You aren’t the only one.

Millions are going through deep waters. Just. Like. You

You aren’t alone my friend.

In fact I am right here with you, I am going through some stuff myself, dealing with thoughts that push me and tug me around in my head and sometimes

I ask myself, why am I still here? Why am I still breathing? I believe in God and I believe he wants me here still. I still breathe in air, so he must want me living here.

Yes it’s not easy, never has been, though I have a pretty simple and good life I do deal with so much trash in my mind that just goes on and on and on until I choose to do something.

Sometimes it leads me to considering suicide, other times it drags me into doing something creative like taking photos or even writing blogs, and like many others listening to music till my pain drowns. It takes a while for pain to drown because pain already knows pain and it’s used to all of it so therefore it’s easy for pain to get out of it because pain simply =s pain.

So how do you make it out of this hard season you ask begging for answers.

While I’m not a social worker or a doctor or anything like that I have stepped into the deep end of depression multiple times and know what it’s like.
