I Battle Depression
Lately I've started to feel more depressed than usual and I've started to wonder if I'll be taking steps back from how far I've come to overcome it. It's a harsh reminder that if I let the worst side of me beat out the better side of me, then I'll become totally lost like I once was.
It comes down to how much I care about myself and how much work and effort I'm willing to put in so I can persevere and meet new plateaus, hopefully one day finding the peak where depression doesn't register any more.
I think one of the hardest things is finding the will to improve when you're dealing with thoughts that are encouraging you to give up. Therein lies the battle.
On a positive note, I can say as I write this, that I enjoy the challenge. If we don't have obstacles to overcome that help mould us into something more advanced than what we once were, then how can it be satisfying to live our lives?
As I'm to die like everyone else, I'd prefer to die having achieved something worthwhile.
