Many of you may know that I struggle with mental illness. I battle with anxiety and depression. I have been in some pretty dark places, and have grappled with the thought of taking my own life. Ultimately, what kept me here was guilt. The guilt of thinking about the poor person who would have to find me, and tell my loved ones. I couldnt do that to the people who have supported me through the tough times, they deserve to see me at the best times. NOW I am in a much better place. Thanks to routine, healthy diet, medication, support from family and friends, and the biggest thing - attitude. I wanted to crawl out of that dark hole and after counseling, classes and group therapy, getting a job and eating better I AM HERE, and so thankful. I am thankful for my parents and family for always supporting me. My best friends that that truly must be the most understanding people in the entire world. My Boyfriend Zac who gets me better than I get myself, and my employer, who tolerates my sick days, and probably should have fired me by now - but I am so thankful to have in my life. Without the understanding of these people, I wouldnt be in such an amazing place right now. Anyone feeling down, or like they cant do anything right, take a few deep breaths and find someone to talk to. Talk to me if you need to, I will listen.
