Depression - I'll Get There

Paused

Am I losing that drive? Who am I without it? Am I going to have the will and energy to claw my way back? Or am I just going to buckle and become an empty person that's just living without a reason...

Depression

The Burden

What if I start feeling better? I wasted all that time feeling so terrible, I could have been so much more if only I got help sooner...

Depression

All I can do

I hope trying is enough because sometimes that's all I can do.

Anxiety

Backslide

How do I feel like me again? Why did this even happen? When will I get out? Will I ever... get out?

Depression

Betrayed by logic

How the hell do I calm the anxiety when it has solid, strong roots in reality.

Depression

Chaos

I feel like I can only speak to myself in vagueness. Because I can't understand my feelings... or maybe I understand them and just don't want them. I don't always like my feelings but that doesn't stop them from being there.

Depression

Holiday Depression

This year I didn't feel like putting on a fake festive attitude. Because I didn't feel it. I didn't want to feel it... And that's okay right?

Depression

What is Normal Anyway?

Growing up I was not the typical girl. I loved video games, watching super hero cartoons, power rangers; I hated pink and dresses. I did love my stuffed animals and playing with some of that doll house stuff that I had. I wasn't that different. I didn't think I was anyway.

Depression

Positive Eeyore

When it comes to life I try not to get focused on the things that can go well. Instead I focus on what can go wrong. Not because I like being negative, though.

Depression

Impact of Early Life

Maybe I've been depressed longer than I realized. Did I not want to make friends? Did I enjoy being alone? Was I trying to avoiding the pain that comes with knowing you'll not see that friend again? Did I really think I wasn't worth their time?

Anxiety

That One Day I Met Myself

We catch glimpses of our reflection every day. But have you ever looked into a mirror and seen through it? Seen who you really were, and not just who your depression tells you you are?

Depression

Thoughts are Just Thoughts

Sometimes a thought is just a thought. Until you act on it, it doesn't have to mean anything. Thoughts come and go, but action is forever.

Depression

My Life is My Message

Gandhi once said: "My Life is My Message". If my life is my message, what is my life saying?
