Reason #1
You should live because music is great, if you die, you wont be able to blast your favorite song and dance around to it all night.

Thank you for sharing such a profound and heartfelt post, and for spreading awareness. Sending gentle hugs and spoons your way โจ๐๐ฅ๐โจ #Repost @living_notjustexisting ใปใปใป Another #pin , this one was custom made by @chronicallydivine in green for me. I bought one for @francogetsflex so we could be matchy matchy. Anyone battling with their mental health I believe are warriors. We battle daily with a world wind of emotions daily. We battle with our mind and our body simultaneously. I read somewhere that #depression "is living in a body that wants to live, with a mind that wants to die" and it struck a cords. If you've not battled it, can you truly understand the strength of a person fighting that? We have people making comments implying or blatantly saying we are lazy, moany, irritable, angry, negative, we need to be strong, or comments like "that's life" totally rubbishing how you feel. If you just did this you'd feel better. I have #pdd #dysthymia which a lot of people don't know or fail to read into it, as you are seen to be "functioning" or "hide it well" the truth is it feels like a life sentence at times. People also can have #majordepression on top of it #doubledepression . Two different forms of depression, two different sets of emotions, fears, sadness. Double the sadness and emptiness. I've been in this state for a year and a half but I am working hard to be free of the major depression episode. I'm working hard to get my #anxietydisorder and #panicdisorder under more control. So I can begin to try and live the most normal life I can. I'm not lazy - there are 1000 things I want to do, I'm not weak, negative or irritable. I am fighting battles you can not see. But for the most part, I'm winning! #depressionawareness #mentalhealth #depressionwontwin #depressionwarrior #mentalhealthawareness #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #dontgiveup #youmatter #mentalillness #mentalhealthwarrior #breakthestigma #stigmakills #supportlocalbusiness #dontliveinsilence #panicdisorder #keepgoing #campaignagainstlivingmiserably #depressionisreal #mentalhealthwarrior

Sticks and stones may break my bones but I AM THE ONLY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN HEALING JOURNEY to restore my relationship with love. โฃ โฃ Blaming and shaming was my old subconscious ammunition to avoid taking responsibility of how I played a part in the demise of the relationship. โฃ โฃ Freedom comes when I became radically honest with the fact I was the common denominator in my failed relationships. โฃ โฃ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ โ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉโ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐, ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฎ. โฃ โฃ ๐๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช๐จ๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐ค๐ช๐ก๐๐ช๐ก ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐.โฃ ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ญ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ท๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐! โฃ โค๏ธ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐จ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ!โฃ LINKโฃ IN BIO!๐ (And pass this on!) โฃ. . .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ #takeresponsibility #depressionwontwin #fromselfdestructiontoselflove #ignitethelightwithin #forgiveness #proverbs31woman #spiritualalchemy #soberevolution #motivationalcoach #hipstermom #nondiet #inspiredwomen #feeltoheal #forgiveandforget #holisticmedicine #healingjourney #radicalacceptance #mindingmybusiness #thankyourself #sacredsisterhood #sakredshesisterhood #traumarelease #sobrietyrocks #divinemasculinerising #spiritualgrowthjourney #sel๏ฌmprovement #tripadvisors #leadershipcoach #womensupportingwomen #healingemotions @the.know.women (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5nfCSMvik/?igshid=16seqarew26pi

I know it's not like a lot but oh boy I'm so happy I've been able to write even that much for one thing! I'm so happy for ever word I've pieced together and ever small doodle I've made recently. Art in any shape was something that I've clung to so hard it hurts but writing especially has always been a different kind of hard for me. But seeing the word count slowly crawl up is uplifting in unimaginable ways for me! I feel like I'm finally moving past that funk I was in and beyond that I'm finally moving past things I didn't know I needed to, so I'll set my sights high plan for NaNoWriMo and Inktober, I'll watch my doodles grow and my words count climb and I will learn what it feels like to breathe again but this time on my own! #latenightthoughts #writinglife #depressionwontwin

Sometimes smiling is the hardest thing I could ever do but those rare days, those once in a blue moon days, I smile with ease and remember I am not my mental illnessess. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #depressionsucks #smile #smilingagain #depressionwontwin #mentalillness #alwayskeepfighting (at Michigan)

A year ago, I didnโt expect to be where I am now. This reoccurring thought surfaces annually like a birthday. Who I spend time with no longer impacts me, despite having loved vigorously (or lost drastically) - my only fear was always change. These days, Iโve learned to embrace it simply because more often than not, we arenโt given much choice but also because I've seen it can still all hurt the same when you never move forward. It winds down to feeling like doing whatโs scared me most has led to the moments, the lovers, the achievements that make this life graceful. Even though Iโve been met with my own personal fears, having endured such overwhelming situations has enlightened me greatly and this forever reminds me to push beyond my boundaries. I believe Iโve always had a different way of loving... itโs a nice change to realize you finally love yourself.ย

A little known fact about myself is the fact that I've battled depression my entire life and that's not to say I haven't had an immense amount of love in my day to day life, it's just that I've endured a lot of pain to accompany the happiness. I've been on the streets, I've been cheated on, used and discarded. I've lost friends to fleeting choices and unfortunate circumstances. I've let a lot of people down in the 24 years I've walked this Earth and it gets to be daunting after awhile. I'm extremely grateful to be able to write this of my own volition and wake up every single one of the 8,760 mornings I have. But the point is my inner demons have been with me even when I was at my lowest point and when you're at your wits end, they make valid points. I've made it a point to reach out and talk to people in an attempt to alleviate any misgivings I have. My closest friends always comment on how "I know everyone." But the question I always ask myself is how many people truly know me? I write this to show people that depression can reach the most vibrant people and you would never be able to tell I was depressed by a glance. Music has been my antidote to my depression for years. I'm learning everyday how to better love myself and my reflection. It's not easy but I have no intention in quitting just please be patient with me. I implore all of my friends battling depression to keep your head up and move forward one step at a time. It gets better I promise and if you ever feel alone and need someone to talk to, I'm just a message away. Youโ are not a burden and you are loved. I love you all. Stay golden. #depressionwontwin #keepfighting #youareasurvivor #mydepressiondoesntdefineme
