Amok’ing

“The physical work I need to do doesn’t compare to the emotional work that’s needed right now though. Which is probably why I feel so drained because maintaining my mental health is a never ending task. There isn’t a day that I can take a break because my thoughts never shut off. And if I don’t manage them they run amok. …..I’ve given myself all the standard pep talks about how ‘God always gives the toughest assignments to His strongest’ and that ‘weeping only endures for a night’…and blah blah blah blah blah. But the truth is that this life is long and if I don’t keep my emotions in check it’ll feel like it’s even longer.“
