Thank you for sharing your story. i am trying so hard to beat this darn depression. it's been almost a year now, my life has gone down hill, but somehow I seem to hang on to school. I'm in my 4th semester now, at age 40, I've struggled most of my life by negative influences, men, dirty dogs. i've dedicated the rest of my life in to empowering the lives of other woman who are struggling with drug addiction, homelessness, and prostition. places where I have found myself in the past with no hope. I used to to be a huge inspiration to many woman in the highest drug area in my city, the things I once told other woman, I am unable to tell myself. With negativity and racing thoughts impacting my life and choices, I am willing to do anything to beat this depression. i have recently found myself able to listen to myself and realize that this is not me, my head tells me that I am unable, incapable, not worthy, when I know damn well, I am so capable of twice as much as any average person, I am great, and that if anyone on this earth is strong enough, if would be me. I tell myself loudly, that this is bull crap, and I am tired of my crap, and I continue to fight, why allow my brain, and other negative influences guide my steps and determine my future. Depression is difficult to pull out of, just like a bad dream, it's hard to wake yourself out of sleep, but it's possible. Anyone experiencing depression, can take a good look at thier thoughts, and evaluate wether these are unrealistic negativity, is this really you? how much longer are you going to allow depression win the fight going on your brain? I am just not willing to allow depression to steal my happiness. I am not willing to allow depression to affect the people I love any longer, and rob me of the quality time and love that they all deserve. I am great, and I am strong, depression can take a back seat for today, for the moment, and hopefully for a lifetime. today I will take that walk. today I will smile, today I will not cry. because I am a woman, and I am worth it. I am a fighter, and i am a winner. Stand up to your depression and face it in the mirror. If I can do it, so can you. thank You to all woman sharing thier experiences that tell me that I am not alone, and tell me what helps. i hope you have a great day, and less unrealistic sadness.
