🖤 Getting Through a Mental Health Crisis: One Breath at a Time

I’m not going to dress this up.

Right now, I’m in the middle of a mental health crisis.
Not yesterday. Not last month. Now.
And I don’t have a five-step plan or a perfect recovery timeline.
But I do have this moment.
And sometimes, that has to be enough.

I’m writing this because maybe you’ve been here too—
The heaviness.
The confusion.
The deep ache of not being okay, and not knowing how long that ache will last.
The sense that the world keeps moving, and you’re just… stuck.

Here’s what I want you (and myself) to remember:

• You don’t have to be okay to be worthy.

• You are not weak for struggling.

• You are not alone, even when your mind tells you otherwise.

Right now, I’m reminding myself to breathe. To eat something. To drink some water. To go outside, even if just for a moment.
Not to fix anything, but to hold on.
Because that’s what this part is—holding on until the next part comes.

If you’re in it too, I want you to know:
You’re not broken. You’re human. And even in this space, you matter.

No, I don’t have a neat ending to this post.
But I’m still here. And that’s something. Carlin
