Not being ok-- and being Ok with it

I don't have to feel great or even ok all the time. While society and those around me feel the need to always try and fix me when I'm not feeling ok, I've learned to listen to my body rhythms of highs and lows. While learning to surf the highs and just lie down on my board during the lows. It is OK to not feel OK all the time. I used to panic everytime I felt low not knowing exactly what I thought had triggered my low-not understanding that while sometimes a very specific event will trigger a deep low, all waves go up and then crash down, in order for the next wave to rise up. I have learned the panic of the low does nothing to help you paddle through it, just paddle and wait for the next wave to carry you high, and learn to enjoy the lows to get to the highs.
