New chapter

Hey @creative_writer , how does it feel to get them out? I'm curious to understand.

Hi @creative_writer,

I hear you, it can be really hard to reach out especially if we are use to handling things on our own. In saying that, you've taken a leap and reached out here so go you - that's big.

@Creative I totally get that feeling of guilt. I usually find it keeps me stuck for longer though.

Putting myself down for the time I'm finding it hard to do anything just makes me feel worse, you know?

I have started trying to remind myself that rest is also productive.

That makes sense to be honest, the being tired. You're 100% right, we can only do what we can do with what capacity we have in that moment. Exactly, we all have that point where we just need to stop and let ourselves catch our breath. We can't be at 100% all the time.

There you go, you did do things, even with how you were feeling - that's not easy.

It can feel super heavy. Hopefully this community space reminds you that it can get easier and that you don't have to carry that weight on your own in the meantime.

Your best is good enough.

That can happen for sure, I usually try make sure I'm a bit easier on myself after a session because it can bring stuff up.

Absolutely, two things can be true, right? I like that you're able to recognise that, yes things have been hard, and you're allowed to be sad about what could have been whilst also reminding yourself of your growth and be hopeful for what will be.

I'll be logging off now but take care and reach out in the forum again if you need to chat!
