Let me tell you a story about #depression
.
There once was a boy who thought the whole world was against him, whatever he did, wherever he looked it seemed that he was doing something wrong.
.
His past was dark, his future non existant, and his present #depressing, he was alive but he wasn’t really sure why, just to suffer ?
.
.
After considering it for a while he went to therapy, where he found out that all those things his mind were telling him were not completely true, .
Because of his education, or a genetic predisposition, or simply bad influences perhaps, all he could see were the bad things happening in his life,
.
He learned that he could write down his thoughts and try to decompose them, maybe everything is not his fault as he thinks, maybe some of it is, maybe everyone is not awful, just some actions of some people are.
.
The fact that he was writing down his thoughts and trying to analyze them logically, allowed him to take some perspective, and with that his thoughts started to change, and with it his emotions, and after that his actions.
Suddenly one day, after years in depression, The world wasn’t such an awful place.
.
That therapy that person did is called CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and everyone can learn it.
.
That boy is a good friend of mine, and that was his story, what’s yours ?

Calling all of you ladies who suffer from anxiety/depression- you are NOT alone and it does NOT define you.
I have suffered from (mostly anxiety) my whole life and trust me when I say it is not something to be taken lightly. There have been days where I have not wanted to leave the house because I’m too anxious, days I avoid social outings because I know how it’ll make me feel, and times where I just wanted to hide in a hole.
Although this is super hard to open up about, I’m going to do it. I have turned to alcohol (mainly wine) in times I am anxious and depressed and let me be the one to say, it only makes things worse.
Lately I have been turning to wine more than ever and it stops now. I am only hurting myself, my relationships, and my health. This is NOT the solution and I know there are healthier options out there.
I will be exercising more, really toning into my nutrition, drinking tons of water (and green tea my new favorite) and diving into personal development.
I need to stay on track and my fitness family truly made me realize what is important on my team call tonight. I need to work on myself l now in order to be the best future version of myself.
If you feel like I do at all or relate in any way to this post, please reach out to me. We can talk and maybe we will even be able to find a solution specific to your needs!
Don’t ever feel alone in this, millions of people are diagnosed (some even not diagnosed) with anxiety and depression on a daily basis. Let’s beat the stigma together! ❤️
And you what good deed have you done this week ? .

Repost from @mentalhealthquotess
I think this is one of the quirkiest human traits, melancholy
.
We all remember fondly the memories of our youth, the happy times where it was all fun and no responsibilities
.
But how true is that ? .
Did you know that your memory is actually one of the worst form of storage that exists
.
We assimilate memories best when they are linked to a powerful emotion, that’s why we remember vividly traumatic events, as well as events of great joy
.
That’s why you’ll always remember your first time, because it’s highly emotional .
Problem is every time we recall a memory we add a spin to it made by our current state of emotions
.
So what was a nice memory, when you recall it on a day where you feel awful might become an even nicer memory by way of the comparison you apply, or become an awful memory .
So don’t be misguided, yes you probably had amazing moments in your childhood, but they might be vastly distorted by the lens of memory .
So stay hopeful, it’s possible that times were better before, but it doesn’t that it cannot become great again .
Stay strong .

To anyone who considered #suicide in 2018:
Thank you for staying. Thank you for fighting. Please don’t give up. There is still hope. It would not be easier for us if you were not here. If you were not here, you would be missed. Please reach out. Please find help. Please speak up. Scary things lose their power over you when you talk about them.
Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park, sitting with his son and laughing as they taste different Jelly Belly candies.
.
The video, taken just the day before Bennington took his life, was posted by his wife last month on her Twitter account to show the world that depression has no face.
.
This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death. He loved us SO much & we loved him,” Talinda Bennington said in her caption.
.
The juxtaposition of Bennington enjoying a fatherly moment with ending his life 36 hours later doesn’t jibe with what most people think of when they think of a person who is depressed
.
Depression doesn’t carry one type of face.
.
Key symptoms of depression include feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness, or hopelessness.
.
Other symptoms show up as angry outbursts, loss of interest in normal activities, sleep disturbances, tiredness, and anxiety.
.
What people need to understand is that these common symptoms will differ in how they manifest
Depression is not the same for everyone, .
How did/ does it affect you ?
