12 ways to handle your mental health

I find myself at times stuck in my thoughts and restless. My mind moving and stuck at the same time. Overload of responsibilities, Unorganized and overstressed. I don't realize until I lay down at night and can’t close my eyes, They appear to just keep opening. A night of tossing and turning completely distraught all through the night. Stuck in the past, lost in the future. I’ve learned that this is when I need to ground the most. My energy is out of me and my heart is missing me. While my mind is playing with me. As I begin to study myself fearlessly, it came to me that this is what I call mental imprisonment anxiety of the mind, a wounded masculine warrior deep inside.
