Depression

By Mitzi Beliveau

My message for the day is to those who suffer from depression or live with a bunch of AH for family and friends.

Sometimes you have to let some people go. If they can’t accept who the real you are. Sometimes you don’t know who you are. You might be so busy keeping everyone happy you don’t have a YOU. People will come and go, and families will get mad. Make yourself happy. Believe in yourself. You may think you make mistakes, but they are just learning tools. We all have these tools! Do a few things you love. A nap, lying in bed, listening to your music, playing with your dog or cat, going by the lake, eating, or whatever it is that you like to do. It is a reward for being you in those moments. Sometimes we work so hard trying to please others we lose ourselves. As you get older, you discover you are your best friend. Others come and go, help us at the moment. But we live with ourselves through the good times and the bad times. We are still here. Sometimes a mess, sometimes empty. But we are still here and have overcome some stuff others could not. Believe in yourself because you are a warrior. You have the battle scars of your heart to prove it. Having the courage to live another day moment by moment. Mitzi Beliveau
