Lost

Do you ever feel like you are just wandering through life?  Do you feel like you have no purpose or path to follow down?  Many times we can find ourselves in this situation where you may feel that you have lost your way.  When we encounter this feeling it can be extremely difficult to get yourself out of it, not only can it be damaging to you but it can damage those around you.  Think about it for a second, when you are lost, do you have any motivation to find yourself again?  Do you sink further down and just want to fade away?  How hopeless do you feel...  Do you think that you will never find your way again?  Sometimes we seem to be in this state of perpetual sadness but you don't have to remain there forever.  The place where you are right now is not the place where you will end up.  Yes right now you may be lost in whatever situation you face, but you will eventually find your way.  Stop and think about how you ended up with that lost feeling.  Was there a specific time when you can remember your grip begin to slip and you fell into the state of thinking that you are experiencing now?  Sucks doesn't it?  It literally sucks the life out of you, sucks the joy from your veins and replaces it with negative emotions that only want to see you hurt and not see you succeed.  The journey out of this state is a pain, it is a struggle that many of us just wish to not fight.  It is much easier to just grow in this lost state than it is to find yourself once again.  Being lost is not a death sentence, you do not have to feel like you have failed just because you ended up here.  I think everyone at some point in their life feels this way.  But you have to start to find the courage to motivate yourself into changing your emotional state.  Yes things will come against you, things may get worse before they get better.  But let's face facts here, you know that you can do it.  Deep down inside of you there is a part of you that still wants to fight.  There is a light inside of you that is longing to defeat whatever darkness you are surrounded in now.  You still have the ability to change your future no matter how far gone you think you are.  You are never too lost to be found.

For today, try to discover what has put you here.  Why did you come to read this today?  Why take the time out of your day to read something that you may not care about?  Why read something from a person who does not know what you are facing, why read something from a person who you don't know.  But let's look at just that, you read this today.  You want to make a change somewhere in your life to keep reading these even when I ramble on and on.  Also for today, try to start to make a change so that you can let yourself be free again.  I'm not asking for the world here, just a little step so that you can prove to yourself that you can do it.  No one is too far lost that they can't be found.  You may think that no one can reach you where you are, but I promise someone somewhere has been there before.  Believe in yourself, you can never make a change unless you believe that you can do it.  I believe in you, but my belief may not be enough for you to start.  You can make your house a home, just have the courage and faith in yourself to over come anything that you may face.

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...
