Struggling with life.
Not what I was planning on posting about at all. But something that is heavy on my heart today.
This morning I was feeling really down. Definitely more than I should have. I have alot on my plate at any given time. I work a full time job and raising three daughters. I barely get any time to myself. It is just how it is. Life is like that sometimes.
I struggle from time to time with not being good enough. Sometimes it is cause I forget something my wife wanted me to do. Sometimes it is I couldn't get to something one of my daughters wanted me to do. Sometimes it cause can't get something done that I was trying to do.
But it stems from my youth and my dad saying I was good for nothing. It haunts me to this day even though I know it is wrong. I feel that I'm have been programmed to hate myself for not being good enough and I can't find the manual to reprogram. I really think it might be something I struggle with for the rest of my life.
But I am feeling better now. Cause I wasn't happy in feeling down. I thought to let it out instead of bottling it up. Took a couple deep breaths. Remembering that I am not useless. Remembering that I am here for a purpose and that I have value. Remembering my faith and understanding that sometimes you just need to reach out to get help.
So what I will say is if your struggling with something don't be afraid to ask for help even if it is just in pray. I truly believe that letting things go is much healthier than bottling it up.

I felt this more than I know how to put in words. I myself work a day job. One that feels soul crushing on a regular basis. Then I have three toddlers of my own. And at 44 it's alot to say the least. I carry alot of self deprecating thoughts from growing up also. I hate to say it's nice to know I'm not alone, because I want those around me to be better than I am about how we treat ourselves. So instead, I'll say keep going. Keep writing. And when needed ask those you trust for help. Together, maybe we can find a way to lift each other, and ourselves up above the noise of the past.
You got this. Keep writing stay and connected. Glad you're feeling better.
