It’s been 10 months since I got diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I know, doesn’t seem like a long time. But for me, they have been the longest 10 months I have ever had. Because every morning I fought myself and had to remind myself that life was worth living and I went through the motions of the day once again. Now, I know this sounds depressing. And it is. Honestly, it was miserable. But I’ve been thinking recently and realized that it was a blessing in disguise. No. I’m not saying that I had a great time being depressed everyday. But I finally realized how much depression taught me. I’ve realized what impact others can have on people. I’ve realized what it feels like to be broken. I’ve realized what it feels like to be unwanted and rejected. I would have never felt those things as intensely without my depression. And I also now know that without others, I wouldn’t be here.
So I want to spread the message. I want to raise awareness to things like bullying and abuse, because those things are some of the things that MUST be changes to make the world a better place. Our world if full of inequality and social rejection. So many people every day are hurt by others. And I want to change that. But I can’t do it alone. Together we need to make the world a better place. Maybe with just little things like saying hello to a stranger or helping a neighbor load their vehicle. Saying something kind, or helping a friend. Something that makes the world better.
There will ALWAYS be people on this world that try to destroy people. But we don’t have to be those people. Just because someone once broke us doesn’t mean we have to do the same. We can change that. Millions of people get bullied every year. Thousands fall into depression. But we can try to prevent that. And I’m might sound crazy to some (I wouldn’t doubt it, i think I’m a bit crazy myself), but we can’t give up without a fight. What matters it that we tried to help others. We tried to make this world just a bit brighter because once upon a time, we wished someone tried to make OUR world just a little bit brighter. Let’s give back what we never had. Good luck!
