i can’t remember exactly when my anxiety started, but i can’t remember a time when i didn’t have anxiety.
my childhood was difficult at times. i have two very loving parents who have raised me to be strong, kind and fearless–and for that i will be forever grateful. that being said, i didn’t live in a happy home. my parents had a toxic marriage, my sister and i could barely stand in the same room together for more than 5 minutes, and i honestly can’t remember a streak of days where there wasn’t some argument going on of sorts. not small arguments, either.
from the outside looking in, we were just the cormacks. we lived on the bottom of the hill of a dead end street with a nice house and a basketball court in our driveway. we had a dog that slobbered too much and we threw neighborhood parties in the summer on our back porch.
i don’t blame my parents for the anxiety and depression that i developed. at the time, i “hated” them and blamed them for the countless nights i’d fall asleep crying and the cuts on my wrist. we all were living in a toxic environment and my parents did they best they could to keep my sister and i happy, but it was exhausting for all of us.
mental health wasn’t talked about when i was 18 nearly as much as it is today. while I’m certain i’m not the only one struggled with it in my white picket fence hometown, it was hard as fuck feeling as though my illness was outlandish and ‘crazy.’ fast forward to the present, while i still struggle with anxiety, I’ve learned coping mechanisms that have improved it drastically.
however, i’ve realized throughout the course of my struggle with mental health is that I’ve NEVER been good at connecting my mind with the present moment. an emotion can last seconds, hours or even DAYS if you let it. and most of the time, i let it linger.
i’ve partnered with @_theglowclub to chat about my journey with mental health, what "mindfulness" really means and how you DON'T have to follow everyone else's lead in your mindful journey.
