Depression & Anxiety. We are not alone

Many of you don't know, but I have been battling with Depression and Anxiety these last few months. On my journey I have met many amazing people who have been suffering for years and I want to reach out to them and anyone else who may be feeling alone.
(for my 2020 update, scroll down)

I wrote some words for myself to help me be motivated on my "bad days" and I thought it may help you too. You may have heard some of these phrases before 😊🙏
The "poem' is read at 7.19.
But here it is in writing too incase you want to send it to a friend in need...

Enough is Enough.

You decide how this story ends.

Don’t live by chance, live by choice.

People can be weak. People can give up.

People can accept defeat and even live a life on the street.

But not you.

Enough is Enough.

Get up. (Just Show Up)

Take back control. You have the power.

It’s easy to give up, it’s easy to give in.

But you were raised with strength, compassion, ambition, Love.

Make changes, not excuses. I believe in you.

Enough is Enough.

Weakness is a decision. So decide to be brave again.

Be fearless. Be honest. Be YOU.

You are enough and YOU deserve to be Happy.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2020:
Well turns out I had Post traumatic stress and after neither counselling or drugs helped, I managed to finally get CBT free with IAPT! There I was taught exercises to help me get through day to day life, I also faced my trauma head on. (CBT doesn't work for everyone but with over 300 types of therapy out there, there will be one suitable for you).
Now I am in my 2nd year of uni studying Contemporary Psychotherapy at Beeleaf and it is the best decision I made in a long while. The course has taught me so much scientifically about my depression but also exercises to improve my life daily which have really helped me claim my life back.

I would change my lyrics above from "Get up" to "Show up". It is the first step.

Please don't be afraid to ask for help, you are worth it no matter who you are, or your background. Please contact me if you need someone to listen to you. You are not alone. xxx
