Hey guys, this is a new blog about my mental health dealing with Halloween. Halloween is fun, and awesome, oh Holidays. I love Holidays, so why not… Do you know what I mean? I love helping out or doing stuff like cooking for the Holidays but I prefer just relaxing, watching TV, and enjoying life as it is. Life is short and I just need time to relax. Growing up, on Halloween, I would have a Halloween parade at my school and sometimes I would forget a part of my costume (cute, right) then I go home, do my homework, get my costume on, and go trick-or-treating at night with my brothers, my cousin, a friend like a neighbor, or just by myself so yeah. I remember I used to wait for my cousin and my aunt to show up so we could go get candy together. Yummy, I love candy such as Kit Kats, snickers, butterfingers, Twix, or any yummy candy. Yes. There was one candy I didn’t like which was “pop rocks”. I remember I ate one time before I went to church and I didn’t like it. I was sick but yeah. Ever since that day I just didn’t eat one so that’s interesting. But I want to type about my mental health about Halloween. After I graduated high school, I remember I would dress up myself and put on makeup or whatever. I even hosted a Halloween party which was so much fun but I just sometimes with my mental health I couldn’t deal with the energy around me cause it was just tense a little bit and I wanted to just relax, eat leftover candy from the bowl whatever was left, and watch a Halloween movie nothing scary or anything. So I get tense out like will people like this party? Did I add too many or less decorations? My head was overthinking that day and I was just like “Think positive, breathe in and out”. I have a hard time when I just need someone to help me when I don’t feel good sometimes because I never know what life will take me. I can have a bad day or a great day, it all depends on how I feel, trust me. Mhm. What usually helps me is going for a walk, listening to music, taking a nice bath, watching a funny movie, or something like that. That is because my brain is either racing or not I hope you understand. So I have to stay calm and relax and remember I am going to be okay at the end of the day but yeah. During COVID-19, I was afraid that I would get COVID and I stayed home a lot cleaning the house, praying that I didn’t get the virus, and trying to keep moving forward in life. So I didn’t do anything much for Halloween and everything seemed very quiet and just too dark for me. I wanted like something fun like going out to a Halloween event we do such as the witches’ ball or something like that but everything was closed so unfortunately. I had a few friends come over but I rather not have people come over due to COVID. I am glad I didn’t get it. I realized that Halloween was nt meant for me anymore and I had to try to think about other stuff like finding a new job?, or finding a safe place so I wouldn’t get the virus. or something like that. My brain is a what-if type of person so I never knew what life was going to take me. I basically gave up on Halloween which was sad and as a kid I loved Halloween. In 2021, I went to a Halloween party and it was fun but I prefer staying home I am glad I got my booster and vaccinations updated, right, I was so happy yes I was proud of myself. I was happy I went to a friend’s party too and got out of the house, yay! (Smile) Last year in 2022, I had to put down a cat and I was very lonely, I am glad my best friend came over and helped me out but it was the hardest thing ever and I just wanted to heal from the pain. I had to learn to hide my tears which is so weird and hard at the same time. On Halloween every year, I usually pass out candy, dress up, and enjoy the day and we usually eat pizza or anything good, I don’t know, ha, usually. We get a lot of trick-or-treaters and sometimes we have to turn everything off so the trick-or-treaters don’t come and I feel bad but yeah. Like doing something that is hard and easy and that’s not meant for me no, especially mentally, no. I like to do one thing at a time but I try so yeah. Hey, at least I try to do everything at once like multitask which I do remember typing about it once but yeah. Halloween is meant to be fun and exciting. I even remember last year I saw a horror movie and it traumatized me to the point where I just didn’t like Horror movies anymore. I don’t mind horror movies it just takes time to process all that in my mind and like I said everything takes time. Sometimes Halloween is scary in real life and I don’t like that at all. This is why I like Thanksgiving or Christmas or even Easter better, but yeah, hmm? I want nice stuff like good candy, good friends, and good nature around me so I can be able to relax and enjoy myself, exactly. Well, I hope you guys enjoy what I wrote about Halloween and my mental health so yeah. I tried to explain “How do I survive my mental health with Halloween ?”!! :D <3
