Hi everyone!

As you can tell by this photo, I struggle a lot with depression and anxiety. It first developed when I was picked on and isolated a WHOLE lot in school. It went on from fifth grade all the way to senior year of high school, senior year being the worst out of all of them. Since starting college, life on the outside has been getting MUCH better, but life on the inside is still facing effects from all the years of bullying and isolation. Since then, I've gone to a good amount of therapy and was diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety, and have been prescribed to take Wellbutrin and Lexapro to help with it. While I've definitely improved a whole lot over time, part of me is still insecure and self conscious around other people. Part of me still doesn't understand how everyone's lives around me seem to be so great while mine isn't (and social media definitely amplifies the feeling). There have been times where I've put on a super confident mask, but deep down inside I'm not the most confident person. I constantly wonder, "Why me out of all people?" "Am I doing something wrong?" "What do I have to do to get these people to like me?" etc. I'm not talking about this for a pity party, because I'm going to be fine, really I am. I'm talking about it 1) to show that I am a human, and 2) if you've also struggled with mental health, please know that you are not alone. You're NEVER alone. That's why I always put in my closer that if you haven't been doing well, you are still loved. Don't ever be ashamed of finding someone you trust and talking to them about your struggles. It can be a family member, a close friend, and especially a therapist (I'm open too if you don't have any of those). Also, therapy and medication are NOTHING to be ashamed of! It's all there to help you live a healthier and happier life! It's helped me a WHOLE lot. I still have a long way of mental healing to go, but I'm very grateful to be on this journey of healing and cleansing. I hope you are too.
