DEPRESSION/EMOTIONS

Trying Not to Wallow in Self-Pity Is Getting the Best of Me

I hate writing this message

Dear Wonderful friends and followers.

I am sorry.

But I am falling apart.

Before I went to Africa for ten days, I received a painful emotional blow.

I tried to put it out of my mind on my trip, but it affected me greatly.

I could barely eat or sleep.

That was a bummer on such a wonderful trip, and I tried not to let my pain ruin it completely.

And I faked many smiles and enthusiasm to not drag down the other four travelers in my group, including my brother.

We were together almost 24/7 for the whole ten days.

Now that I’m home, I am dealing with that hurt daily.

I’m not doing well.

I have no creativity or desire to write about my adventures in Kenya.

However, I have so many stories to tell.

The other three people on our tour had varied personalities, and we had some crazy, fun, and tense times as a group.
