I didn't need pills, i just need peace

Hello Hive Learners, happy weekend!
First, I noticed the contest was different this wasn’t what I expected, but anyway, it’s all good. The author’s choice of content works, and I decided to go with the flow and share something real.

There was a time in my life it been about three years or four years now when I was constantly tired. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I felt sick almost every other day body pain, headache, and no energy in fact it was prescribed a s a malaria I almost gave up The ghost. And to make it worse, I didn’t feel like myself anymore. Everything started to feel dull. Nothing excited me. I was losing interest in things I once enjoyed. I guess you could call it depression, or maybe I was just drained from life.

At the time, I was taking medications to deal with the sickness, but they honestly didn’t help. If anything, it felt like they made things worse. I was depending on pills, hoping they’d fix what I didn’t even fully understand. I kept going to the hospital, getting prescribed one thing after another, but the truth was it wasn’t working. The sickness was deeper than something medicine could reach.

The turning point started when I changed location maybe it was Edo State my state which I travelled to that made the difference. I can’t explain it fully, but something about leaving that old, stressful environment helped me start fresh. I left behind a lot of mental noise and heavy emotions. The place I had been living before was filled with pressure and negativity. I didn’t realize how much it was affecting me until I stepped away from it.

That move gave me room to breathe. I began to pray more. Not just as routine, but because I was honestly seeking peace. I also started taking sleep more seriously. I stopped forcing myself to stay up late and let myself rest properly. I began to reset my habits little things, nothing fancy but they slowly added up.

Over the next few months, I noticed that the constant sickness began to fade. I wasn’t feeling as heavy anymore. My energy came back bit by bit. I smiled more, and I didn’t feel like a prisoner in my own body. Something changed inside something no medication could’ve done.

Today, I feel different. I no longer enjoy being boxed in or feeling trapped. I need space. I need peace. And I fight to protect that every day now. My healing didn’t come from drugs it came from walking away from what was draining me and choosing something better.

If you’re reading this and going through something similar, just try changing something in your life. One thing. It doesn’t have to be big. Just move physically, emotionally, or spiritually, and give it time. You might be surprised what peace can do for you.

Thanks very much hive learners for these wonderful prompts..
