I want to thank everybody who has said kind words. I also want to say that i'm very sorry for those who understand what i'm going through.Because I wouldn't wish this on anybody.
I'm so grateful that I have a huge support system and that I also have the courage to share my struggles with pure strangers online. Most of all, I'm just glad that I'm able to share this part of me with you guys and for the most part, have positive feedback.
I sometimes struggle within myself and don't speak about the deafening depression that makes me cry in silence when nobody is looking. Yet I always keep putting one foot in front of the other in hopes that one day my kids will see that it's worth fighting through the tough times.
I don't post this because I want sympathy and I don't post this because I want somebody to fix my problems. I post this because I know i'm not the only one who struggles in silence.
Some might look at me and think that I have such a happy life and I do. I'm so blessed. But I have my moments of deep depression that makes me not even wanna get out of bed. I have struggled with this since I was a child. especially as a teenager. Sometimes it lasts a week, sometimes a month, sometimes months on end.
It's not good to struggle in silence and i'm practicing the best I can on how to open up about it, to those that I know love me and want to support me. As I've gotten older, I have also learned how to maneuver through the depression alot better and can typically help it not last as long.
If you are struggling, just know you're not alone and please don't struggle in silence. This world doesn't make it easy, but staying silent makes it worse. Reach out to someone close if that helps or a stranger if that helps. We have to help each other realized that it shouldn't be taboo to talk about the ugly moments in life along with the good ones.
