Scared

So I must admit that I was quite wary to write this blog in the first place. Depression and anxiety have such strong, negative connotations, and I don't want those connotations labeled on me. But that is yet another reason that I am writing this blog - to help break down those prejudices and let people see the truth behind the lies.
It's a chemical imbalance. It's nothing that I have done wrong, it doesn't mean that I am crazy or weird. And I'm not the only one in this battle! You are not alone here. There are millions of people that struggle with these issues all over the world. There is so much help and support out there and  I hope that you use those resources.
It's not something that you can just 'get over' or push through. If you had cancer, you wouldn't just try to ignore it and you shouldn't do that with any mental infirmities either. It's an admittedly tough battle, but it really is worth it. That is something that I have realized over the past few weeks during my recovery from hitting the bottom.
One thing that I am going to do is write down things that make life worth living and then I'll put it on the blog. So you can look forward to that. I suggest that you do the same and comment with some of your answers. :)
