And you’ll be. It’s ok to be broken. 😊 You don’t have to try that hard.

You see.. many times it’s a crack or many cracks that make a plate, or a mug unique and beautiful. Don’t be too harsh on yourself.

I had a rough day too today. It was a rare instance but I was angry with one of the classes I taught. I think they also knew, but let’s say that I’m human, and that is bound to happen sometimes.

Bad days, good days, they are still our days. ‘Our’ days make our life unique and beautiful.

Or you can tell yourself, like I do, that you’re special, delicate and limited edition. 🤣😘

I had a patient yesterday who just developed panic attacks after having a milder case of Covid19. It’s a whole new thing for him. I’m treating something else for him which is well-controlled, but sometimes you just need permission to have them. I hope his is just a result of the illness and will get better soon. I hope yours improves as well.

I’ve been there – panic attacks are the worst. I think the worst part of them is how they make me feel hopeless after working hard to get things under control. But I’ve learned that sometimes we have to accept that we can’t control ourselves and out mind and body will do what it needs to get our attention. But I’m sure you know this too.

It doesn’t make things better to know that, but it does remind me that we need to pay attention to ourselves. I remember once, when my depression was at its worst, I had finally had a day where I could go out and get groceries and leave my apartment without feeling like I was walking around with a giant “FAILURE” sign over my head. But then on my walk back, half a block from my apartment, music playing in my headphones, I started to feel like the walls were closing in around me. I barely made back into my apartment. I don’t really remember a lot from that time. It wasn’t even the worst panic attack I had that year. But for some reason it’s the one that sticks with me.

It sucked. It sucks. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that this week. I hope you feel better soon. But also, be kind to yourself. It’s okay to not be okay. (No pun intended.) Just know that you will be okay eventually.
