Stay for those who care

Stay for those who care.... I recently heard that in a song lyric (once again music speaks volumes for me) and it got me thinking. How many of us have just let go and have given in? How many people have just turned around and walked away from the battle for their happiness? How many people have left this world knowing that they were loved, but never believed it? One can say that it's easy to just throw in the towel and be done with it, most of the time depression can hold your head under water, and make it seem as if it would be easier to let go and give up... But what so you gain from letting go? Nothing really, you no longer get to be part of a world that yes at times is filled with darkness but there are still many bright spots to be proud of.  Many of you who read this may think to yourself that what do I know about the struggle of every day or what struggle you face, but I am here to tell you that if you stay for those who care, you will start to see the world in a new light, you will begin to know love and happiness again. Yes our minds can play tricks on us and yes I have not posted in a while ( more like 2 months), but here I am putting it out on the table yet again in hopes that someone somewhere will read this and begin to rethink their situation.

OK so I started with stay for those who care, but I'm going to finish with the rest of that lyric: "I'll make it worth it". You are given one life, one chance to make the world around you a better place, never let your depression stand in your way of being who you want to be.  You are worth it, you are exactly what someone in this world needs, yes times get tough and things may not go out way but stay strong friend and know that you are surrounded by those who care and want to get the best out of you.

From the Outside

Have you ever heard the phrase: "from the outside everything may look fine", or some other variation.  Many times I feel that people only see what they want to on the outside and not get to know the person you really are.  I know that times I really feel judged and like an outsider but once you get to know me your opinion may change.  However in today's society it is much easier to keep to yourself and not be put in situations where people may get to know you.  A lot of times when I am around certain groups of people, I immediately feel like I am being judged as the weird person or the quiet one.  Many times I have been told that I am too quite and for me that is a defense that I set up for myself.  I often times struggle with small talk and will just end up saying something really awkward...  It happens for often than not, even with people that I know.  Lord knows I hate it when that happens, I tend to think about it the rest of the day and kick...

Be A Man

Many times I wonder what I can write about that would be uplifting to someone who battles the same things that I do.  A lot of times I want to repeat what I have already written and it is tough coming up with something new to say.  I feel like a lot of times we always hear "oh be a man" or "You'll be fine".  But a lot of times it is tougher than expected to do what others give you advice about.  I find that mental health in individuals who has anxiety and depression is important to me and I don't want you to just "be a man" or "you'll be ok", I truly want you to be ok with who you are and what this journey has taught you.  I was recently trying to explain what anxiety was to me and I found it tough.  I found it tough to express what exactly it is that I feel on a given day.  It was a struggle to explain the emotions that I feel when I have entered into a public place or am put into a situation where I know that I have to face my demo...

Believing is Seeing

"I'll give you everything that I've got left, follow you down and give you my last breath".  ~ Gideon. Many times I struggle with self worth and thinking that I am not up to anyone's standards.  Recently an opportunity has presented itself to me and I can't seem to get out of my own way.  I feel as if I am not good enough to do this new challenge, I feel like I can't live up to the expectation that has been set forth.  I seem myself as less than everyone and that is a serious struggle for me and really is the cause of most of my depression and anxieties.  I often times when in a group setting, think that people are looking at me like I am weird or something to that effect.  I feel as if people see me in a different light than who I truly am.  Once you get to know me, I promise it is worth your time :).  I am an introvert who doesn't like crowds or speaking to new people, but lately I have been trying to push past those barriers.  I recentl...
