The hole

It snuck up on you. You were going about your normal daily life, then one day you realized that something was off. Sure, you have had off days before and you would give it a day or sleep it off. Not this time. It’s been weeks now. You feel like you are in a hole. There is a heaviness to it. It is not just affecting you now and how you perceive yourself, it is influencing your relationships, your job, it dampens your interests in things you used to enjoy. You don’t recognize yourself; you want to return to the old you.

You are not alone. We can work together to pull yourself out of this hole. To reconnect with yourself and regain control of your headspace. First, we need to understand the pressures, the experiences, the pain, the discontentment that brought you here. Then we can stick our two feet in the ground, stand tall, shoulders back and climb out.

“your life is your life

don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.

be on the watch.

there are ways out.

there is a light somewhere.

it may not be much light but

it beats the darkness.

be on the watch.

the gods will offer you chances.

know them.

take them.

you can't beat death but

you can beat death in life, sometimes.

and the more often you learn to do it,

the more light there will be.

your life is your life.

know it while you have it.

you are marvelous

the gods wait to delight

in you.”

-Charles Bukowski
