No puedo más. ¿Cuántas veces ha pasado esta frase por tu cabeza últimamente?

If this is something your inner voice is often telling you, you’re likely going through a hard time in your life.

Maybe you’re heartbroken, betrayed by a loved one, disappointed, or just scared or anxious about what tomorrow will bring you.

Whatever the case, you’ve hit your breaking point and you don’t see a way out.

You feel like your only option is to completely give up because you just can’t take it anymore, as much as you try.

Well, you’ve come to the right place because you are about to read some inspiring things that will help you get through this tough ordeal and help alleviate your bad feelings.

I’m no psychotherapist, but I’ve been through my fair share of bad days where all I could think to myself was I just can’t take it anymore – where I just wanted to give up.

Necesitaba desesperadamente un estímulo y alguien que me despertara de mi pesadilla personal.

Pero de lo que no me di cuenta en aquel momento fue de que sólo necesitaba respirar hondo, ordenar mis pensamientos y empezar a pensar en how I can transform my I can’t take it anymore attitude into a How can I find a way to fix this attitude.

And that’s when I realized a few things that I’m about to share with you.

It’s okay to feel like this

The first thing you need to remember is that you are not weak for feeling like you can’t take it anymore.

No es necesario que reprimir sus emociones or run away from them, pretending that everything is okay when clearly it isn’t.

It doesn’t mean that you should let this feeling define you. You shouldn’t let it consume you completely, but you ought to accept it.

Nunca te culpes por sentirte abrumado, porque todo forma parte de la vida.

Sólo demuestra que eres un ser humano, hecho de carne y hueso. En lugar de juzgarte, tómatelo con calma y date un respiro.

There isn’t a single person who hasn’t thought I can’t take it anymore at some point in their life.

There isn’t a single person who hasn’t struggled with their bad feelings and anxiety. It’s necessary to embrace it.

We’re all just human. And we’re all still alive, aren’t we? So what does that tell you? It tells you that you have survived every single one of your bad days and came out on top!

Quite amazing, right? And just like then, you’re going to get through this one day at a time. No pressure, no self-imposed judgment, no rush.

You’ll get there when you get there.

Go through your ordeal and fight it every step of the way until you’ve crossed it off your list.

Deja de compararte con los demás

Otra cosa que deberías dejar de hacer cada vez que tengas ganas de tirar la toalla es compararte con los demás.

Even though everyone seems like they’re happy and have their shit together at all times, trust me that the truth is quite different, because things aren’t usually the way they appear.

Forget about social media – it doesn’t represent the way someone’s life really is.

After all, start with yourself – you’ll only post pictures or videos of yourself when you’re having a good time.

You probably don’t share your breakdowns with the rest of the world. Just remember that we all fight our own battles and struggle with our inner demons, even when we don’t show them to others.

You don’t have it worse than everyone around you – it only appears as such.

Así que en lugar de fijarte en las personas que te rodean y dejar que determinen tu valor, céntrate en ti mismo.

Centrarse en convertirse en el la mejor versión de ti mismo and don’t ever try being someone else.

Next time you start feeling like you can’t take it anymore, remind yourself that at least half the people you know are likely going through the exact same thing.

What’s important in these bad days is to be in the present moment. Don’t let your mind take you further than you need to go.

Deal with your current issues and not those that you’ve recovered from. It’s easy to wallow in misery, but one bad thing doesn’t equal a bad life.

Never let your mind fool you into thinking that it’s worse than it actually is.

It’s tough out there for everyone. You just do you and find the thing that helps you keep going.

This won’t last forever

Everything that you’re going through right now is only temporary. This pain and the dissatisfaction you might be feeling are not permanent and won’t last forever.

I know you’re convinced that you’ll never heal, that you’ll spend the rest of your life trapped in this never-ending circle of negative emotions.

You are desperate and hopeless, and don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Pero te aseguro que llegará. Piensa en todas las veces que lo has pasado peor que hoy.

¿Y qué pasó? Todo siempre se solucionaba de una forma u otra, ¿no?

Has sobrevivido a todas tus dificultades y has conseguido resolver todos tus problemas.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here today, would you? Think about all the times you had it better than today as well. Those times will come again, I can assure you.

Remind yourself of every single time you thought it couldn’t get better anymore. What happened? It always did. Things always improved and your perspective on things changed.

And all that’s because during our struggles, we don’t think clearly. Things always appear much more complex than they actually are.

I’m telling you, you will overcome this obstacle just like you’ve done numerous times before.

Ten un poco de fe en ti mismo.

El tiempo lo cura todo

I know you’ve heard this one a million times before, but it really is the truth.

Even if you don’t think this way now, all wounds will heal sooner or later. You just have to give it enough time.

You’ve broken off a relación duradera you were convinced would last a lifetime? You’re in the middle of a family crisis or having career problems?

A loved one has let you go and you’re feeling inconsolable and blindsided? Either way, the point is that you feel like you’ve hit a brick wall.

