Winning The War In My Head - Adam Nebbs

 

It's been hard getting up the courage to share but I think these days it's important we do.

I've battled anxiety for many years now, even when I was young all I can remember was obsessing about what others thought of me. In the last two year's I've lost my best mate to suicide, seen a marriage crumble and my self with it.

I'm 30 now, a single dad, a manager responsible for the well-being of others but have to battle with myself daily.

I've been very reflective, listened to numerous audio books and podcasts, meditated, spoken to a professional all with the goal of feeling better in myself.

I feel I've started the journey, know what I need to but some days haven't the energy to do it.

I feel optimistic, I feel It's within myself to get better, to win the war in my head but it's not easy and I know so many others fight these wars daily.

We must be kind to ourselves so we can be kind to others and reap the happiness that comes from it.

I wish all those well in their journeys, we can do it and deserve to be happy
