The importance of awareness
Greetings friends, you know that with all this pandemic, I have gone through an internal process of reflection and acceptance where I had to realize many things that by the hustle and bustle of everyday life I could not observe or perceive, at first I felt scared, overwhelmed, then my body and my mind were adapting to this new situation as usual in such situations.
It was at that moment when I began to realize many things perhaps hidden or dormant in me, in that moment of almost absolute stillness, when I could no longer find what to do at home, when my housekeeping chores were ready, I was alone with my mind and my darkest thoughts became present.
My biggest shadows surfaced in me, I did not know what was wrong with me, or why, days passed, then months and I could not find answers, I felt strange, my mind kept bombarding me with fatalistic thoughts, firstly related to the pandemic, then when my levels of anxiety about the covid-19 dropped, new catastrophic thoughts appeared, but this time related to my personal life, and finally I hit bottom, physical symptoms such as hypertension began to manifest.
Just at that moment I realized that I should seek professional help to find out what was wrong with me, I had several tests, everything was fine, my body was fine, there was no physical reason for my hypertensive crisis, then I was told that I should visit a psychologist and finally I had an answer, my mind was causing my physical discomfort.
It is important to be aware, listen to our body and the most basic thing is to seek professional help when we consider it necessary. A big hug friends.
