Just snap out of it....
Everyone's well intended words.....just snap out of it. It's not that easy, and if it was no one would suffer from a mental illness. The last words you say to someone who is struggling is just snap out of it! There have been many things over the past few months that have made me want to pull the covers over my head and call it a day before 8:00 am. Life is hard for everyone whether they want to admit it or not. Everyone struggles and life isn't perfect. I've been reminded of this in sad ways the past month. In the book we read in small group, we read about gratitude. About being specific with our gratitude, being grateful in good times and in bad times. I truly believe we are better equipped to handle the small problems when we face the bigger problems with a sense of gratitude. There is always something to be thankful for. Some of the hardest times for me are when I am struggling and I tend to get in the mindframe of why me? Enough is enough or I'm not strong
