What It's Like Living With Anxiety And Depression
gayavintage.info

Having anxiety is one thing. Having depression is another. But having both is hell.

Imagine this, you wake up in the morning you slept better than you ever have… but you still feel tired. You don't want to get out of bed and face the world. All you want to do is lay in bed and sleep all day. You just want to be ALONE. As the day goes on, all you've done is sleep. The next day, you want to do the same thing, but you can't. So you get ready to greet the day that you know you're already dreading. You get to where you're going and everyone asks “what’s wrong?”, but you don't have a direct answer to give them besides the common answer, “nothing, i'm okay."

People have different signs of depression. Not everyone is the same. Same with anxiety, everyone has it different and everyone deals with it differently. Before an anxiety attack happens, some may have a rapid heartbeat, tingling in their fingers, a dizzy feeling. But when you have that feeling, you know what's going to happen so you try and stop it before it gets worse.

When you have anxiety, it feels as if the world around you is spinning and everyone is against you. When you have depression, you feel sad, or mad, or you feel nothing at all. You go on with the day only because you feel as if you have to, not because you WANT TO.

You have people around you who want to help you, but you don't let them in. How can you let someone help you when you can't even help you? But let that person in to help you. Let them be there for you because it will be worth it in the end.

You hate feeling like this but it seems as if nothing is going to change, so you put on your face for the day and fool EVERYONE. And that's just how it’s gonna be.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
