I am human and I’m flawed-perfectly imperfect! I make mistakes and I don’t always clean up behind myself. Many times, I deny myself the pleasures of life - busy being busy versus productive. Sometimes I cry and I don’t know why. It feels as though I’m on a roller coaster of emotions and I can’t breathe. This makes me feel ashamed and powerless because I can’t control my thoughts and emotions. Therefore, I don’t always give my best and apply myself. I don’t always build inner boundaries or understand how to respect those of others. Unfortunately, I don’t always impose discipline on myself because of my fear of failure. I don’t always think highly of myself because I have these uncontrollable feelings. I’m very hypercritical of myself so I don’t always trust my intuition or emotions. My mood changes often. I experience emotional highs and lows. There are moments when I feel hopeless and frustrated with myself. I feel like I could cry at any moment. Many times, it’s hard for me to describe my feelings. So, I isolate and shutdown. Yes, I suffer with depression and anxiety. For this reason, I fear being judged by my peers. Why? Because you see me as different, and you don’t understand mental health. Please hear my cry!! I’m not choosing to be depressed. I need you to become aware and try to understand that despite my mental state, I am NO different than you. I’m human!
May is mental health awareness month, show someone you care!
