The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

This is Cookie. She's a wild bunny that my mother rescued as a newborn. Feeding her some flowers and wondering... have you eaten today? Have you had some water? Have you taken your medication(s)? Just a friendly reminder to check in with yourself and listen to your needs today. Hope you're doing well out there 💜

How can you strengthen the connection you have with yourself?

Yes, the connections we have with others are super important, but so is the connection we have with ourselves!

We do spend the most time with ourselves, after all, and we deserve to have the best relationship we can. 💌

How can you improve the connection you have with yourself? What are some ways you can strengthen it?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she can strengthen her relationship with herself by doing the activities she enjoys more consistently.

Depression 17h

There is a thing I have realised that I am with my all ups and downs.. It defines me...I do face struggle to keep focus and do my work.. It’s just not easy.. I pause sometimes.. Also, I zone out randomly.. I have to take breaks.. I can feel my unease and the struggle to go on.. Like I am planing to do something but it just doesn’t turn out so easily.. I struggle badly.. Due to all of this, I feel I can't and sometimes the scariest part that I just skip.. But, I wanna honestly tell myself, yeah, I do struggle badly but I am giving my very best.. And, I am not stopping myself and I am going on.. Yeah, this is what that defines me.. I am with my all flaws and struggles.. With all ups and downs.. This is me.. The real me.. I am not just ditching myself.. I will never... And, I have accepted myself just the way it is.. #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe #MightyTogether

How would you describe your overall experience with long COVID?

Experiencing long COVID can be confusing, frustrating, and disorienting—especially since there’s still so much to learn about navigating its fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable symptoms.

What has your experience been like? What symptoms have surprised you the most? What information or guidance has been most helpful for you?

When I’m in pain, the kindest thing I can do for myself is…

Happy Monday, Mighty fam! 💕

Pain can take many forms—mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional. It can be fleeting or long-lasting, and it looks different for each of us.

So when pain comes knocking at your door, how can you show yourself kindness and compassion? Maybe that kindness looks like taking a walk or a nap. Maybe it’s setting a daily intention or practicing a gentle affirmation. Or perhaps it’s spending quality time with a furry friend.

Share with us below! 🌷
