Calling yourself "crazy" or "insane" just because you feel confused, frustrated, stressed, sad, angry, grumpy, anxious, worried, or numb isn’t right. Sometimes, you might feel like you don't understand what’s happening around you. You know things are going on, but you can’t figure out what exactly. Maybe you're tired or just unsure about what to do next.
You might wonder, What is happening to me? What am I feeling? At times, you feel done with yourself. You can’t decide what step to take, and it becomes too much. You may even stop enjoying the things you once loved. You get upset over small things, and unwanted thoughts show up. These thoughts ruin your mood, and you let them because you don’t know what to do. Instead of moving on, you end up overthinking.
But listen-accept yourself as a human being. You are not just made of bones, flesh, and organs. You also have emotions that you may not see but can definitely feel. You have a mind that wonders, thinks, feels, and learns from daily experiences.
You are not crazy.
You are not weird.
You are not useless.
You are not a mistake.
You are a normal person.
You are just human, with feelings and emotions.
It’s okay to feel nothing sometimes when life gets overwhelming. Don’t rush to judge yourself. Calm down first. Calling yourself names is easy when things feel out of control or when someone makes you feel bad.
But don’t do that. Take your time. Analyze the situation. Think carefully. Sitting quietly and calming yourself is better than thinking the worst about yourself.
You are a normal human being.
Accept yourself.
Understand your emotions.
Make better choices.
Take wiser decisions.
Stop thinking too negatively.
And above all-never call yourself hurtful names.
Accept yourself as a normal human being.