You feel like you are stuck and don’t see a way out. And not only that, it’s like your emotional pain has become physical.

You’re anxious and depressed all the time, convinced that this state will never go away.

Bueno, déjame decirte una cosa: Sea cual sea el motivo de tu corazón roto, tarde o temprano sanarás.

Todo en la vida pasa, incluso lo malo, y ningún dolor emocional es permanente.

El tiempo hace maravillas con un corazón roto. No importa quién lo rompió ni cuántas veces. No importan las circunstancias.

The way you’re feeling now is nowhere close to how much better you’ll be feeling in one single week. And can you imagine what a whole month might do to your soul?

Este mal día se olvidará como si nunca hubiera ocurrido. Este sabor agrio en tu boca se lavará y la felicidad futura superará tus dificultades actuales.

Right now, you might think to yourself I can’t take it anymore, but you’d be surprised what the future might bring.

Realmente mejora, sólo ten fe.

Here’s another cheesy line you’ve heard a great many times, but it’s something you need to be reminded of every time you feel like you can’t take it anymore.

Things will get better, I promise you that. I can’t tell you exactly how or when, but a resolution to whatever you are facing now will come when you least expect it.

Ten fe y cree en ti mismo. Recuerda, lo que reflejas es lo que atraes.

Así que en lugar de dejar que todos estos pensamientos negativos te consuman por completo, haz todo lo posible por pensar en positivo, aunque en este momento te parezca imposible.

Reprograme su mentalidad e introduzca el optimismo en su vida.

Incluso cuando sientas que estás en lo más bajo, ten fe en un mañana mejor porque eso te dará la fortaleza mental necesitas levantarte de todo esto.

Cuando te quedes atascado en un pensamiento negativo, intenta encontrar una razón para ser feliz en ese mismo momento.

It doesn’t have to be anything big, just something that’ll show you that there are indeed things to be happy about.

Maybe it’s the fact that your family is happy and healthy. Maybe you just adopted a pet from a shelter and it’s keeping you on your toes in the best way possible.

Whatever it is, there’s always a reason to smile. Choose to fight your misery with forceful optimism.

That way, you’re likely to start feeling more hopeful, despite how difficult it may seem.

Eres lo suficientemente fuerte para manejar esto

Repeat after me: I am strong. I am powerful. I can do this. There’s nothing and there’s nobody who can conquer me. I will heal. I will survive. Seré mejor y encontraré el camino de la salvación.

No, this is not just some useless mantra and it’s anything but bullshit.

I know you don’t see it now, but you really are strong enough to handle whatever is bringing you down.

This is nothing more than a test of your strength. And you’re about to pass it. Haven’t you always conquered your fears and come out stronger for it?

Haven’t you always looked your misery in the eye and beat it, knowing your perseverance is stronger than anything else?

That’s right. You’re a warrior, a fighter.

And as long as you keep fighting and never let your shitty days overcome you, it’ll be okay. I’ve got a feeling that there’s so much more to you than you are even aware.

And every single challenge shows you that this is true. Trouble can keep coming, but you’ll just keep knocking it down and coming out on top.

Un día, todo esto será sólo una lección...

Whenever you wonder why you have to go through all of this when you clearly didn’t do anything to deserve this heartache, remember that everything in life really does happen for a reason and a bigger cause.

And this rough patch you’re going through right now serves to teach you a valuable lesson.

Puede que aprendas a apartar de tu vida a algunas personas tóxicas. O la importancia del amor propio.

You might learn to finally see your own worth and everything you’re capable of.

Sea como fuere, lo cierto es que un día mirará este periodo desde la distancia y se sentirá agradecido de que haya sucedido.

You’ll be proud of each one of your emotional scars because you’ll see that all the pain you’ve experienced shaped you into becoming the person you are today.

One day, you’ll be happier than you ever imagined being.

And when that day comes, you’ll appreciate that happiness because you’ll know that you had to walk through the dark to reach the stars.

And you’ll see that all of this was worth it.

After all is said and done, you’ll be proud of everything you’ve achieved because nothing ever came easy.

Cada uno de tus logros y cada una de las lecciones que aprendiste se consiguieron a través de un viaje difícil y lleno de baches.

And if that journey has taught you anything, it’s that you’re strong, tenacious, capable, and worthy.

If trouble comes knocking, you’ve got it covered.

Now, after having endured a lot and having been to hell and back, you know there’s nothing else that can surprise you.

And this thing you’re going through now is going to be another notch under your belt.

Another mission accomplished and tragedy avoided. Don’t sell yourself short.

You’re way more resourceful and powerful than you give yourself credit for.

You’ve got this and you will survive. And one day, in a not so distant future, you’ll marvel at your ability to endure so much and never lose sight of who you are.

And that’s what life’s all about. You go through the motions but never lose yourself in the process.

And if you ask me, that’s a sign of a strong-as-hell person who can handle anything life throws at them and come out the other side stronger than ever.
