Just today, I had a mental breakdown. I felt the red light from all of my actions. Most times, when I get things done, I always feel down and regretful of those actions. They are the right thing for me to do, but I don't see myself in the right sense of doing those things.
Down to making up this post, I should have done this hours before now, but I just felt imbalanced to have my head think straight as to what to do next.
I came to a halt, it was like the world paused on my end. I decided to let the worst happen. I chose not to care, even after all, things will go on fine in my absence.
There was a heavy wind that took off all of the covering I used on my ponds. And then all the water and fries in the pond got so dirty with sand, dust, and dirt.
I was about to start putting things back in place, then I realized that I am just wasting my efforts, only if I should just let go of it, rest my brain, and think about a way forward to what's giving me a hard time living on.
There are some burdens I have engaged in, maybe that's what's making me feel so heavy every time I get things done. I have to figure it out. Only if it were to be some physical things, then it would have been a fair game where I could just shuffle and gamble on what the problem is. But now I have to deal with a lot of things unseen and scattered in my mental being.
Is it about my personal life? Financial sustainability? Workplace? Families?? Friendship? Where exactly is the heavy burden coming from?
I picked the very closest one, which was my workplace. I felt it was so heavy on me, I have been engaging myself so much recently. Maybe I should call it an overdo! I have gone way beyond what my capabilities could hold.
I have always had this financial backup, a fund set aside for emergencies in case I encounter things that go beyond my present situation at work. I will battle it silently with those funds, then refund them when I strike a balance.
I have been used to this system. But a few weeks ago. I exhausted all of those backups. So I can say I am left empty all alone.
That was the first burden, but it's not something I can fight; the real burden was the preparation I am trying to make for another breeding. I don't have what it takes to handle them in the long run. I had all my hopes of the imaginary future ahead of me, hoping that I would strike a balance no matter what.
This evening, after I relaxed, got back to settle all of those things, the wind scattered, put things in place, calculated my loss, then I went to discard the preparation I had for the breeding. I think that was something that has been a burden on me.
With immediate effect, after taking it off my mind that any breeding is till further notice, I got my head free. I felt the ease from stress, I realized I was set free from the chains of burden and unsettlement. I hope I still get to free myself more and maintain a balance with my mental state.

Yes, it's like that at times, but our ability to keep moving and overcome the tumultuous moment is what matters. You are handling it so well. Everything will be fine in no time.
Thanks so much for the piece of encouragement. Well appreciated
