Don't Stutter, Don't Fear

Logic 18002738255 "I finally wanna be alive I don't wanna die today I don't wanna die I finally wanna be alive I finally wanna be alive I don't wanna die" I want you to get to that point, beautiful. Because I am there, and it is a tough battle, but I promise you can win it! Hey you, hang in there. It does get a lot better. "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." But, it does get better. I don't know if you who is reading this is a Christian or not, but I want to let you know that prayer works. I have been praying a lot lately and I know others have been praying for me also since they knew I have been struggling. People have "appeared" in my life recently and I know it is not by coincidence because God has placed them there for me. There are no coincidences with God. People have come at the perfect time for me when I was at my weakest. Last week, I had one of the best nights of my l...

(Don't read this if suicide and depression are sensitive subjects for you.) MDD. It's ugly. It came and hit like a category 5 hurricane. No interest to do anything, except sleep. That sounds great.

"I'll be honest with all that I've been through I've been runnin' after everything but you And I'll be honest Nothing satisfies Like the love I find inside your eyes" My depression decided to rear its ugly head again, only this time, it's worse than normal. This is the worst stage I have ever went through and I don't know when it is going to end, but I hope it is soon. Listen, I know suicide is not the answer, but do you know how hard it is to fight those thoughts away when you have them? My depression doesn't really have a reason I guess like some people would say. I just know that it is hard to be happy when your inner thoughts fight with you constantly. I am on a liberal campus away from my family so maybe that is an explanation. Sometimes there isn't an explanation. I just know that currently I'm typing through tears.  The last two weeks I have been waking up with awful headaches and I have bee...
