I plan on writing a longer blog post about this, but heres the spark notes version. Ive been battling a lot the last 6-8 years. Poor body image, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and now a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Its been an insane up and down battle that sometimes just feels like a downgrade into a gorge. However, as one of my favorite quotes goes, though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. And the sun does rise, friends, it does. With the help of medication, therapy, love from my friends, unwavering support from my family and healthier habits, I have begun to see a difference in myself. My weight is down over 40 lbs from when I was at my highest (ironically at my lowest emotional point), I have started smiling again, and I have started feeling happier. I can see a difference and Im sure you can too. Thanks for your comments and words of support, encouragement, and praise. I appreciate them more than you know. As I kick the writing career slowly into the works, I will always remember those who held me up over those who kept me down.
