To Be Depressed

2017's Like A Hot Mess

So it's time for my obligatory new year update!

Sorry for the lack of updates over this past year, but I have a lot of drafts for this book I just haven't posted anything yet. I shall resume posting in the new year though, don't worry!

A lot happened this year... I hardly know where to begin!

2017 was the year after what can only be described as the worst year of my life.

I had lost the majority of my friends, was fighting with my support system and battling my own mind.

I was alone.

And then I looked around me.

It took most of the year, but with a kick from people who care about me I sat up and took notice.

I do have friends.

I don't have to wallow in depression.

I don't have to cut.

I can fight my eating disorder.

I can work with my anxiety.

I can try new things.

I am okay on my own.

I don't have to be alone.

I am in control of my own life.

I am a real human being who exists in this world just like everyone else.

And it will be hard.

And sometimes I will feel like I want to die.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to anymore.

I can survive.

And I will.

And so will all of you.

Because I believe in you.

I'll support you.

I'm here for you.

We can do this. Together.

I wish you all the best in the new year. It won't be easy. It's going to hurt sometimes. Maybe most of the time. But we will make it through 2018 together. Like we always do.

Happy New Year
