I was sitting last night absolutely hating myself. That voice was back, telling me how I’m such a horrible person and people would be better off without me.
I had my first panic attack three years ago. I was 21 years old and I was living in my third homeless shelter. One of my abusers had tried to contact me.
Am I really still too ill to work? It will get to a point where I can only know by trying. Of course, the thought of trying is hugely anxiety-inducing.
Every day is different. Some days are harder fights than others, but understanding and care of our own minds is something we should never take for granted.
I didn’t want this | I didn’t choose it | I didn’t wake up and tell myself | Let’s be anxious | Let’s be depressed | Let’s end it all | I didn’t want this
