Topic: depression
i wish i could say that my week away was all the surgery i needed, but that would not be true. Perhaps my "aha" moment is to come. Perhaps there is no moment, just the slow and difficult journey through our stories, and those million dollar questions, "What do I do with my pain?" and "How do I let go?"
"No matter the source, your pain is valid. And you deserve to feel as if your body and mind are yours."
"Here’s the truth: You’re the protagonist of your life. You decide the supporting cast. You decide which thoughts you give importance to. You make the choices."
"For the first time in months, I was happy to be alive."
"So now you’re going on to new things, new adventures, and new sets of numbers you’ll use to quantify your impact on the world."
"Fight for the next good day and hold onto the hope that the next good day will be the one that greets you in the morning."
"If you are battling your own dark nights, if you feel that longing, please think about the weight of that empty chair."
"Being too prideful to reach out for help gets you nowhere as I soon discovered when I first started suffering from anxiety."
"I stay alive because I want to give the future a chance."
"I’m about 4 years late to apologizing for myself. I’m a decade late to explaining myself. And I’m a lifetime late to forgiving myself."
"Loneliness dances with the skeletons in my closet and tries to call me closer. He brings Depression over for a slumber party, and they play charades with my insecurities."
"Wherever you are, however long you've been part of our story, we hope you find reason to celebrate today."
