Warrior Number Five

​"I feel as though my story has my mental health issues stem from my physical health issues. I used to be the kid that loved life, and everybody in it, what it had to offer. I'm not to sure how much I love it anymore. My life got turned upside down just shortly after I turned 17. Now i can hardly do any of the things I used to love to do, and the things I can do come with a great deal of pain and or discomfort. Now I feel like I can't be around the people I love, I feel like I can't talk to any one of them. It makes it a little bit harder when more than half of your friends or family doesn't believe the pain you're in, or how much of your daily life gets affected. I am tired of feeling like a disappointment to my friends and family, if they could only understand that healing takes time. I've been dealing with depression for a couple years now! I keep it hidden and wrapped in a hard shell for nobody to see, but it's there, and I plan on beating it. I know it's going to be a long hard climb and I'm going to lose people in my life that don't understand that. I just though I would share a little bit of my story with you."
