For people with depression and anxiety there is a certain time of day, usually just before sleep takes you off to the land of Nod, when your body is tired from work and your mind is weak from social interaction, that every bad decision, hard choice, difficult loss and debilitating heartache you’ve ever experienced begins to creep into your conscious thought and attempts to convince you that you’re worthless.
I call it the drowning hour because it feels like you are immersed in tank full of ice cold self-hatred and burning regret and every time you gasp for a breath of air it feels as if fear is filling your lungs with self-doubt.
Don’t believe any of it.
It’s simply a changing of the guard. Close your eyes and remember that you are better than any of the things that went wrong in the past because you survived and learned from all of it; the good, the bad and the horrendous.
When you wake up in the morning you will have a brand new day filled with infinite possibilities to achieve excellence.
