i’ve been neglecting my mental health lately (for the past year probably) and compensating for it by being extra diligent with my physical health, forgetting that physical health is only one piece of the puzzle and having excellent physical health doesn’t make up for having terrible mental health
they say stress kills and turns out it’s not an exaggeration
by letting stress build over the past year and doing nothing to address it, i’ve somehow caused my brain to forget how to see properly - some wiring between my brain and eyes have gotten tangled up or disconnected and my eyes have lost their ability to focus, which has led me to see double and affected my ability to drive, work, do some hobbies, and maintain a strong social life
this has been going on all month and i’m finally starting to accept the reality of it and prioritizing my mental health, learning how to destress from the past year, and trying to restore my vision
take care of yourselves & don’t neglect your mental health 💜
