When you come out of the grips of a depression, there is an incredible relief, but your mind doesn't allow you to celebrate. Instead, the feeling of victory is replaced with anxiety that it will happen again, and with shame and vulnerability when you see how your illness affected your family, your work, everything left untouched while you struggled to survive. We come back to life thinner, paler, weaker … but as survivors. Survivors who wake to their friends and family being exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand. Last year that was me. After my mom passed away, I saw the world in black and white and fell down a dark hole that only hospitalisation could help. Thankfully, I asked for help. Today with help I found my smile again and can see the vibrant colors peaking through the darkness. I know depression is not something that can be cured or go away overnight. It's been a lifelong fight for me and many others. My goal is to keep going so I can see shades of colors that I never knew existed. We all need to remove the stigma of mental health. It's not a bad or shameful issue. Please ask for help. Remember, no one can deal with everything alone. #mentalhealthawareness #depressionawareness #nobaddaze (at No Bad Daze Chattanooga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYkTtm1JQZ6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our universe grants every soul a twin-a reflection of themselves -the kindred spirit – And no matter where they are or how far away they are from each other- even if they are in different dimensions, they will always find one another. This is destiny; this is love. Do you have a soulmate? Here's a pic of me with mine❤️ #soulmate #love #nobaddaze (at Chattanooga Choo Choo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYAqQMeNmVv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let your life reflect the faith you have in God. Fear nothing and pray about everything. Be strong, trust God's word, and trust the process #trusttheprocess #faithoverfear #bestrong #pray #NoBadDaze (at No Bad Daze Chattanooga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWiMdG7L1B1/?utm_medium=tumblr

The process of reinvention often begins with a sense of dissatisfaction. You feel something is going wrong in your life, but you don’t know exactly what would be right. It takes some self-discovery and reflection to discover what you really love and connect that with how to serve others to help define your purpose. The first step is to look inward and identifying your true self and the path that will bring you towards your ideal vision for your life. I truly believe that every person has a purpose in life. 🦋 #creatyourlife #creatabeautifullife #NoBadDaze (at No Bad Daze Chattanooga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWHR7Vp8N6/?utm_medium=tumblr
