Broken Bones

Dear Lovelies, 

Broken bones. With broken bones you never question if that person needs to take time to let them heal and go see a doctor. The doctors and friends of that person are concerned for that person and want to make sure they heal quickly, without questioning if their bone is broken. 

They just trust that it is and believe that persons word. 

That is not how it is with depression. 

With depression people always ask "when you will get out of your funk?" or "how long does it last until it will go away?".

I wish that it was that easy. I wish that depression was just a phase and that it would go away but unfortunately it is not. Depression is a mental illness. That means that those who have it are sick and are always on the path to heal and get better. Medication's, exercise, and talking to others can help but it is a mental battle that is struggle throughout that persons life.

I do not know if this post is making sense but to those who understand this... I am here. I understand you. I am you. At this moment you have thoughts going through your head telling you that you are worthless. Do not let them take over. You know you are of worth. You know that you will accomplish your dreams. You know that you will make it to the next day.
You can do it.

 I want you to take a moment and focus on something that is your happy place. Take a deep breath and imagine that place and something you love about yourself. I know it is hard but please just think of at least of one thing. Why am I doing this? you may ask and the reason is because you are of worth and when you think bad about yourself... that is your depression.

I know it may seem unfair but that is life of someone with depression. Wait... are you still remembering to breath? Good, you are doing great and you're doing so good.

You are okay and you will be okay. 

Now lovelies, please get up and get out in the world. It needs you and your beautiful soul. 

Never forget that and never forget hope.

You are loved.
