• DEPRESSION. SOCIAL ANXIETY. IRRATIONAL FEARS. MOOD DISORDERS. Just a few of the things I know I’ve allowed to “run my day” in the past (and sometimes even still). • It can be nearly impossible to get out of bed; a monumental task. Those who do not know what mental illness is like - can or even imagine this weight in your shoulders, this anvil on your chest, these demons sitting next to you, holding your hand while they whisper to you, “you’re no good, you’re a piece of shit, why bother?, don’t get up, take those pills, it’s all your fault, all you do is fail, you’re a fucking loser but it’s okay because we’re here to help you cope” and so you “cope” by doing nothing because your mind convinced you that you ARE nothing. You see, those “demons” are manifestations of your mind, and if you’ve reached a state of psychosis they’ve even become tangible - you can truly hear and SEE them, but know this now, they are NOT REAL, they are liars, they are pure evil using black magic on an innocent soul. Do not let them win. Do not let them in. • #fightlikehell #slayyourdemons #findinnerpeace #runyourday #destroyyourlimits #lettinggo have #selfawareness #empower yourself with effective #copingskills #educateyourself #mindbodyandsoul that is the ONLY way to #overcomedepression #overcomeobstacles #overcomefear #thereisnootherway Trust me, I’ve tried it all. I fight and battle and continue to do every day, because what they don’t tell you is that it doesn’t just go away. It’s like a cancer. It could go into remission, or it may come and go like the ebb and flow of the tide (Everyone is different), but we’re the same in one ☝🏻 way, we have to fight daily. As soon as I open my eyes I have to fight urges that mentally healthy people who not even believe. EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. And I’ll be honest with you, some days? Some days I do not win the battle. But I’m not ready to wave the white flag in this WAR. I’m playing the long game, I have this one life (that I’m aware of) and I’m going to battle for every minute of it. Will you? #mentalhealthawareness
