I survived

What a daunting title, yes? Well, it's true, I did survive. Yea, ok, we got that part you say. But what exactly did I survive? Life.

Let me start by saying this, life is hard, well it can be for the majority of us. And Lord knows it's been hard for me. From anxiety, to depression, to neglect and abuse and ultimately, wanting and ready to end it all.

Damn that was a mouth-full.

I have suffered, yes suffered from anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. I didn't always know what exactly I was feeling but when I finally learned, baaaaaby let me tell you. Most people say I grew up kind of fast, I was mature for my age and though I didn't understand the situations that were effecting my life, I knew it was a lot of things going on that just weren't quite right!

When I finally understood my diagnosis of severe anxiety and major depression, I was in awe honestly. I am a black woman, we don't crumble, we rise to each and every occasion with our chins held up high (in public) and then we can cry in the shower (alone) at home while everyone is sleep. There was a lot of pressure on me (still is) and I just couldn't handle it all. So, I sought help. We'll talk about that in another post.

Raise your hand if you have mommy issues (raises hand). Let me tell you, again, you are not alone. Therapy. Counseling. Cry. Scream. Pray. Pray. Pray. Moving on.

Ladies let me tell you something, just because a "man" thinks your cute, doesn't mean he loves you. We'll talk ok?

I didn't want this post to be too long, but as you see we have some things to talk discuss.

Please reach out with any questions, concerns or comments. If anything pops up and you need help finding resources or need me to help out on your behalf, reach out.

I love you!
