Feeling the ups and downs

Hello all out there. There have been the times that I have felt good which has been quite often, but today I am feeling really sad. The struggle with anxiety and depression is real for me and I do get the periods where things are up and things are down. The motivation that drives me and keeps me going is the matter that a lot of the people that I have struck friendships and who I give my support to as well as them doing the same for me I do love very much and they love me right back. In those down periods I get scared that I should not exist and feel expendable but I know that from these people I would hurt them deeply if something did happen. Anyhow I do love the friendships I have forged as well as everyone of us who struggle each day. We are someone and expected in life, not a statistic.

The ups and downs are the worst for me. I feel like I loose a little bit of hope every time I go back down into the valley. But I know i am getting stronger every time. It just doesn’t feel very good. And I agree. Helping others is such a positive thing. Helps them and us too.
