Break the Cycle

I’ve finally bit the bullet and I’m starting therapy in a couple of weeks. I’m so, so tired of going around in circles with my mental health and I have slowly become more and more isolated. Quietly quitting on my business.

I had a panic attack a couple of weeks ago that freaked me out. I thought I was having a heart attack. I managed to get to my phone to check the symptoms to be sure.

It feels like it was a sign from my body saying ‘Kat, please. Please it really, really is time.’

I know what I need to be doing for my business but, I wasn’t taking the action. Honestly, it’s like i’ve been in a semi-permanent state of burnout for months.

Well i’ve come to end of my tether with it. There are things I want to do. Things I want to be in a position to receive, people I wish to support with their work.

It won’t happen until I work through my stuff and understand what (and who) can support me when the low moments come. It’s not about being solved, or healed but finding a deeper understanding of oneself and how to nurture my wellbeing. There is no way I can run my business the way I would like if I am not okay.

Can you relate? It seems like quite a few of my biz friends have been struggling too. So many outside factors raining down on our businesses, trying to stay positive and focused has been hella difficult.

It is strong boss moves to admit, and ask for the help and support you need. I implore you to try. You are the spine to your business. if you ain’t right, it will be super hard for you to run your business right.

Please find links to a couple of support groups below if you are thinking of seeing some support.

Be taking care out there okay.
