Depression
It has taken me a long time to even admit I have depression. I have always been that strong person who denies there is anything wrong. Because if I don't acknowledge there is a problem, it goes away right? I thought that if I could plaster that smile on my face, grin and move on, that meant there wasn't anything wrong with me. I was fine.

Existence
Existence What is truly the point? What does existence really even mean? Have you ever had something actually change you inside your soul? Something so traumatic so dark that you live your life differently? Hiding in the shadows, lurking in the depths of darkness so that you don’t have to interact with society? I have….I do…This is not existing - this in my opinion is not life. Let me tell you – living without sunshine in your life will kill you faster than a bullet.

Why won't you heal?
6 years ago, almost to the day I was diagnosed but when will it end? You can have days, weeks, months or even years go by thinking you are fine, thinking you are healed and then as sudden as a lightening bolt hits the sky you begin feeling an invisible pain that is an un-welcome yet known guest haunting every thought.

Identity Crisis
Throughout life you pick up tiny bits of wisdom, here and there. Some you disregard, others stick to you like those prickly things that cling to your pants when you walk through the woods. Though you may try, it seems you cannot get rid of them. One of those bits of wisdom that has been clinging to me recently is JUST BE YOURSELF.

You don’t ever get over it, you get through it!!!
CHAPTER ONE It’s like I’m falling, but there is nothing at the bottom. I feel like someone shot me with a shotgun. I wake up almost everyday with this constant sadness that I can’t explain to even myself. Like a bad dream, you can’t wake up from no matter how hard you try. I try to be strong. But sometimes you can’t hold the weight. Sometimes you just have to let it fall and let go? Do you ever feel like you don’t mean anything in the world? Like you are dust? Well. I have. Ever feel like you’re alone but you’re surrounded by people? Me? Everyday. I don’t understand myself or my own feelings. How can you make someone understand how you feel when you don’t even know what these are yourself? I feel like I’ve lost myself. A void that can’t be filled because you don’t understand what is missing? I feel like that everyday. I love my life and my kids, I love my family more then anything! Anything in this world. Some I wish they would have kept me in their hearts but honestly they can’t imagine what I went through and how I feel. And I’ve learned a hard lesson in life. No matter how badly you want someone to stay, if they don’t want to, no matter what you say or do they will do what their heart wants, not yours. And that is one of the hardest things to accept.
