bad head days are about surviving - ugly real talks about bad mental health days

I spoke completely with passion and also anger to some extent. I am sick of being told that on bad mental health days, we should do X, Y, and Z??!!! I think the harsh and actual reality is - no, We exist. We survive. We do the path of least resistance in order to simply make it through. Is it giving up? Allowing your day to be swallowed? I think again, the reality of someone who actually suffers from anxiety or depression will understand that; our heads do rule us (sometimes). And we have to sit with it. Because we don't always have the strength to fight, move, get up, and try and make ourselves feel better. That's NOT the reality. I am real talking about what bad head days can be vs what your self-care days may look like.
