When the Unexpected Diagnosis Struck

I had one of those dreams that felt so real, where everything seemed perfectly ordinary until suddenly, a doctor declared I had a mental illness.
Waking up from it left me unsettled more than sad.
It’s funny how our minds can twist simple thoughts into such heavy scenarios.
Sometimes, after a long day of household chores and running errands, I catch myself pondering health worries or small anxieties creeping in without reason.
Maybe it's nature's way to remind us to take better care of ourselves—both body and mind—even if just by taking deep breaths between folding laundry or savoring quiet moments with a cup of tea.
Life’s little stresses linger but sharing them here helps me feel less alone.
