A lot of things have been turned upside-down during this worldwide crisis. People are dealing with unemployment, struggling with child care, suffering from a mental illness, or something else they didn't have to think about (or as much) previously. The world as we know it changed in a matter of days to something that none of us have ever experienced. We could all use a pick-me-up.

To the beautiful, bright smiled, ray of sunshine reading this right now, YOU ARE ENOUGH. Say it until you believe it because you are so worthy and you are enough. Don't you ever forget it.

I know how hard things are right now, but I promise, you will be OK.

I have been struggling with keeping myself up the last few days, but thankfully I have an awesome support team behind me. I've always told myself that once you know how to pick yourself back up that you can do anything and honestly, it's the truth. Although your support system can help pick you up and tell you how amazing you are, you also need to pick yourself up.

I know, I know, it is way easier said than done, but it's possible. You have to know your worth, don't let anyone take that away from you, because that is yours to keep.

I wish that I could say recovery is an easy thing, but unfortunately it just isn't. It never will be. You can not just swallow your antidepressants, anxiety medications, etc. and all of your problems be solved. I wish it worked that way, but it does not.

I would be lying if I said I have been perfectly fine since I got put on the six different medications that I take. I have been better, but not perfect. Just when I think I have everything figured out, it just falls back apart. Most of the time I just sit in bed, think about it, call my friends or family, talk it out, and figure it out all over again.

Life is full of things falling apart and fixing them back up.

Some days I feel like I'll never get better, that I will never be fully happy again, and I wish so much that I could go back and be the person I was before the world tore me down. Then I remember that I am that person, just stronger. I am stronger because of the things I have gone through, and so are you. God will not put us through things that we cannot handle.

A few days ago, I wasn't feeling myself. I was so down. I wanted to leave the house, but I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to be alive, I just didn't feel worthy, I felt like nothing I would ever do could be enough, I felt like I was so useless.

I'm OK now, thanks to the wonderful people I have in my life. I am so incredibly thankful for them — they know who they are. This was such a tough moment for me because I was right back to where I was just five months ago. I didn't want to go back to the hospital and I for sure did not want to be stuck in there for weeks again, because I worked so hard to be here and I could never do that to my friends and family again. I am so much stronger than that girl five months ago, which is why I am here, why I survived. I took my medications and gave them to my mom, just in case I got any thoughts, and that, that is what helped me realize how far I have came since five months ago. I am so much stronger than that girl.

This is your fight to fight.

It is so easy to sit there and wonder about what could be, but stop it. Stop worrying about the past because you can't change it, and don't worry about the future because you can't control it. Again, easier said than done. Someone doesn't have the same feelings about you? Someone doesn't give you the same love you have to offer? That's OK, because you are worthy of someone who realizes your worth. You deserve someone who can return the same amount of love that you have to offer. Someone that won't take you for granted and someone that loves everything about you. Don't settle for less and don't give up what you believe in for someone else. Someone who loves you and cares about you would not make you give up something that means a lot to you. Worried about not being good enough for that job promotion? You wouldn't have gotten it if you didn't deserve it. Put in the work and nothing can beat that. No self-confidence? Self-care is key. Take care of yourself. Remove toxic people from your life. Just be you. You belong here and you deserve to be happy.

Don't forget to take care of those around you in these tough times, but don't forget to take care of yourself too because you are just as important.
