Ive decided Im ready share something with the world. I decided to speak out when I had a conversation with someone very successful and close to me who has the same condition but I had NO idea. After years of silence, I finally realised there is nothing to be ashamed of. I hate to use the word suffer (because I dont) so I will only say, I experience Depression and Anxiety. A few years ago, I went through a really bad patch where lots of things went wrong in my life, I was completely out of control of it and could not pull myself out of the horrible feeling of sadness. With the endless support of my family, I was diagnosed with depression and immediately started treatment. Ive come so far since then. Ive found a passion for fitness, completely transformed myself physically and emotionally, bought a house, travelled, competed and won a few trophies and achieved so much in my life that I can be proud of. Although I am still taking minimal medication, my depression has never held me back from living life to the fullest and actually, I am thankful for it!! If I had never hit rock bottom, I would never have sought help and would not be where I am right NOW and have all this awesomeness that is my life. My depression is part of me but not all of me and it does not control me. Ive realised the ONLY time depression is bad is when it is not treated!! So if you are feeling ongoing sadness or hopelessness, dont be afraid to seek help, it will be the best decision of your life. And so today Ive reached another milestone...now I can freely say, I have been diagnosed with depression and I am 100% proud of who I AM! ✌️🌸⭐️❤️ #mentalhealth #depression #dontbeafraid #bebrave #loveallofyou #youareperfectasyouare #speakout #embraceyourfears
