Sometimes the weight isn’t what you’re carrying, it’s how long you’ve been carrying it alone.
My Thought vs. Right Thought
| My Thought (Holding Me Back) | Right Thought (Shifting My Mindset) |
|---|---|
| I’ve built a life around privacy, but now I feel suffocated and unseen. | Privacy is peace – but connection is fuel. You’re allowed to reach out and recalibrate your circle. |
| I rely on one person too much and they can’t always be there. | No one person can carry our whole weight. Build your tribe, not your lifeline. |
| Too many expectations – from others and myself are crushing me. | Shift from expectations to intentions. Do it for yourself, not just to impress the world. |
| I used to be so ambitious, now it just makes me anxious. | Ambition is good – but obsession isn’t. Don’t forget to live while you chase. |
| What if I get hit by something again? What if I break again? | You’re not who you were back then. You have scars and survival stories. |
| The past keeps replaying in my head – I feel stuck in a loop. | Memories visit but don’t let them move in. This is your time now. |
| There’s so much complexity in life, I just want to give up sometimes. | Simplify your focus. Not everything needs solving today. Just take one breath. Then one step. |
Reality Check:
Depression is not weakness – it’s an internal SOS. You’re not broken, you’re overloaded. And healing doesn’t need a deadline.
