It’s an old cliche, but true: You are NOT alone!

DEREK’S DISCLAIMER:  I am not a medical professional, neither am I giving any medical or legal advice. If you are seeking help from a doctor or an attorney, please consult said professionals.  These are my personal thoughts and feelings on the subjects discussed, and my blog is my own personal experiences and journey with mental imbalance.  Thanking you in advance!

Welcome back my friends and fellow mind benders!

This is probably going to be my shortest blog post. So, enjoy it while you can! Ha!

It has been said many, MANY times before – ye olde phrase – “you are not alone.” And hearing it, you probably want to vomit. So, why am I saying it? Because it is true: You are NOT alone.

So, why am I doing this topic on such a corny saying??? Because it is soooooo easy to get lost in this BS known as life, wandering around aimlessly on that hamster wheel, repeatedly doing your thing: Going to work, going to the gym, being in a relationship, making sure the bills are paid and your family is fed. Trying to be this, trying to be that, trying to do this, trying to do that, trying to be anything but fly. (okay that last bit is from a song. Oh never mind LOLOL)

But in going through life trying to do all the things you are “supposed” to be doing, it is very easy to get lost. Or stuck. Or feel hopeless. Or drained. Or that you don’t matter.

You DO matter!

And you are NOT alone!

You are not alone on that damn hamster wheel of life!

You are not alone in your struggles with mental illness.

You are not alone in your struggles with depression.

You are not alone in feeling as if you don’t matter.

You are not alone in feeling that people are letting you down.

You are not alone in your battles with weight or finances or struggling to continue during this pandemic that is STILL GOING ON!

You are not alone if you are thinking of ending it all.

You. Are. Not. Alone!!

Chances are if you are going through something or feeling a certain way, others are, too. And I cry fowl on people who claim that everything is okay, hunky dory, so wonderful,
Atlanta peachy keen. Yuck! I mean, the social media pics say so, right?? Bull. Shit.

And if you feel you don’t have anyone to talk to, please, please, PLEASE reach out to ME! No, I am not a doctor or a therapist or medical professional as my disclaimer proclaims, BUT I am actually a very good listener. I won’t give advice unless you want me to LOL.

The comment section is always free and open. I will even share my email address with you if you don’t wish to utilize the comment section. Just ask.

Or if not me, reach out to SOMEONE!

And as the song suggests and as I have said myself, PLENTY OF TIMES, come to my aid.

In summation, I get it. I am struggling. We are all probably struggling in some way. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. Fight it!! Talk it out! Scream it out!! Sing it out!! SHOUT IT OUT!!!

Let someone know that you just can ‘t deal. And as I’ve said before, this ONGOING pandemic ain’t helping things. This extra stress of dealing with a potentially deadly virus and very stupid, disagreeable people who either don’t believe that there is a virus or who don’t believe in the vaccine or in wearing masks, all of this can really wear you down.

I am here for you. I really am, because I know what it is like to feel alone and to BE alone. But again, you are not alone, my fellow bent minds.

As always, please be mentally well and safe!!!

P.S. I am now an Amazon Affiliate! And I feel that since there are a LOT of Star Wars fans out there, this is a pretty relevant video – a new hope. Because I still feel hope even in the darkest of circumstances. Enjoy!
