The past week has been tough. There’s no denying it. It has been so long since I have felt so low. Rest assured I have got the support I need to from the doctors.
It is very easy when you feel low to feel alone and lonely. Even if surrounded by people. This can be made more difficult if you are in a situation where those closest to you make you feel like the worst person in the world.
All I have to say to this is that goodness for friends. These are the ones I consider to be my family. The ones who do not judge and accept me for who I am. I will never apologise for being me. Even if some use my mental health as a weakness. While I know that when I’m at my lowest it can be difficult to be around me. I will never stop being grateful to those who check in with me and are there.
Depression at times can be my biggest strength as it reminds me that I have come so far and can face so many challenges. The road is always going to be long and bumpy but life would not be life if the road was short and straight.
As always stay safe and look after each other xx
