Depression Can Happen

 Well here we are, back at it again.  I know that a lot of times in life, situations get hard.  You get down on yourself and feel like you are not enough.  I experience that quite often within my daily walk of life.  I know that most people out there doubt their abilities and dreams.  I know that a lot of times we have this brick wall that stares us in the face, daring us to try to move past it.  But what if we did move around the wall?  What would be on the other side of that wall?  Would it be another wall?  Would it be a place that you have always wanted to reach?  Well the answer to that could be difficult, sometimes we move past one wall and smack right into another one.  We often times get stuck where we are and accept that as the reality we live in.  I know that I have gained a lot of weight recently and when my daughter saw me going down a slip and slide - she yelled out "here comes a big boy!".  Admittedly I laughed hard at that, but inside I already knew what I look

 I hate therapy....  But I hate myself less because of it.  That's it, that's the post. Until next time!

 Did you know that the majority of suicides in the US are committed by men?  Growing up I never thought much about men having mental health issues.  But as I progressed in life I began to put the pieces together of my life and just how long I have been sufferings for with my own battles.  Too many times we are told (as men) to wipe the tears from your eyes...  Men don't cry...  I know that past generations have had different standards of dealing with mental health and the stigmas attached to them, however I am proud of my millennials and Gen Z's who are making mental issues a prominent topic of discussion.  Too many men and women walk around today struggling.  Struggling to get out of bed that morning, struggling to go to the job that they dislike.  Struggling while smiling so that they don't burden others with their issues.  How many people do you know if your life that are struggling?  If you knew all of the individuals that struggled that come and go from your life on a

 Life:  We never fully get to where we want to be.  We always seem to want something more even in the best of circumstances.  As the events of the month have unfolded, I am reminded by just how lucky we are.  I often times get lost in the details in life and tend to fall behind by bogging myself down with minor details.  I know that times get tough for us, we often times find ourselves in situations where we may not see an end in sight.  But looking at the recent events that have happened in the world so far, I can comfortably say that if you are reading this, than you are quite lucky.  I do not know what you are going through and I am just a guy on the internet that is typing a bunch of nonsense, but I do know that life is what we make of it.  Often times when I feel down or feel like my dreams may never come to pass and the hope starts to leave, I listen to this (warning, if you are offended by language, then don't listen.):   Little Miss Sunshine .  In this particular scene, the

 Life...  With all the things that we face during the day, life can be a daunting task.  Every single day we face new challenges that want to break us.  We are faced with some odds that may seem like we will never be able to overcome them.  No matter who you are, everyone struggle and suffer...  But everyone always has a story to tell.  We have all had to go through something to be here today.  Life is a blessing each day that you wake up.  Think about it this way, someone did not make it through the day today...  Every second of every damn day someone passes away.  Someone did not make it to the next minute....  Do you think they would like to have the moments back that they lacked self esteem and did not accomplish what they wanted to do in this life?  I would imagine that they and everyone who fell before them would take just one more day to see what they can accomplish.  It is extremely easy to fall backwards in life instead of falling forward.  It is easy that when we get in ruts

 Well it has certainly been a while....  Almost a year, give or take a couple of months.  Over the last year, we as a society have been through hell and back, then back through hell and then back out, so on and so on.  It seems like this never ending cycle of bad things.  Many of you may still be in a lockdown situation, or if you live in America, never really went into one.  It was around March of 2020 that I decided that I didn't care anymore about my weight, that I was just going to eat whatever I wanted and didn't think about the consequences of putting in my mouth whatever kind of food I desired.  That is how I coped with the pandemic...  By eating my feelings.  Whenever I would see something bad or something bad would happen around me, it was as if I rewarded myself with a bad food....  At the time I could push out whatever bad thing happened for a short time because I was happy eating whatever I could.  At this rate, there wasn't much that set me apart mentally from
