A Time To Consider Medicine

These past couple months have been exceptionally hard for me. . . I have found that my day-to-day struggling with my emotions has become unpredictable. My anxiety has become more present in my daily functions and has slowly become a hinderance in achieving my goals. The honest truth is that I have wanted to post on several occasions but I found myself battling to allow the thoughts to escape me freely. 
Depression and Anxiety are two diagnoses I have had for over 20 years and over those years I've had many trying times when attempting to handle them on my own without medical help or assistance. 
I have know for a while now that I needed help, more help than just talking to someone in passing about how I have been feeling. With that said I have decided to talk with my doctor this week about prescription options that will help me balance out my anxiety and depression. I want to post this because so many people who face the same feelings of depression and anxiety often don't get the help they need because of their fear of the negative sigmas attached to mental health.
Maybe if we as a society where more open minded about the realities of mental health illnesses more people would feel less ashamed and instead feel strong enough to receive the help they deserve.
I will be posting about depression and anxiety, my personal battles during these recent months. . .

Thanks for reading, God Bless!
