Mark Duplass Instagram – An interesting phase of the mental health journey. My tools are working. I’m feeling much better! But part of this improvement involves a temporary denial of some of the heavy darkness so that I can focus on the light. This feels untruthful, but I need to turn away for a moment so I can get off the floor. But now that I’m on my feet (though still wobbly) can I afford to let the truth of the world’s darkness back in? I hold this image of a door, behind which are life’s hard truths. Sometimes I just need to close it for a bit. I can’t look in there. But now that I’m getting stronger, can I open it a bit? Stand next to it and let it be a part of my days without taking me down? That balance is hard to find. That’s what I’m working on. How much can I open that door, honor the truth of what’s behind it, and still hold the light.
I am sending you all a ten foot wave of hope. If you need help, it’s a click away. Call/text 988 to speak with someone 24/7. ❤️ | Posted on 05/Nov/2023 22:07:41
