    I don't really want to write a long thing about my back and forth feelings or any of that. I just want to say that sometimes, when I really just can't get out of my own head, I genuinely feel like I'm going a little crazy. Like, everything about my life feels so out of sorts. And it wasn't like this before about a year ago. I used to be happy all the time, or at least that's how I remember it. Being easy going and generally more functional. And now, I feel like it doesn't take a lot to get me feeling bad/sad/mad/etc. And I don't like that feeling one bit.

    Yep. Today I freaking lost it. Went from happy to sad to angry to productive to a sloth then cried and sent four emotional texts to four different people. Full out crazy today. It sucked.

    I do know how you feel, and I've felt crazy so many times.

    Isn't everyone just a bit crazy????

    From my experience, such emotions can be used as a catalyst to actually help provide clarity for yourself. Almost like an out of body experience, try and take a step back away from yourself and look from the outside in as to what is driving those thoughts.

    It might take a minute, an hour, a day a week, or whatever, but embrace it as a catalyst propelling you to finally come to terms with yourself.

    So in reality, your not crazy, its just your minds way of highlighting the need for you to find peace.
