Darkest Edges of my Mind
Suffering with both depression and anxiety has been one of the most difficult things I have had to deal with in my life, anxiety making me dread being around people or going into public, but depression making me feel absolutely alone and just wanting someone to be with me so I don't feel never-ending loneliness. Finding ways to cope with two illnesses that are the opposite of the other has been a nightmare, just a constant internal battle, me vs me, me against my own mind... I think to myself, "This isn't fair," but I know that I am not the only one who struggles with this battle. To see how many people struggle with anxiety and depression, or similar mental illnesses, is honestly sad, sad because so many people have to deal with their own mind as their enemy, among so many other things that go on in life, having your mind against you makes it hard to even get through the simplest things.
