Depressed

When will it get easier?

By Megan GodbeyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Honestly tired of 2023 already. Bad news after bad news constantly. About ready to give in. I turn 30 next month, can’t afford necessities, bills are behind, no one is hiring even when they post it.

Kids need new clothes, food is too high, expenses are outrageous. I am honestly over it. My depression and anxiety are in overdrive. I am so overwhelmed with everything. I just wanna sit and cry.

But I see their smiles, hear their laughs, watching them grow, and I have to hold on. Because no one will love them like I do. So I’ll hold on for them. They are my anchors in this life, no matter how much I want to let go.
