It’s been a crazy few weeks. I have been going through many uncertainties
and they finally added up and brought me down! If you follow my blog, you know
I have talked about Depression and Anxiety many times before. It is a part of what
makes me whole, as strange as it sounds. It is part of my life and millions of
others. If I could change one thing in the world, I would change the stigma
that follows mental health. It doesn’t mean you’re crazy, doesn’t mean you are
weak. It simply means your battle in life is a little different than others,
but you are just as whole as any other person. I have recently been reminded of
something I once knew, and it got lost in the dark. I cannot control the fact
that I have Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Social
Anxiety. But I DO control my surroundings and how hard I want to fight against
them.
No one is going to fight the fight for me(you). I have plenty of
support, but ultimately, I (you) control my (your) success. When you have
Depression, it is so easy to fall into the darkness and give up on yourself.
When you are falling into that place, you must recognize it and be able to
overcome it. Allow yourself to feel, but then stand up and fight. If you stay
in the darkness too long, you lose sight of everything. As I was driving (where
I do most of my thinking) I realized something. ~Your dreams only become unimaginable
when you stop believing in them~
I was recently having a conversation with a friend who is going
through the motions of life and feeling down about certain things. And they asked,
“Why are we so broken?” My response “Because we are destined for something
magnificent and it’s not going to just be handed to us.” Sometimes I need to do
a better job listening to my own advice! (who am I kidding, don’t we all?)
The whole point of this post is to remind you that you are in
charge of your life, no matter what obstacles lay in front of you. It is your destiny
to overcome the trials and tribulations of your life so that you may reap your
glories.
So my friends, followers, here’s to not giving up and chasing
your dreams!
