To deal with my mental health issues I decided to write out my feelings. Hopefully help me cope with all the obstacles I have dealt with through out my life.
I have been living with depression and anxiety for many years now. Since I lost my four kids to CPS for mistakes that I made in life. After I lost my only daughter and last baby my depression became worst. The lowest part of my life I turned to things that I regret. I’m working to make myself better everyday little by little. There are some days that is hard to get through because I miss my babies more than anything.
Depression and Anxiety are two of the most common mental health disorders that affect millions of people worldwide. These conditions can cast a long showdown over our lives makings it difficult to find joy and fulfillment. There are some days that you not even know how depressed I am because I try and hide it.
Depression is a pervasive sadness that can interfere with daily activities. It’s more than just feeling down it’s a persistent sense of hopelessness and despair. There are some days I don’t even get out of bed and sleep all day.
Anxiety is a normal human emotion, but when it becomes excessive or interferes with daily life it can be a sign of an anxiety disorder.
While there are many things that can cope with depression and anxiety.
Therapy
Medication
Lifestyle Changes
Support Groups
Mindfulness and meditation
Therapy had helped me a lot while I was going through all the CPS cases. Then I spoke with my doctor and he prescribed me with medication. The first medication had made my depression worse and my husband said I wasn’t the same person. I reached out to my doctor and was told to stop it immediately. The new medication I take helps me at times.
If you are or someone you know that is struggling with depression or anxiety. There is hope and you don’t have to go through this thing we call life alone. They are serious conditions but can be treatable. Just by understanding the signs, symptoms and coping strategies. We can take steps to improve our mental health and find the path to healing.
