Notes

Everyday for nearly two years I've smiled when I was dying inside. I've joked when everything inside me settled in a thousand pieces rising up only when anxiety choked it back to the surface. I've given words of motivation to others when I was literally looking over the edge praying for the courage to jump. I've worn so many masks that I still haven't gotten down to my shattered original face. I won't tell you all I've done to help me to cope, I can't cause I don't really know. I don't think of the anxieties of this day and leave the others for their days I put all my mental energy into the mantra, "You can't fall cause you won't get back up this time." I pray and God feeds me spiritually what I need to make it not to the next hurdle, obstacle, moment, step, day, or minute but the NEXT BREATH. I convince myself daily that I'm unworthy of redemption. That the nothingness that I am isn't worthy of anybody. I'm struggling but I know it. If everyday you wear the mask of I'm okay and you are not you're not fooling anyone especially the ones of us also wearing the masks...welcome to our group. #masks #nothingness #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #coping #Notes #welcome

It’s okay to not feel okay today or any other day. Although some days are more difficult than others, check in with yourself and write, be creative. Writing notes has saved me from feeling trapped and voiceless and can help you too. Write a note to remind yourself that you can get through whatever you are going through.

Thank you to everyone who shared and commented last week or this week. You are brave and amazing.

Remember that you are filled with purpose and worth. Your power is immense and you can achieve all that you believe you can. Your voice and story are important. There is only one of you and your voice is one of a kind.

Keep writing notes!
