Taking Control Of Your Mental Health.
For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with some type of mental illness. When I was about 13 years old I recognized the beginnings of the struggles of depression and anxiety. I started to become sad for absolutely no reason at all, I isolated myself, I saw no purpose in life, and along came the suicidal thoughts. My anxiety grew when I was around large groups of people, I worried that everyone was talking ill of me, and I lived in a constant state of paranoia. Along with these struggles also came an eating disorder that still effects some of my life today. It wasn't until November of 2019 that I decided to really do something serious about my mental health. I started taking antidepressants, and now I see a counselor. I could lie and tell you that I'm better, cured, or fixed, but that just isn't the truth. Some days are good, some days are bad, and some are a mixture of both. What I want everyone to take away from this is that you are NOT alone. You CAN take small steps to better your mental health. Taking small steps can really lead to big changes. If medicine or therapy isn't an option for you, there are ways that you can improve. Here is a list of ways that have helped me over the years.
