Unbroken

To those who suffer from depression and anxiety;

Some know all too well of the inner hell that is severe depression and anxiety. Some days it hurts just to wake up and find that you survived the night. Some days you just want to cry and you can't stop yourself but that's ok because sometimes crying helps you make it through. You just feel so alone like you're the only one in the world who's ever felt this way, that no one understands. But you're not alone. No matter how alone you may feel, there are others, and people who can sympathize. The struggle is real. Being diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression It was sheer terror for me when antidepressants were mentioned. I felt that I had to take them just to feel 'normal' like everyone else. I felt that they would change me. But someone told me once, "it's just a prescription. Like a person needs glasses, or a diabetic needs their insulin, this is no different. It's just a prescription." No matter how broken you feel, it will be ok. Just because your brain doesn't produce as much serotonin as everyone else's, so what. Just because you constantly worry about things to the point of shaking, so what. You're human. Not a one of us in this world is perfect, and it's your flaws that make you beautiful and who you are. I worried that people would leave because of my condition at the time and some did. But the beautiful part: it meant they never should have been there in the first place. If they can't handle you at the worst they do NOT deserve you at your best. Everyone has their troubles. So never think your broken, because honey to me, it's beautiful.<3
