KEEP FIGHTING

I know — it hurts. There are many days where you are unable to
shut out your thoughts. There are days when being able to say you
survived is an achievement in itself. There are nights when it all
gets too much and you’re frustrated at how you’re unable to
explain what is going on within yourself. There are moments when
you know you’re still chained by the things in your past and you
hate yourself for still being affected by it all.
I know. I see you, I hear you, and what you are feeling is
valid. In fact, take the time you need to deal with it. Take that day
off or go on a day out if you are unable to muster the strength to go
on.
But don’t give up entirely. As difficult as things may be, know
that you have the power to work through it — or around it at least.
There may be events in our lives that have shaped who we are, to a
point that we are unable to detach ourselves from what has
happened. Here’s the truth: you can either wallow in the weight of
your depression, or you can fight for your life and make it a good
story. Take it step by step, day by day.
