Where to begin...

I am here bc I need as much insight as possible. I currently suffer from anxiety, depression, and stress. And it hasn’t been easy for the past week. More like, my whole life. I need people to talk to. My immediate family is my husband and kids and family as a kid is basically all I will have are my brothers. My mom is currently on her journey to join my dad with our Lord Jesus.

I just feel alone in my thoughts. At night, it’s when it’s worse. I currently attend counseling. One of the most annoying things I hear is that I “need to be strong” and “not to give up.” It’s all I have been doing for years upon years.

I need support. I need a shoulder to cry. Someone to hold my hand and say “everything will be ok in the end.” I need comfort. I need friends. I need family. I just need people in my life that actually care. I want to be there for others as well. It is through others that are lost and broken that I get more understanding from. There is so much ego running through my Mom’s side of the family. So much pain. So many unspoken truths that no one wants to face and hope they just disappear... I want to be free.

Everything will be ok but you got to make it ok you have to make your own happy anyway you can. And “need to be strong” or “not to give up” may be annoying especially after years but it is what we have to do it’s the only way fight and push forward in hope of better days.

First whatever you need to be happy is perfectly ok it doesn’t matter who the person is if it hurts you to be around them then they are toxic maybe it can be worked on but distance would help and second we all need to be a little selfish when it comes to mental heath doing the things that make us happy that get our head where it needs to be don’t forget about other people but never sacrifice your happy either
