So my last blog about depression I was very positive. I was on the uphill towards being healthy. But the thing about ups is that they are followed by downs. And this past week was honestly a huge down, maybe it was over socializing, maybe it was not having alone time, whatever triggered it doesn’t really matter. It was naive of me to think that I had “conquered” depression, and I paid for it. I started falling into old coping habits, isolating physically and mentally, pretending I was ok, and running to my phone. Despite my best efforts, people noticed. I once again had to go through the pain of explaining my issues. But this time was different, I was surrounded by people 24/7, people who wouldn’t take no for an answer. This time I was led to lean into Jesus. I heard Him fight for me and dispel the lies I told myself. The thing I was missing was a group that surrounds me and supports me always. So when the waves crash against me, I will be able to stand tall, with God and my brothers and sisters behind me.
