When will it end?

Im struggling with posting more mental health advocacy posts because of the pandemic and I have been dealing with some anxiety and nervousness around this.  I want this to end I want social injustice to end I want there to be a vacccine to prevent this. I so long for a sense of community where my anxiety is not part of it, but I know what there is no going back; going back to system that wasn’t working is not the way. Doesn’t mean it’s any less daunting to think about. So let me start with some numbers that are helpful for some. 

National suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255

San Diego Access and Crisis hot line: 1-800-724-7240

Trans lifeline: 1-877-565-8860

Reddit: Mostly for support and have some place of anonymity to connect with others that are also going through it. 

I also think that starting some inner work and wanting to start sessions with a therapist and/or counseling whilst staying at home and quarantine could be of great benefit for people. There are several great therapist that are still having online session and are skilled and able to help, as always there doesn’t need to be a diagnosis to start sessions. 

Therapy den is a website that is great to find a therapist that may match your cultural background and have those that work on a sliding fee scale. As well as Open Path (another website) which has a flat low fee to reach therapists. Asana is an online counseling app that centers around BIPOC counseling and therapists. 

With this I am saying that I cannot compare everyone’s experience with mine but I have some good weeks, and by good I mean I just work and play animal crossing and read while I watch the day go by, and some bad weeks. And by bad I mean I had cried all night and my sleep has been out of routine and my dreams have been vivid and I wake up either gasping for air or thinking that something is going to attack me. Eating too much or not eating enough, So I’m feeling it. And its okay, I want to say its okay. 

Take care all.
