Snapping My Way Out
For as long as I can remember, I've battled anxiety and depression. To be perfectly honest, I can barely remember a time when I felt completely content and at ease for any prolonged period of time, partiulary in recent history. That being said, I was able to trudge my way through life pretty successfully without anyone noticing. Like millions of other people around the world, I put on the "smiling mask" and functioned as the world expected me to, a great career, 3 great kids, all in all, a great life. Whatever needed to be done, I could, and would do it. "No" wasn't in my vocabulary. I was the strong one, the super woman who could do it all and look good doing it.
