was very nervous for today. I was gonna see a lot of family today including younger family. Which made me very anxious about how I was gonna feel or think. I got there and obviously still felt anxious but I pushed through and still had a decent time. I do my best to not overthink or over analyze things. But as you know it can be very difficult. As well as after going home then looking back on today and trying to remember if I felt a certain way or if I did something wrong. Throughout the day I did catch myself analyzing my feelings and questioning what emotions were real. Which I do almost everyday but today felt a bit worse with the questioning. But the good thing to remember is that I made it through the day. I did what I had to, I smiled, laughed, and nothing technically bad happened. Your brain can fight you so much. But at the end of the day we can remember that even if it was extremely hard, we still made it. And not that I’m not struggling. But I’d like to express how even though your at rock bottom you can still make it through your day. You choose your happiness.

@lilianaixg Thank you so much. People don’t understand how hard it actually is. You’ll get there one day where you can be with your family. I can’t promise it won’t be hard. But you’ve gotta be strong to move forward.
