The Best That You Can Be

This is me.  These are my writings.  My nine year struggle – and continuous struggle – with mental illness.  So many years lost; almost a grieving process for me now.  But I am back on my feet – a working girl now – away from hospital conditioning and in a large corporate world.  I semi-fit in, although difficult most times trying to win back the self-confidence and self-esteem that I possessed long ago.  Not a crutch, but stigma stands in my way at times.

In one of my posts I term myself “thankful and lucky”, and really, I am.  We all learn something throughout our lives, unfortunately the waves aren’t always calm.  I sat in a corner too, too long in a state of very deep depression, wishing my life away – actually praying for my demise.  Some days I still wish I was there in that corner, but no, I will trudge on, take my meds that are finally working for me and do the best that I can.

I hope I can inspire anybody reading this.  Take good care.
