Guess what? You made it. You made it through another day, and today, is a good day. You feel that emotion you don’t always trust: happiness.
Look at you, you’re smiling as you write out this letter. Just a little, a hint, but it’s there.
You feel calm, peace. Steady. Your mind isn’t criticizing you. Your body doesn’t feel numb. Your skin no long has that itchy feeling. The ache in your bones is gone.
You feel calm, peace. Steady. Your mind isn’t criticizing you. Your body doesn’t feel numb. Your skin no long has that itchy feeling. The ache in your bones is gone.
You can simply
Be.
The Anxiety that crept into your mind, froze your body, and made you sure that you couldn’t do it has retreated back into the dark hole it came from.
The Depression that threatened to take over your entire body and rip you apart, making you care less about everything of importance has been banished.
It’s been replaced by hope. By love.
By simply knowing that you’re worthy.
That you are enough
That you deserve to feel
To feel loved
To feel happiness
So yeah, you did it. And when Anxiety comes back, you’ll fight again. And again. And again.
Depression? Yeah, you’ll kick it’s butt too. Because you already have.
Depression and Anxiety don’t stand a chance against you.
Why?
Because you know what you have to do to beat them. Their games are old and tired; you’ll destroy whatever they try to throw at you.
Remember:
You’re smart.
You’re brave.
You’re a warrior.
And you will survive.
Because you have already won this battle before
and you will again.
and you will again.
