Hi.
Its okay to struggle. Its okay not to be full of the joys of spring.
2020 has been a terrible year and its affected all of us to one extent or another. Being diabetic and having other illnesses and problems have only made things seem worse and that's perfectly understandable.
If you are anxious, depressed, down, fed up, tearful, feel ill, are generally unhappy then please understand that those are perfectly logical things to feel, especially now.
But don't beat yourself up about feeling that way. Don't blame yourself because you haven't done anything wrong, You're just experiencing entirely natural responses to the world around you. I feel it as well.
But you aren't alone.
We might feel it; we might feel that we are the only person experiencing this or suffering with that...but we aren't.
Look around you and you will find neighbour's, family, friends- all experiencing the same even if they don't let on that they are. Its just that we aren't very good at saying so.
I'm not here in any capacity. I'm not a counsellor and I don't have a crystal ball. I cant solve the problems. I'm just passing through and extending the ear of friendship (it would be the hand but social distancing and all that...)
But what I can say is this. You cant help how you feel and if you have been or are ill, then don't blame yourself. What's done is done and you can't change the past no matter how much you would like to.
Think of the good times you've had, think of a brighter tomorrow and know that you are not alone and that I value you even if I've never known you or had any interaction with you. You are wanted, you are loved and you are valued. And if we all felt the same way about each other then the world would be a better place.
So look after yourselves, stay safe, be sensible, check your bloods (lol) and remember, if it went wrong yesterday, you can put it right today.
Take care out there.
