The Struggle

Becoming_Jaie

Depression
On our journey, we lose sight of the progress we have made and often focus on how far there is still to go. So many of us are struggling with more than our weight.

Monday night I lost a dearly loved friend and family member to suicide. This loss has thrown my heart in a blender. I've lost track of my goals and I have slid into bad habits. I've spent the week trying to understand his grief. I can't.

We've all gone through so much. We've all had the worst day of our lives and to be honest, we've had many more than one.

This too shall pass

Lovelies. I don't know, I can't know, how you hurt. I don't know, I can't know, how your circumstance and situation effects you. But I do know that it gets better. You have to work, and gods know I understand the struggle that just trying can be on a person, but it will get better. Talk to someone. Even if it's a stranger. Even if it's on a computer, or a phone app. Please, please ask for help. Lean on your MFP community for support when you struggle, even if it's more than just your weight.
Darlings, struggle. Do not give up. Struggle and struggle and struggle and DO NOT GIVE UP! You have worth, and love and life.

Never, ever, give up on yourself because I am not giving up on you!
