Anxiety. Depression. The structure of just those two words sounds so simple; Alas, they are anything but simple.
Anxiety. Like a monster, it claws at your insides with no mercy. Depression. It leaves you numb to life, it's like jumping into a...

AWAKE AND ALIVE: SKILLET
I'm at war with the world and they Try to pull me into the dark I struggle to find my faith As I'm slippin' from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake And my strength is fading fast You breathe into me at last
[Chorus] I'm awake I'm alive Now I know what I believe inside Now it's my time I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life here (right here), right now (right now) I'll stand my ground and never back down I know what I believe inside I'm awake and I'm alive
I'm at war with the world cause I Ain't never gonna sell my soul I've already made up my mind No matter what I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak And I feel like giving in You breathe into me again
[Chorus] I'm awake I'm alive Now I know what I believe inside Now it's my time I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life here (right here), right now (right now) I'll stand my ground and never back down I know what I believe inside I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up Waking up waking up Waking up waking up Waking up waking up
In the dark I can feel you in my sleep In your arms I feel you breathe into me Forever hold this heart that I will give to you Forever I will live for you
[Chorus] I'm awake I'm alive Now I know what I believe inside Now it's my time I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life here (right here), right now (right now) I'll stand my ground and never back down I know what I believe inside I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up Waking up waking up Waking up waking up Waking up waking up
Close your eyes. Are they closed? Good. Now I need you to go back to the darkest point of your life. How does it make you feel? Pain? Sorrow? Grievance? Regrets? Maybe even a little anger? You know how it feels to be always mentally on the run, your inner demons nip at your heels as you run through an abyss of darkness. Add all of this up in your mind. Pain, sorrow, fear, whatever! Once you've done this, you can relate to how it feels to be in my shoes. Rather, my dingy black and white Converse shoes. This is the story of a depressed, shy, awkward 15-year-old girl who learns to let the sun shine in her life. That's me. Florence. Florence Miller. And I'm awake. I'm awake and alive.

Author Note:
Hello everyone! I'm very proud to be debuting on Wattpad with a story that I hope will be AMAZING. I'm making it because I myself have some pretty serious depression issues, so this book is based on the ways I have felt in real life. See, I don't always think that you have to hurt yourself or be suicidal to have serious depression. In any circumstance, every case, every SINGLE case of depression and anxiety causes what? Pain. You don't have to be in deep doo-doo to have a hard time in life. Oh! Yeah! You see the artwork at the top? That is mine! .^_^. I really love being an artist as well as being an author. So I ask that you do not use the picture under any circumstances without my permission. I also ask that you go easy on me since this is my first Wattpad story. I'll be uploading first drafts, so there will be typos and such. Anywho, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it!
P.S. My schedule might not allow for constant updates, so sometimes it might take a while. Thank you for your patience!
Penny for your thoughts?
Would you mind sharing some of your ideas and experiences with depression and anxiety? But please, if it is hard for you to speak about it, then say no more, you don't have to say a word. :) Just share if you are comfortable with it. Please don't comment saying you are uncomfortable, just don't say anything. No harm. No foul.
