  • I carry a lot of shame for being ill. Having my mental health (insomnia, depression and teensy anxiety alongside the long term effects of covid) affect my work and income is a new low for me.
    However, I am glad to have an emergency fund and blessed to still have some work. I am even more lucky to have a steady stream of friends available to reach out to at any time for support. #famgang! I am trying to be 'wisely kind' to myself to give myself the space and time to recover. Nevertheless, I need to work through the emotions of shame and guilt, the feelings of inadequacy, before I can accept what I'm going through and finally begin healing (hopefully, this shall happen soon).
    I'm going to continue working on it. Please know that you can too! Keep taking good care of yourself. Listen to your heart and agony. Keep yourself surrounded by loved ones and rest whenever you can. You and I shall get better. Everything in life is temporary, so this will pass too. I KNOW IT FOR SURE!
    Love always,
    Nandini / Alief
