PLEASE! Take a break and avoid healing burn out

[Puer Aeternus]

Working on your mental health? This trauma work is no joke. Getting waterboarded working through your emotions on the regular can cause burn out like nothing else.

Especially if all/most of your life has been spent neck deep in suffering. When you really don't know anything besides feeling like low to high grade emotional BLEHness.

Please, give yourself the time to rest from that hell. Do something actually joyful, get outside and kiss some bugs, hug your pets or some blankets, or whatever gets your rocks off. Build a container to live shamelessly like a five year old for awhile- Cause fuck it, somewhere along the way you lost touch with em and didn't get to experience all those pure moments.

You'd be surprised, you may actually make more progress doing this than just churning and burning through your problems with a battle axe.

Take a break!

Yes, rep this 100%.

Thinking through emotional problems can be like using a pile driver to hammer a nail; it can be the wrong tool in your arsenal!

It is always valid and necessary to just be.

You don't have to be useful or productive to be worthy of love, life.
