Depression is such an ugly word. It’s as though you feel like your
Pressed down and you can go on. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. It’s a inward
fight daily to survive the thoughts that seem to try to take over our minds. To
push through, to keep on keeping on, when all you want to do is to curl up in
that bed of yours, and pull the covers over your head and escape the world outside
those 4 walls.
I had years of therapy, some were very good therapists, others not so
much. No one knows us better than those who suffer with this disease. I want
this blog to be as relatable as I can make it not just someone who has done research,
and trying to understand. That’s not the case at all, because im someone who
has lived with this, who dealt with this day in and day out and has come out on
the other side with a better understanding of the disease and who I’m and what
my triggers are. Who has learned healthy coping skills and boundaries to not
let stress get the best of me.
This blog
will take you into the mind of someone who has dealt with bipolar, who has a
passion to help others deal with it. I’ve found my reason to be happy. I
understand that when you suffer with Bipolar, your depressed and most of the
times, you don’t even know why, but we know it’s a chemical imbalance in our
brains, which in my next entry ill go into much more details. It’s learning to accept
what we can’t change, to not try to live up to everyone’s expectations. It’s
about growing and learning.
It
truly is a process, a very slow one at times. It’s about learning to have a new
perspective on life, because let’s be honest we see life through different
eyes. It’s about not focusing on what will bring me down, but keeping my eyes
focused on how far I’ve come, A journey of mountaintops and valleys, A journey that’s
brought me here to this point in my life. To a point I can encourage and offer
Hope to you, I used to look at depression as if I was pressed down, but now I see
it as I PRESS ON….I’m going to finish this race, and with Christ I WILL finish well!
