Sometimes it’s challenging to get out of bed in the morning, only to know you’re going through the motions rather than enjoying all that life has to offer. The fight against depression is a constant battle.
Sometimes the lows feel so low that it’s hard to remember you were ever happy.
Some days, you feel “fine” and don’t even know how much you’re masking the constant battle going on inside.
You know you should be happy about your health, your family, your friends, and your job. But some days it’s impossible to push past the dense fog that conceals just how good everything “should” be.
There could be months at a time that you can easily find happiness, see the good, and feel gratitude. And then in the next breath, turn around and have everything inside suddenly come crashing down.
Sometimes living is difficult, and some days you might be struggling to survive.
But there are people who love you, people who need you, people whose lives are made better by your presence.
There is always a light, even when it feels like you’re in the middle of a never-ending night.
There are days when I need to remind myself that fighting depression is just a part of me, it’s not all of me.
